Moving pix from Photos to a folder in Finder

Is there a simple way to move a selection of pictures from Photos to a self-created folder under Favourites in Finder in Mojave?

Hi,


Create a Finder folder on your desktop titled Favorites. In Photos, put the pictures you want to move into an album (or just use the Photos library) and select them as a group. Then do a File/Export and choose either to export the original photos or the photos as they now exist. Click Export. In the export box navigate to your desktop Favorites folder destination. Click on Export. The photos will will be exported to your Favorites folder on your desktop.


Another way is to drag the photos from the Photos app directly into your desktop folder.
