Hi all, I’m using Lightroom for the first time to edit my photos and have a potentially silly question. I figured out you need to “export” the edited file to save (though open to other ways). My concern now is deleting the ones still sitting in Lightroom. I want to clear out what’s sitting there and bring in new files to edit. The warning that comes up when hitting delete worries me. Is that the right way to get rid of the record in the app or is there another way? Thanks!

Lightroom auto saves all edits. No need to “export” to save a file. Think of Lightroom first as an image sorting and storage catalogue and then second as a precursor editing software. Deleting the files from the catalogue only removes them from the Lightroom directory but keeps the stored image wherever you chose to save it. The other form of deleting that removes it, is a permanent deletion of that image and all its edits in its save location.

The best way to think of Lightroom is a app/programme that catalogues your photo files and allows you to do basic edits. So your files are never saved directly in Lightroom. What Lightroom is doing is referencing your photo (wherever it’s saved) and doing the edits on top.

With all that said, removing out of Lightroom doesn’t automatically delete the original file (although it will if you select the “delete from disk” option).
