I am trying to restore older versions of an iPhoto library onto my computer (running 10.11.6) from Time Machine without restoring the entire backup from that day. I have googled quite a bit and managed to do it once with one version of the library, essentially by accident, and haven't been able to do it with another version.
What I am actually trying to do: I recently discovered that my boyfriend was having a sexual relationship with a student of his. I am a mandated reporter and need to report him (plus what he's doing is wrong beyond words!). I took screenshots of some Instagram Stories several months ago that raised red flags for me. I convinced myself that I was wrong and deleted them. I want to see if older versions of the iPhoto library might still have some of these pictures. I was able to view individual pictures via Time Machine without restoring the backup, but I wasn't able to view the pictures in iPhoto's "Trash." I was able to find one of the pictures in iPhoto's "Trash" in the September backup I was able to restore, but I'd also like to check the "trash" in the August and October backups, but I can't figure out how.
Thank you for any suggestions. This has been the worst week of my life and I am at my wit's end trying to put together this report of everything I know while processing that someone I loved isn't who I thought he was and is, in fact, a terrible manipulative liar, while still having to face him at work every day and pretend that I don't know.
