    Which error do you get? How do you compile your document, with pdflatex or another engine? – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Jan 18 '19 at 11:03
  • Are you sure you are using pdfLaTeX (or LuaLaTeX, XeLaTeX) and not the original LaTeX in DVI Mode? In DVI Mode PNGs are not supported. Please post the error message(s) in question. – Martin Scharrer♦ Jan 18 '19 at 11:40
  • Also {/Users/richie/Downloads} doesn't sound that right. You are under MS Windows, right? Try e.g {c:/Users/richie/Downloads/}. – Martin Scharrer♦ Jan 18 '19 at 11:41

According to the documentation for graphicx, \graphicspath expects a list of names in the same format as that required for the LaTeX \input@path. As the LaTeX source tells us

[E]ither dir should be defined as a macro with argument delimited by space, or it should just expand to a directory name, including the final directory separator, so that it may be concatenated with the filename. This means that for UNIX-like syntax, each dir should end with a slash, /.

You are missing the final slash in the directory. That at least is one possible reason why the file will not be found. Of course, if you are using Windows you have, as Martin Scharrer pointed out in his comment, another problem too.

  • From the screenshots I'd say it is mac and not windows, so I think you nailed the problem – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Jan 18 '19 at 17:02

    I thought it was probably Mac. I think the documentation of graphicx could be improved on this point: it would be more useful for most users to simply be told to add the final slash, rather than be left to root around in source2e for information about \input@path ... especially since the error message does not help much. – Paul Stanley Jan 18 '19 at 17:06
  • The author of graphicx might not have considered the possibility, that people would read the documentation :) – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Jan 18 '19 at 17:14

You need to add an slash / at final part of the path.

This works for me:

\graphicspath{{/home/rogelioprieto/Downloads/}}

for you:

\graphicspath{ {/Users/richie/Downloads/} }

This is an example in documentation:
