Creating a new photo album in PHOTOS

how do i create another photo album in photos? the one that i have right now say PHOTO LIBRARY. that is the one in sync with i-tunes. how do i make another album to organize my photos because hundreds of my photos are all in one folder.

You're welcome.
I have a Mac and use Apple's iPhoto application to import, store, organize and view all digital photos with a layout and organizational structure similar to that used by iTunes. I create and make use of albums with iPhoto to sort photos by category and have access to all photos in each album or not associated with an album by selecting the main iPhoto library. The similar with iTunes is the entire music library and the ability to create and utilize music playlists. All iPhoto albums are made availble to select individually under the photos tab for my iPhone sync preferences or I can transfer all photos imported into iPhoto over the last 12 months or the most recent import only or my entire library of photos.
Long story short, a Mac with iPhoto makes this process extremely easy but to answer your question, you need to create the additional folders or albums inside of this existing folder which contains all photos being transferred to your iPhone.

How do you create new faces album in photos OS X?

How do you create new faces album in photos OS X?

Right-click on any IMAGE anywhere, then follow the Get Info instructions.
You can also do it on the Faces screen. At the bottom of that screen you should see a Suggested Faces bar. Double-click on one of the unnamed faces and add the person's name. If it's a new face, it will be added to face circles collection.

Any ideas please. I am using Yosemite 10.1.1
Many thanks Jaz Eilles

Sounds like you have a folder with an album named fred inside of it. Folders can only hold other folders, albums, slideshows, etc. but not just photos. So you must be sure to drop the photo directly onto the album titled fred that resides inside that folder otherwise it will create a new album.
So expand the folder so the fred album is visible and drop the new photo onto the album.

All photos Album Versus Photos

I've been reading all the descriptions about the difference between the "Photos" library as we were familiar with in iPhoto and the "All Photos" album that Photos has and I think I understand even if I disagree with the logic. I have a different problem. I took about 35 pictures with my DSLR today and inserted the SD card into my iMac and since I am still using iPhoto, I imported the pictures into iPhoto first and then opened Photos to import them. I went to the Photos library (at the top of the sidebar menu) and the pictures weren't there. I looked in the "All Photos" album and they were there. I also had several scans that I dragged into Photos and they appeared in both Photos and the All Photos album. When I checked the number of items in both the photos and all photos they matched but I looked through Photos and couldn't find the new pictures. They seem to be somehow hidden. What am I missing?

The FAVOURITES and PANOS albums also sort by date and time too. So all the albums sort by time and day except the ALL PHOTOS album! Seems very strange! What's even odder is that the date range listed at the top of the ALL PHOTOS album would suggest that they are sorted by date!
Apple I hope you SORT this out soon

Why are all jpeg files are being called Photo Album 6 Photo files?

I own a DELL Inspiron 6000 laptop. It was pre-loaded with free trial software. One program was Corel Photo Album 6. I don't use the program and have uninstalled it. Mozilla always names JPEGs "Photo Album 6 Photo" as the file type. It doesn't seem to alter the functionality, but it drives me crazy that I can't fix it. Under Tools>Options>Applications>Content Type it reads "Photo Album 6 Photo (image/jpeg). There is no other "jpeg" listing. Please advise.

You can delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset all file actions.

How to create NEW photo albums in Photo tab

I managed to sync 56 pics from a folder on my PC and then when trying to upload another file with 60 pics the process will overwrite the previous 56 pics.
Any help for how to pre-create a new album to avoid this problem?
Thanks to the forum

Thank you, red! This sounds like it should work. I'm assuming that it doesn't matter where I put that folder as long as I check it in iTunes for syncing. I do have a few questions:
1) Where do I find the camera roll folder on my computer? I've never been able to find it, the one time I copyied some pictures from the phone to the computer I just went in to the phone as an external drive through My Computer. Do I have to do that or are they in my iTunes folder somewhere?
2) Once I do this, will the pictures be on the phone twice, as in once in the camera roll and once in the folders, or will they just be in the folders? If the pictures are on the phone twice, can I delete them from the camera roll and still have them remain in their new folders?
3) Will new pictures and videos that I take still go to the camera roll?
4) Will the resolution still be the same once transferred from the phone to the computer, put in the sub-folders, then synced back to the phone?
While this is a work around, am I the only one who thinks this is really stupid? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this phone for everything that it can do, but something as simple as creating folders on the phone shouldn't be this complicated! Just looking in the Photos app, there is space under the camera roll like it was intended for there to be more folders in there. I wonder if we are eventually going to get an iPhoto app like the iMovies app we got when the phone was released. Now that would be great! Anyway, thanks for the info. I'll have to do this when I get home!

