Am i wrong here, i dont like the way lightroom wants to hog your photo's when ive edited them i want to keep elsewhere without having to go into folders to copy and paste am i missing something i usually do

I can't see exactly what you mean I'm afraid Ray
I don't usually move my photos after editing them, but if you do, Lightroom will 'forget' where they are, and you'll have to tell it again. This can be done automatically with synchronization, but IMO it's best just not to confuse the program and leave the files be. Why do you want to move them exactly?

HTH a bit

Good question i really dont know other than i have 2 folders, 1 edited photos and 2 edited resizes its just what im used to, so when ive edited my photos whats the next step please

This may be wrong because I don't use LR, but when you import your photos you can choose to 'index in original location' or something like that. That stops LR duplicating the RAW files to where it wants. You can also choose the Export folder for the converted files.

LR doesn't let you use the folder structure to browse, and it doesn't have a conventional Save or Save As function - you have to import and export.

Grr i made a new folder then exported my photos to it from lightroom, but it put a folder inside the folder i think i will stick to my own system for now
