How to view an individual photo file

If using the Lightroom (Cloud ecosystem) v6.4 then your files are stored in the Cloud!

COMPARE LIGHTROOM & LIGHTROOM-CLASSIC FEATURES

Hi @anonymous_hedgehog 

Thanks for reaching out. We're here to assist you. In Lightroom, the location of your photo files on your computer depends on how you've set up your Lightroom catalog and import settings. 

Are you using Lightroom Classic?

If yes, try these steps:

1. Open Lightroom and select the Library module.
2. Look for the "Folders" panel on the left-hand side in the Library module. If it's not visible, click the "Show" menu and select "Folders."
3. In the "Folders" panel, you'll see a list of folders that contain your imported photos. Click on the arrow next to each folder to expand it and see the images within.

If you imported photos using the "Add" option, you won't see any physical folders in Lightroom's "Folders" panel. Instead, you'll see a list of folders representing the directories where your photos are located on your computer.

You'll see the folders you specified during the import process if you imported photos using the "Copy" or "Copy as DNG" option.

By locating the folders in the "Folders" panel of Lightroom, you can find the original location of your photo files on your computer. Remember that Lightroom's catalog system allows you to manage and organize your photos within the app while leaving the original files intact in their locations on your computer.

Let us know if it helps!

Best,
