Looking at a photo in Classic, is it possible to see which collections the particular photo is listed in ?

    Do a right click on the appropriate picture and find the option "Go to Collection". It should contain the list of collections where that photo is.

    To add to Axel's correct answer-

    If you have Badges showing on the thumbnails, you can-

    1) Hover the cursor pointer on the Collection Badge to see a notification- [Photo is in Collection]

    2) Single-click the mouse cursor on the Collection Badge to see the List of Collections containing that photo. (also without needing to Go-to the Collection)

      Thank you wobertc, however there are no collection badges on my thumbnails.

      Happy with the right click method but now curious how I switch on the Collection Badge, can't find it in settings anywhere ?

      If you're looking at the Filmstrip, the option to "Show Badges" is on the Interface Tab of the Lightroom Preferences. Note, however, that if the size of the Filmstrip is too small, badges will not be shown even if that Preferences option has been set. Increase the size of the Filmstrip to fix.

      If you're looking in the Grid, there's an on/off option in the View>View Options>Grid View tab>Cell Icons section>Thumbnail Badges.
