Where Do Lightroom Imports Go?
Contents

Lightroom offers the option of storing your edited photos on your device (i.e., your digital or DSLR camera). When you import your photos into Lightroom, you have the option to save them on your device instead of saving them to the USB, hard drive, or Cloud drive.

Where are Lightroom imports saved?

The images that you have imported into Lightroom are located where you asked for them to be placed when you imported them into Lightroom. If you have chosen Copy as DNG, Copy or Move when importing images into Lightroom then those images will be stored on your disk in the folder that you asked for them to be placed in.

Where are my previously imported photos in Lightroom?

In the Library module, go specifically to the Folders panel, expand it, and look for the name of the folder that contains the image. Any image imported into Lightroom must be listed somewhere in the Folders panel. Those are the same folders that are on your desktop.
