You are welcome.


Export, then Search:

Export*** everything to an external Hard Drive, and then search the Hard Drive using the search bar (magnifying glass) on the top-right corner of the window.

Thank you all for your assistance, I did check iCloud directly and found my photos in their correct sequences, however, I did not and was not able to locate about eight photos that are important to me and that I had not deleted. I had not exported any of the photos at this time. My looking for these pics was to prepare them for export. I have not set up any situation or procedures prior to trying to locate them.
