Hi,

I made a folder on Photos on my Mac of all the photos I would like to move to Lightroom - how do I move them?

Thank you!

That still doesn't answer my question. On mac when you look in Photos it is stored under a masters file and then by date, rather than by folder and I just want to move one folder to lightroom.

Sorry, but I don't understand exactly what you try to do. Maybe it's because I have no experience with Macs

Can you described a litte bit more detailed and if possible post a screenshot so we can see the structure you try t oget in LR

You have to import the photos into Lightroom.

I'm looking more specifically than this, or else I would not be asking the question! At the moment I currently have my photos in Apple Photos application. On this I made a large folder of my favourites and I want to drag them all to Lightroom but it doesn't seem to allow me.

Lightroom (the cloud based program) or Lightroom Classic (the desktop based program)?
