First, please recognise that I am no techie !! Until recently I used Windows 7 and Photo Gallery to manage etc my photographs. Now using Windows 10 (version 1903) and the Photos App. For 10 years or more, I have used a folder in Pictures on the PC hard drive called "Our Digital Pictures" in which I keep all images in sub-folders with names I understand; for example "Scotland Holiday April 2018", and which I access from a shortcut on the desktop …. very much still a Windows 7 person !
Now, when I add a USB Card Reader with my SD Card in, the Photos App. opens and I import the images on the SD Card to Photos, and they appear in Photos under a heading, generated by Photos, such as September 2019 07/09 8 photos. In my mind, so far so good. I then select all the new images that I have just imported and right click on one of them, choose "copy", open the "Our Digital Pictures" shortcut, open a new folder and name it, for example, "Norfolk Holiday August 2019", go into this new empty folder and right click and choose "paste". As before, all the new images appear exactly where I want them; again no problem. However, if I, whilst working on these images (editing, cropping etc) I find some (usually quite a few !) that are not worth keeping, I individually delete them. This also results in the original image in the Photo App. being deleted.
Basically, I have a problem, I think, with my understanding of file management ? And, what with my poor memory, I expect the same happened under Windows 7 and Photo Gallery; but I did not notice it. In my mind, as I used "copy" and "paste" to get the images into my folder "Our Digital Pictures", and not "cut" and "paste", I automatically think that there are now two copies of each image on my PC. I have to accept, however, that when I delete one image in "Our Digital Pictures" and it is immediately deleted from the Photos App, that I am totally wrong !
Can anybody help me to understand what is happening when, after importing images to the Photos App, I "copy" and "paste" those images to my "Our Digital Pictures" folder ? Is it a fact that by me carrying out the above described procedure, there is still only one image of each photograph on my PC ? Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you, Dave.
