When I move a picture in Lightroom, what gets moved?

Hi,
When I select an image and move it to another folder, what gets moved?  Is it the RAW file?  What about the exported file?
For example, I go the the Library, and select a Virtual Image that has been Exported and select to move it to another folder.  What gets moved?
I'd like to move the RAW image to one folder, and the processed JPG to another.  They are in different folders now.  Not sure how this works.
Thanks.

1) If you want to know what the image in the Grid is, you can:
Check the Metadata panel for information about the selected image:
Press Ctrl-J to set up what's shown on compact or expanded cells:
and then use shortcut "J" to toggle between nothing, compact view and expanded view on your Grid thumbnails:
If it shows it's a raw image, then the raw image will be moved.
2) If you did not add the exported images to your catalog (neither by importing nor by having "Add to this Catalog" checked in the export dialog),
then you can (must) move them manually using Finder/Explorer from outside of LR, without implications on LR.
You can also find out whether they are part of your catalog or not by choosing "All Photographs" in Grid view and see if you have a JPEG shown next to your Raw, or if your Raw shows a stack sign (number in thumbnail).

  • When i choose a picture in Lightroom 5, a popup says file not found.  What am i doing wrong?

    When I choose a picture in Lightroom 5, and click on Develop, it was file not found.  What am I doing wrong?

    It means the photo has been moved, renamed or deleted outside of Lightroom (Hint: don't do that)
    To fix the problem, either move the photo back to where it was (using your operating system), or re-connect in Lightroom following these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • When i open a picture from photos, i get an error message

    Hi please can any one help me , this problem has only just started when i open a picture from photos it disappears and i get a black screen with a clear circle and a ! in the middle , it happens on all of my pictures , please can any one help , thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The only thing i have done was empty my all image folder in finder under the search for triangle
    By empty do you mean move to trash? Messing with the contents of the iPhoto LIbrary package using the Finder is tantamount to committing the cardinal sin of iPhoto.
    Open the iPhoto Library package like this. and look inside the Originals folder and its subfolders to see if the full sized image files are still there. If so you'll be able to create a new library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
    If there are no full sized files inside the Originals folder and you don't know where they are on the hard drive, i.e. you deleted them via the Finder, you'll need to use a file recovery program like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage to recover those image files.
    Please expand on exactly what you did using the search.

  • Sine the upgrade my Apple TV runs twice as slow when playing movies off my computer? What gives?

    Just as I said in my heading. Since I got the upgrade my Apple TV has been running slower..much slower. When I try to play movies on my compoter. It is at least twioce as slow and takes trwice as long to play on my Apple TV. Can't figure it out...

    That typically indicates a network issue.  Power cycle the ATV and router.

  • When I move items to the trash I get asked for my password.

    When I try to move any item into the trash I a screen pops up and says that the finder needs my password in order to complete this action. So once I enter in my password the item gets deleted from the desktop or wherever but does not even show up in the trash. My computer has never done this before until recently and I find it annoying that I have to type in a password to move an item that doesnt even show up where I move it. Is there any way that I can fix or change this?

    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:
    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
    sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.

  • How can I move a picture in Premiere Elements 12 without having it leave a gap?

    I have 133 pictures in a project with audio tracks playing while the pictures are being displayed.  I want to move some of the pictures around.  In Pinnacle Studio, a product I am familiar with, which unfortunately is not available on an iMac,  I simply select a picture, drag it to where I want it, and presto - all done, no gaps, and the audio track (which I have locked) is not impacted.  In Premiere Elements 12, when I move a picture, it leaves a gap of a black display where the picture was instead of shifting everything over like I assume most people would want it to do. 
    To make matters worse, Premiere then inserts a gap in the audio track at the location where I moved my picture.  Apparently the software thinks I don't want the music to play over my picture at its new location.  Then, when I try to select the blank area where my picture used to be and do "delete and close gap" it doesn't get rid of the entire gap. 
    I solved part of the problem by deleting the audio file, which I don't think I should have to do, but that's a function lacking in Premiere, not allowing me to lock the audio track.  So now the "delete and close gap" will work with the audio gone, but is there a way to simply move a picture from one location to another and just adjust all the other pictures so as not to leave a gap? 
    Am I the only one who thinks that not leaving a gap should be the default?  Why leave a gap just moving a picture from one location to another?  If the intent was to add another picture later, you just slip it in place.  I don't get it.
    Thanks for any help anyone has.

    Have you looked at Delete and Close Gap as well as Delete for what you describe?
    Nonetheless, adding or moving clips to an existing Timeline content without disturbing the existing Timeline content can be challenging and complex under certain scenarios.
    Typical solutions include making these moves with a keyboard modified held down (Windows Alt or Ctr). I am strictly an Elements Windows user, so we will need to find the Mac counterparts for the Windows keyboard modifier techniques.
    Also, if one move triggers a multi-chain disaster, then you should consider grouping block of clips so that they do not move while you are busy with your Timeline maneuvers. Check out the Clip Menu options for Group and Ungroup.
    Some times in the "Mac condition", you need to use fn in addition to the command to achieve some of these Windows counterparts.
    The following video tutorial on arranging clips and keyboard modifiers is being posted for informational non promotional reasons.
    Premiere Elements: Arranging clips on the Timeline using modifier keys | lynda.com - YouTube
    It is demo'd with Premiere Elements 8, but the principles are the same for later versions of the program.
    Here is one variation of the issue on Windows.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: Delete and Close Gap Failures
    You should not have to delete audio to prevent it from being split by an addition to an existing Timeline. The keyboard modifiers should help you resolve this type of issue.
    Please review and consider.
    Thanks.

  • I got a bead stuck in the disc player in my MacBook Pro, I can hear the head when I move the laptop, how do I remove it?

    I got a head stuck in the disc player of my MacBook Pro, I can hear the bead inside the disc player when I move the laptop, how do I get it out?

    Rather than burn directly to disk follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • I have Lightroom 4 and my hard drive is getting too full wiht pictures i have in lightroom. I want to move many to a thumbdrive and delete them from lightroom. what are the steps to perform this please ?

    I have Lightroom 4 and my hard drive is getting too full wiht pictures i have in lightroom. I want to move many to a thumbdrive and delete them from lightroom. what are the steps to perform this please ?

    If you want to be able to view, edit and export from Lightroom you can move the files using your computer OS (explorer or finder) and update the folder location by right-clicking on the folder name in the LR Library. See fig 8 at the attached link:
    http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm
    This will work when the thumb drive is connected.
    If you really have no need to keep these files off-line in LR then simply move the files, select all the thumbnails in the LR Library and hit delete. Then choose remove.
