Every thing works fine up to the point where I export the edited photos to the corrected folder in the folder they came out of. None of the photos are corrected they are the same as before corrected?????
What file type are you exporting as ? (jpeg tiff dng) and what are you using to look at the files. Are you trying to correct photos and then save them ? This is not how LR works. You correct / develop the images and the just export jpeg / tiff etc.. versions when you require them. The changes are not made permanently to the files they are stored as a set of instructions in the catalog / sidecar or file header depending on file types and the LR settings.
