Then go to the Folders panel in the Library module. Go to the files or folders you wish to move, then drag them to the new location. This is the same method to use, whether you are merely moving folders on the same drive, or moving them on to a separate drive.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, can I move my Lightroom catalog? You can move your catalog to a different location on your computer&#8217;s hard drive, to an external disk, or to another computer altogether. For details, see Move a catalog. To move a catalog between a Windows computer and a Mac, copy your catalog, preview, and image files from the original computer onto an external drive.<\/p>\n<p>Amazingly, how do I move my Lightroom folder to an external drive? From the Folders panel, click on a folder that you want to put on the external drive and drag it from your internal drive to the new folder you just created. Click the Move button and Lightroom transfers everything over to the external drive, with no extra effort required on your part.<\/p>\n<p>As many you asked, how do I manage Folders in Lightroom Classic? Click the triangle to the left of a folder to see any subfolders it contains. You can add and move folders in the Folders panel, rename folders, and delete them. Changes you make to folders in Lightroom Classic are applied to the folders themselves on the volume.<\/p>\n<p>You asked, how do I move photos in Lightroom Classic? Drag the photo or photos to the destination folder in the Folders panel: Drag from the center of the thumbnail, not from the edge. Note: You cannot copy photos in Lightroom Classic. The photos are moved to the destination folder in Lightroom Classic as well as on the hard drive.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2SYk7xDl_50\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>How many Lightroom catalogs should I have?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>As a general rule, use as few catalogs as you can. For most photographers, that&#8217;s a single catalog, but if you need additional catalogs, think it through carefully before you act. Multiple catalogs can work, but they also add a degree of complexity that&#8217;s unnecessary for most photographers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Should Lightroom catalog be on external drive?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Your photos must be stored on the external drive. Once the catalog is opened from either computer, changes to the photo are saved to the catalog and can be seen from both devices.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I move photos library from one external drive to another?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch Photos. From the resulting menu select \u201cOther Library\u201d and navigate to the new location. You&#8217;ll get a message that says: \u201cThis library contains items that need to download from iCloud Photo Library.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I move photos from Lightroom to another drive?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EHqK2HqXCXA\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Where are my Folders in Lightroom?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Generally, most of the folders in Lightroom are created outside Lightroom, or as part of Import, but there are also tools to create them within Lightroom. Click the plus (+) icon in the Folders panel header to access the Folders menu. From there you can create a new folder or even a subfolder inside the current folder.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I add a folder to Lightroom Classic?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Adding Folders\u2014While creating a new folder is straightforward enough (click the plus icon in the Folder panel header, select Add Folder, and create the new Folder in the desired location), you can also use the New Folder icon to make Lightroom Classic aware of an already existing folder on disk that has yet to be &#8230;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do you organize collections in Lightroom?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In the Grid view, select photos and do one of the following:  <\/li>\n<li>In the Create Collection dialog box, type a name in the Collection box.<\/li>\n<li>If you want the collection to be part of a collection set, choose it from the Set menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I move pictures into a folder?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>On your Android phone, open Gallery Go .<\/li>\n<li>Tap Folders More.
