Creating Subfolders

As you work in your Luminar Library, you may want to create additional folders to get organized. You can

quickly create additional subfolders inside of any folder in your Luminar Library in two ways.

• Right-clicking on a folder and choose New Subfolder

• Selecting a folder in your Library panel and choose Library > New Subfolder from the main

application menu.

A new subfolder is created called Untitled, which you should rename. This subfolder is also created on

your hard drive within the master folder.

Also, you can drag folders from one level to another to create a nested folder. Just select any folder in the

library list. Drag a folder on top of another to nest it and convert it into a subfolder. The folder is relocated

both in your Luminar library and on your hard drive.

Renaming Folders

As you continue to organize images, you may want to rename a folder or subfolder. Perhaps it’s to identify

the status of the images (such as Selects) or to split up by date or location. Be sure to use care when

editing the names of folders.

• If you choose to rename a folder or subfolder from within Luminar, the name of the folder that it is

linked to on your hard drive will have its name changed.

• If you change the name of a folder while Luminar is running, your library will update to reflect the new

names.

Note:

If the Luminar application is closed and you rename or move a Master folder on your hard

drive, Luminar may become confused. This can break the link to your images and the folder

is no longer available (and will be grayed out). You should change the name of the Master

folder back to its original name so that Luminar will reconnect to the media files and

relaunch Luminar.
