I hope someone out there can give me help. Searching Adobe for help has been worthless for me! I have my photos saved to my local HDD (Mac running Sonoma). They have been titled and arranged in albums via LrC. I have some photos I'd like to see in more than one album, but I am stuck. Is this possible (thinking of Apple Photos) or does it require me to actually create a physical copy of the photo?

Deleted, others replied while I was tying, my reply is of no value.

Your search may be failing because LrC does not have albums.

If you mean Collections and not Albums (is that what you mean?), drag the photo(s) into collection 1, then drag the photo(s) into collection 2.

Creating a 2nd physical copy should never be necessary in LrC.

Yes, my terminology was off. My photos are arranged in FOLDERS on my HDD.

If you want the photo to be in multiple FOLDERS, this seems like a poor choice given the entire set of tools available in Lightroom Classic. Collections (or keywords) allow you to solve the problem, as I explained above.

I would like to understand the problem more, why are you trying to do this, what is the end benefit? Its likely other solutions would work better, and I could suggest other approaches if only I understood why you are doing this and what the end benefit is.

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
