In addition, links between your catalog and your photos may break. You can move catalogs and photos, put photos in multiple catalogs, and combine or merge catalogs, but doing so can be confusing. It's wise to approach your work in Lightroom Classic with some forethought. You can always return to the original, unedited photo. In this way, editing in Lightroom Classic is nondestructive.

Lightroom Classic never changes the actual photos captured by your camera. When you're ready to share the photo outside Lightroom Classic - upload it to Facebook, print it, or create a slideshow, for example - Lightroom Classic applies your metadata changes, which are like photo-developing instructions, to a copy of the photo so that everyone can see them. Then, any work you perform on the photo - such as adding keywords or removing red eye - is stored in the photo's record in the catalog as additional metadata. When you import photos into Lightroom Classic, you create a link between the photo itself and the record of the photo in the catalog.
