When I download iPhone photos (HEIC) into LR Classic V12.01 it sends them to a Download file in LR instead of my LR 2022 file.  I want them to go to my 2022 file.  How do I do that? I have an iMac

Are you downloading photo files from the iPhone to the iMac by a direct connection (eg. USB cable)?

Or, are you using Lr-Mobile on the iPhone and allowing them to automatically sync down to the Lr-Classic Catalog via the Cloud?

 

If it is the second case, then Lr-Classic has an option in the Preferences/Lightroom Sync Tab where you set the folder 'Location' for the sync (download).

Rather than "dragging" photos to LrC, try using the Import dialog from the menu or the [Import] button.-

Use the [MOVE] option at the top of screen, and pay particular attention to the checked Destination Folder/s in the Destination panel. This will indicate to you 'where' your photos will 'end up' in a storage folder.
