Is there a way to move a photo from the gallery to a folder on my home screen?
Any help would be great.

You need to use a file manager (I'm using root explorer) to open the sd card > photos directory. Open the image you want then select menu and "create shortcut". This will put the image on your desktop/home screen. Note: The image on your home screen will be a generic thumbnail, and may not be the actual photo. However, when you open the image it will present the actual picture.

If you use another file manager app the method should be the same. Let me know if this helps.

Root explorer is a good option to do that. If your phone is not rooted you can try ES File Explorer. Great app as well.
