I am trying to insert an image in latex document. But I am getting an error. I am using the following commands with \usepackage{graphicx}
\graphicspath{ {/Users/richie/Downloads} }
\includegraphics{Log.png}
I am attaching my code and error.

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 – user36296 Jan 18 at 17:02

1I thought it was probably Mac. I think the documentation of
graphicxcould 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 insource2efor information about\input@path... especially since the error message does not help much. – Paul Stanley Jan 18 at 17:06 -
The author of
graphicxmight not have considered the possibility, that people would read the documentation :) – user36296 Jan 18 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:

2Isn't this exactly what the already existing answer by @Paul Stanley said? – user36296 Jan 18 at 21:41

yeah, but when I've read for first time, didn't appeared @Paul Stanley answer! – Rogelio Prieto Jan 19 at 0:42
{/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 at 11:41
