Changing folder names in Lightroom
I do a lot of organizing into folders in Lightroom because I sometimes need to view images outside of Lightroom so having a nice hierachy is an advantage.
If you want to do the same but are wondering how here’s how to change foldernames and add folders and subfolders in Lightroom:
First make sure you’r in the Library, hit G if unsure.
Click on the Folders panel. Now select a directory where you want to add a subfolder and click the little + icon and from the popup menu select “add subfolder”
Changing folder names in Lightroom is done by context clicking on the folder name and selectin rename.
To change the name of a photo just hit F2 and you get a little dialog where you can change the name.
BTW NEVER change folder and file names outside of lightroom, if you do then Lightroom can’t find them anymore, big nono.
