You can of course always manually move the photos back (or anywhere else for that matter). No worry about the edits you have done to the photos.

I am trying to move photos in a collection from the folder they were originally imported into to a new folder. When I try to move the selected photos, I get the warning that any changes cannot be undone – is this just with respect to the folder move? or should I worry about any edits I’ve done to a photo that I may want to undo?

And there is always the old-fashioned ctrl-click that gives the same menu. Last but not least, if you select a photo you can go to the Photo menu (in the top menu bar) and find Go to Folder in Library. So, in Grid view of the Library module, ctrl-click one of the photos and you will see this menu: http://grab.by/cKq3 Choose Go to folder in Library. Then look in the Folders panel and see what folder that photo is located in. Every photo imported into Lightroom has to be stored in a folder regardless of whether or not it is also in a collection. Collections are optional. Folders are mandatory. Brinker, I use a Mac too, and you know they do have a mouse with a right-click button now. :)

When I go to the grid view in Library Module and highlight one of the pics I see in the filmstrip that it is in: Collections/Recently Modified/83 photos/1 selected/untitled-5.NEF. In the LR menubar there is a "show photos in subfolder" in the Library Selection. That's the closest I can get to "show in Folder". I checked the other options in the menubar too. Any other options?

This will reveal what folder they were copied into during import. If you need to move them after that use the steps in this tutorial for that.

How do I move these 3 sets into 3 different folders (by date 2011-09-26 etc) in the regular folders area of LR? I somehow imported the last 3 sets of pics into the Collections area of LR.

Do you mean that you want to export copies and add those exported copies back to the catalog? Can you say more? Libby, I’m not sure what you are trying to say.

Can anyone tell me how I can do this? Thanks so much. I would like to be able to reopen photo files that I exported from Lightroom to a new folder, but everytime I try, it will not let me.
