I have tried to change the location where my imported photos on my iMac are stored. I have gone to Preferences/Camera or Card Reader/Save files in/Browse. I hve changed the location to where I put all my photos on an External HD. Click OK.

However, the new location doesn't stick. I have to continually change from the default "User/regmikewall/Pictures to my desired location.

Why is this happening? How can I permanently change the location.

Thanks in advance for your help

I'll throw this out in hopes it helps:

Save images

quoting --

"Save changes with a different file format, name, or location

Use the Save command to save changes to the current file or the Save As command to save changes with a different file format, name, or location."

Larry, thank you for your input, unfortunately Ism not saving photos I have edited, I am trying to import photos from my DSLR's card to a specific location on an external HD.

In PS Elements 2025, I can go to, on my iMac, PSE/preferences/files and change the lication and when I click OK, and get out and come back the new location has been sabed

HOWEVER, wen I go to PSE / cameraOrCardReader and change the location and cluck OK amd lravevznd come back the location is the default location and NOT the new location I had entered

hope this was clear

It is frustrating that I have to enter the new loaction everytime

I know almost nothing about Macs. In addition to changing the file storage preference for Camera or Card Reader, have you also changed the preference for Files? If not, it's worth a shot:
