[QUOTE="nickt, post: 285533, member: 4923"] You really should do all your deleting from Lightroom now. Or if you do it from windows, you need to resync the folders in Lightroom. So you can delete from Elements, it will remove from Lightroom, but not in a nice way. It might leave you with a thumbnail only. Remember, pictures are not in Lightroom or Elements, they are on your hard drive. Lightroom will show you folder structure and its real. Collections are basically tagging pictures from here and there and displaying them as a 'collection' in Lightroom. They don't move from where they are. I prefer named folders for special occasions. I use collections more for temporary stuff. You can also open up the folder where a picture is located by rt clicking and 'show in Explorer'. I do all my windows type moving of pictures from in Lightroom now. Deleting too. Its just easier to keep Lightroom in the loop. Another point on collections, a picture can be in multiple collections. Still only one picture, it is just noted in lightroom as a being part of a collection. You could have a picture of your kid and your dog at the lake. You can link that one picture to a 'kid' collection, a 'pet' collection and a 'lake' collection. For me, if it was a special occasion, I would put it in a named folder rather than a collection. I would also key word it as kid,dog,pet,lake. Then in the future you can quickly call up kid pictures or lake pictures or dog pictures or pet pictures. The tagging goes very quickly once you get used to it. Its very useful for finding things later on. You can tag in bulk. Most pictures, I just leave in the dated folder and key word them.
