It is a forward-slash  /   not  backslash  \ .

This works perfectly for me.
Using ~ does not work at all -- presumably since the shell
that runs LaTeX doesn't expand the ~ when looking for files.

I'm using TeXshop  with:
    This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.11b-2.1 (Web2C 7.5.2)

Morten, what are you using, that does (?) give expansion of ~ ?

Not too many, yet.  :-)

Morten's suggestion of:

   \expandafter\graphicspath\expandafter{\expandafter{\detokenize{~/ 
Pictures/}}}

requires an appropriate expansion for \detokenize .
That's rather technical to write, if you don't have it already.

Here's a way to trivially emulate ~ expansion:


\documentclass[letterpaper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}

{%     restrict the re-definition of  ~
\def~{/Users/rossmoor}
\xdef\myPictures{{~/Pictures/}}
}%     returns ~ to normal, retaining  \myPictures

\expandafter\graphicspath\expandafter{\myPictures}

\begin{document}
\includegraphics*[bb=0 0 67 75]{face1.jpg}
\includegraphics*[viewport=0 0 67 75,clip]{face1.jpg}
\end{document}


Adapt the user-name for yourself, of course.
