Photos are in Recent folder but not in Library folder.

I added a photo from a text to the Photos Library. It is only in the Recents folder. Same on the phone. I want to take my phone to one of them Kodak kiosks so I can make a print but I am not sure if it will show up or not since it is only in the Recents folder. I have downloaded many photos from texts and they always show up in the main library folder. So, how do I move the photo into the main photo library folder? Thanks.

Hi


If it is in the recents folder, then it is also in the library. However the library is sorted by capture date order, and if the capture date is not set (eg if you've imported the image from a scanner - or app that removes the date, or camera with the date set incorrectly) then it won't appear where you expect it to.


To check, right click on the photos in "recents" and then click "show in all photos". That will take you to where the image is in the library.
