# Standalone Image Editor

You can choose to open one or multiple images in a Luminar Neo session and make basic or creative edits to them. Any edits made to these images will automatically be stored in your Luminar Neo Catalog.

There are several ways to open images for editing in Luminar Neo:

* You can **add folders**, leaving your photos exactly where they are on your hard drive.
* You can **import images** from a memory card or external drive, moving or copying them to a new location.
* You can **open individual images** from any location, which allows you to easily edit and export photos that you don’t want to keep in your **Luminar Catalog**.
