I get this question frequently, or more specifically, how to move photos from Previous Import or All Photographs, which are entries in the Catalog panel. Your photos actually never reside in the Catalog panel - they reside instead in folders, which are displayed in the Folders panel. Therefore it is not meaningful to "move photos from [...]

While Lightroom doesn't care what the catalog is named, I of course find it less confusing that the filename reflect what it actually is. In this short video tutorial, I'll show you how to safely rename your Lightroom catalog and the [...]
