Thanks for the tutorial. Can you expand a little and discuss moving a catalog. I have my catalog on my C drive and my pictures on my D. Is this a good idea? If not, how do I move the file? Which file should I move? Should I make a new folder in my pictures file on D drive first?

Does anyone out there know if it is possible to see ONLY the palettes from LR on a separate monitor? I know it will “mirror” but that’s not what I’m looking for.. Thanks.

Matt, what if there are some folders that I have not added to Lightroom, but they are in my main Photos folder; will those ones be moved if I move the folder from within Lightroom? Also, if not, is there a way to quickly have Lightroom add folders from a main folder without importing duplicate folders?

Thanks

Hello Matt! Greetings from Nicaragua! Thanks so much for your hard work, I love your website, podcasts, books, everything

I’ve looked around to find a solution to my problem, but haven’t found anything. Maybe I’m just not looking hard enough. I’m sure I’m not the only one with this question: What is the best or most efficient way to move and/or copy photos I’ve already developed between catalogs?

Thanks!
Gil

Hello Matt! Your presentation of moving folders in lightroom was so very helpful! In a couple of hours time I had FINALLY organized almost 4,000 photos into one place on my computer in one main folder with numerous subfolders. Now finding photos is simple and quick. Thank you!

After everything was organized I realized that a few pictures were in the wrong folders, probably a result of previous attempts to click and drag and dropping them in the wrong place by accident. I can’t seem to figure out how to move individual photos from one folder to another within Lightroom. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Hi.
I love these videos, but there is one problem I have that I have’nt found the solution for yet. I’m now running out of disc space and therefore want to move my entire picture collection to a new hard drive. How do I do this without having to import all the pictures again?

Thanks!

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the video’s regarding the folder structure (and for all the other video’s – I really appreciate it!).

After moving folder 2007-02-17 into your top level folder Photos, the next step would very likely be to rename that folder to Jim Photoshoot (or whatever the boy’s name is). How do you do that from Lightroom? That is something I am struggeling with and it would complete the folder structure story.

Thanks!

Edgar

Matt- ignore my earlier question on file renaming. Of course it’s dead easy. Library- Rename Photos. Seek and ye shall find…
