Move photos between folders

I want to move photos between folders in dropbox. On my PC I could download the photo folders, open two photo screens and drag and drop pictures between them. How do I do that in Yosemite?

S/He seems to want to open two finder windows. These photo folders referred to seem to be on dropbox.
I hope so, but was a bit concerned, that the question might relates to the way, that Dropbox is importing iPhoto Libraries or backing up iPhoto Libraries. I wanted to be sure, that the iPhoto Library is not actually sitting in Dropbox,, or referenced originals.
As in these links:

Why can't you do so? Can you provide details?

C3-01 - Moving Photos Between Folders On SD Memory...

I’m stumped on how to move photos between folders on the SD memory card in my new C3-01.
When I take a photo, it saves it to the ‘Images’ folder on the SD card, but there doesn’t appear to be an easy way to get it from that folder onto one of my other folders.
On my previous phone, I’d do the following –
1 – Open the item
2 – Go to ‘Options’
3 – Scroll down to ‘Move’
4 – When the list of available options was displayed, I’d highlight the ‘Memory card’, and press Options’ again to get an ‘Open folder’ option.
5 – Select the ‘Open folder’ option.
6 – Scroll down to the folder I wanted to put the photo in to.
However, on my C3-01, once I get to option 4 above, there don’t appear to be any other options available. I now have a situation where I’ve moved items from my Images folder on my memory card but can’t put them into any sub-folders.
Is this function no longer available? If so, it does seem a bit unusual.
Hope someone can help.
Many thanks
Martin

To open photos from Photos in Preview use the Media Browser. You do not need to have Photos open to use the photos inPreview.
In Preview use the command "Flle > Open".
The File Chooser dialog will open. Switch the file chooser to columns view and scroll down, until you see the Media section.
Click the Photos view.
Select the Photos app and click the disclosure triangle.

How to move files between folders within Lightroom 3?

I would like to move a file from one folder to another within Lightroom 3 (let's not discuss why). I searched the threads but couldn't find the answer (maybe I missed it). When I click on a photo within grid view then drag and drop that file onto a different folder in the folder panel (to do the move), a little plus sign (copy) appears and a copy of the file is placed in the second folder. If I try to delete the photo from the original folder (to get the move), both copies of the file are removed. I've tried holding down all sorts of keys on the imac but cannot get the move to work. Ideally, I'd like to move a group of photos but cannot even move one. Does anyone know how to move files between folders in Lightroom 3?

Your suggestion works. Thank you for posting it.

Try selecting the photos, right-clicking the target folder and choosing
"Move Selected Photos to This Folder".

Hard Drive Failing, Need to Move Photo Source Folders

How does one move photo source folders from one drive to another in PSE11 without loosing the file links?

General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

Can't move photos or folders inside Lightroom

Dragging photos or folders doesn't work properly. I've tried dragging the image and the border of photos but neither works. Occasionally, I can move photos, but more than 50% of the time it doesn't. I've been having this trouble since using Lightroom a couple of years ago, but now it fails more than it works. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

>>
I think the main reason we photographers try to move the pictures by clicking on the frames is that we are trained to avoid touching the picture itself not to leave any fingerprints.
<<
You are right there! Intuitively I wasn't clicking over the image because from the first time I started using a camera my father drilled into me: Don't touch the negative except on the edges. To this day I cringe at people touching their monitors because of the finger prints they leave behind.

Move photos between rolls

Hi,
I don't know why this is so difficult but I just want to do the most basic thing. In photos view, I want to create a roll (new category of pictures). Then I want to move photos from one roll to another. I can drag them up or down but I will move to the top with my pictures selected and it will move a little bit but then stop. I can't go up all the way to a different roll.
I tried cut and paste but that didn't work either.
Thanks in advance

You're absolutely right, Apple isn't that dumb and I have no difficulty dragging and dropping between Events, though you seem to, so I suggested a way for that works for those who have problems with dragging and dropping.
d then, when adding photos, I can't drag a photo to a specific event. I would have to drag it to iPhoto, it will create a new roll, then go to that roll, flag the photos in that roll, go back to events, add flag photos to that event, then go to that event, find the flagged photos and then unflag them.
Well, no matter what you cannot import to a specific Event. Every import creates at least one new Event. Of course, the most recent Event is easy to find: just click on that 'Last Import' on the left hand pane.
Unflagging is pretty straightforward too. Try clicking on the 'Flagged Photos' on the left hand pane (Hint: it's directly below 'Last Import'), command-a selects all, and unflag them.
Or, practise dragging and dropping.

Move files between folders

I can not drag and drop files between folders within LR5. Can only move files using OS then finding them LR5 Permissions are OK, using Mac latest updated OS. Any suggestions?

Make sure you are dragging the picture thumbnail and not the frame around it.

Unable to move photos between albums in search mode

I am unable to move picture between albums when I have done a search for a title etc. eg. search for 'Leeds' brings up 20 pics one album and 15 in another, but the two albums are several years apart (possibly 100's of rolls!).
Why am I unable to then drag the pics from one roll to another? Is this a known issue? Very annoying when dealing with various project over various years and the only way is to drag the pics all the way down, often getting lost!!
Any advice?
Thanks

You may be able to do it as follows:
1 - assign a unique keyword to each of those files. Something like "AAAAAAAA" will stand out when you're looking for it.
2 -set the view options to View keywords only.
3 - set the sort option to sort by keyword.
4 - now look for that unique keyword, select them all and create a new roll. To see the new roll you'll have to reset rolls to be viewed.
If there are more than one keyword for those photos, the the first keyword assigned to that photo will determine where it falls in the listing of photos. So it's best if there are no keywords other than the unique one.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Move Photos between pages in book

Making my first photobook in iphotos.
Created book from an album and has autofilled.
I understand that I can move photos within a page but how can I exchange a photo from one page for a photo in another page?
Thanks for any help.
Arthur

You cannot directly switch photos between pages.
Just drag the photo you want to add to a page from the "Photos" tab (All Photos) onto the photo that you want to remove. Do the same for the photo on the second page.

How do you move pictures between albums not juat copy? Presently when moving a photo a copy is left behind.

You may be able to do it as follows:

My iPhoto stopped letting me move photos between albums.

i used to be able to move the photos i uploaded to my iphoto between the different albums i have and now it wont let me. does anyone know why or how to fix it?

What version of iPhoto do you have?
as to moving photos between albums just open the source album and drag the photos to the destination album in the source pane on the left
And you do not "upload" photos - you import them - typically an import does not create an album - it creates an event - how are you importing your photos?
