Saving images to 'Pictures' rather than 'Documents'

When I save images either scanned from Negatives or from a memory card when I go to save them unless I do them singly and they are in a folder they automatically get sent by default to Documents. What is the procedure to get them to be sent to 'Pictures'. I know there is one but I cannot find how to change it on Windows 11 or with photoshop
 
If you’re using a Mac with the Image Capture app the choice of where to save is at the lower left when you open it. Otherwise I don’t know.
 
Macs don't need to be expensive, and they last a long time. I bought my current 2018 Mac Mini when it was 6 years old for about £300, and I expect it to last much longer. I sometimes use my 2010 Mac Mini for Photoshop CS6 and other old software. And I kept the same 16-years old monitor screen and keyboard, so that saves a lot as well.
 
No I don't thinks so, it diverts the images to the cloud system and non of my images are ever going there. Basically I don't trust Microsoft when they say they cannot access them or even just shut it down without warning. No-way Hosea

Which program are you in when you go to save them?
 
I will be using PS. My usual way is to insert the SD card and open it up in PS and work from there. I believe there may be a way by changing 'preferences' Do you know anything about that? I have looked and cannot find 'preferences' in Windows 11

In Photoshop when you choose to export them using the Export dialog, when you press the Export button, you choose a location. The location you choose is persitant until you choose a different one

I have never seen a page like that one. It is completely new to me. Is it part of the Lightroom section, then if so that is the reason I don't use Lightroom
