I keep getting this error when moving photographs resizing cut & paste etc, frequently told I don't have permission to change things on my Mac with the latest software Mac OS Catalina version 10.15.6 with all updates.

Hello and welcome.

-Which exact model Mac?
-Are you signed into iCloud, and are you using iCloud Drive to store your Desktop & Documents folders?
-Where are the photos from and where are they stored on your Mac?
-Which application and version are you using to edit the photos?