When syncing my iphone it loaded photos from my PC onto my phone and created another photo album called Photo Library and I cant delete them

When I synced my iphone4 it downloaded some photos from my PC onto my phone and created a new album called Photo Library. I cannot delete these photos on my phone. I have tried another sync and made sure that the photo sync box was not ticked. It asked me if I wanted to delete previously downloaded photos off my phone and I said yes but it did not delete them.

I may have misread your post. If you are trying to remove the photos synced from your computer you should be able to do this by unchecking Sync Photos on the Photos tab and syncing. If you did this and the photos are still there then something failed. You might try rechecking Sync Photos, syncing, then uncheck Sync Photos and syncing again to see if it works this time.

Why can't I create a new version of a photo edited in an external application, without Aperture making a new copy of the newly created Tiff?

When Aperture creates a new version from a RAW file, no new master file is created. This makes total sense and I understand why.
When I edit a photo in an external editor (Photoshop CS6) from within Aperture, Aperture creates a Tiff file to edit in Photoshop and saves it along with the RAW original once I have finished editing it in Photoshop. I understand why this is necessary too. So far so good.
But if I then ask Aperture to create a new version from the newly created image edited via Photoshop, it creates another new Tiff. I can't see why this is necessary. Aperture should be able to apply further new Aperture edits to the newly created Tiff in the same way that it creates new versions from a RAW file without duplicating the master - by remembering any new 'recipe' changes applied to the Tiff. It only needs to remember the edits made as the Tiff already now exists.
Can I stop it creating repeat Tiff files each time I create a new version from the Photoshoped photos?
Thanks in anticipation.

Hello Kirby,
I clicked on the 'Show in Finder' and it revealed a new file called IMG_0961 (1) which goes with the original IMG_0961.CR2 and the edited new tiff created for Photoshop which was called IMG_0961.tiff
I noticed also that a separate version I had previously created using Canon's DPP stand alone software and titled by me IMG_0961 (DPP).TIF (same thing but from a different original) does not form a new master file when I create a new version of that one. I've tried this with a few images but when the original is edited in Photoshop via Aperture a second version of the Tiff is created for the 1st version of the image when I create a new version fo it.

HT201317 Photos, albums and photo stream

I have trouble grasping the differences between all of these : Album, Photo Stream, Copies for IPod, camera Roll, and photo library. Where can I find an explanation of what does what? Many photos seem to be there more than once and some can be deleted but not others....

From various sources (doing a google search)
You are having a photo stream folder in your Album because you have enable Photo Stream in iCloud. By default, after you make a picture it will of course be save in your camera roll folder, then because photo stream is enable in iCloud which is also active on your iPhone, your pictures will be send to the iCloud server, and iCloud have the responsibility to share those pictures with all your iDevices which are sharing the same iCloud account with your iPhone, iCloud will find that your iPhone is sharing that iCloud and so will share those new pictures in the iCloud with your iPhone to including other iDevices which sharing your iCloud account. Thus you will see that those pictures already present in your camera roll are appearing in the Photo stream folder.
You will not be able to delete those pictures, it will auto delete from the iCloud after a period of time.
If you do not want to see the photo stream there anymore, then just turn off Photo stream in iCloud and it will go away.
Photo library is the collection of all photos in iPhoto and an album is what you can create to store some of the photos in a library, like a folder stores files.

How do I create a new Gallery Album from my Ipad2?

I have an Ipad2. I am currently in a location where the Ipad2 is all I have available.
I have a number of photos to post that were taken on the ipad and need to create an album for them in my me.com gallery. I don't see a way to do that? I can easily send photos to an existing gallery. But don't see a way to create a new gallery.
Thanks for the help!
Dave

Allen,
Thanks, but I wanted to create an album within my gallery. Not a new gallery.
Sorry for the confusion.

Will photos, albums and photo stream remain after sync

I have created photo albums on iOs5 with selected pictures from photos I imported from my SD card while traveling. Will the photos, photo stream and albums remain intact on my iPad when I sync them to my iMac?

Looking for a Photo Album or Photo Management Software

Does anyone know of any good software that I could use like a photo album, something like iView Media (which I have) but maybe a little more visually appealing. I'm not looking for anything to host pics online; I just want something that lets me break down my pictures by year...and then sub-folders for each year so I can have all different subjects. I haven't been able to find anything no matter how much I've googled...THANKS!!

Medic2872P:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As TD mentioned you can use iPhoto in the alias mode but you take on some additional responsibilities. When you delete a photo from the iPhoto library you do not delete it from the HD. That must be done manually from the Finder. It can be pretty easy to do that before deleting from iPhoto by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting Show Original in the contextual menu. You'll be taken to the folder where the source file is located where you can delete it manually. Then delete it from iPhoto.
Secondly, you won't be able to add photos to existing source folder and have them imported into iPhoto automatically. So it's best to put each new import in their own folder and import that way. Also you should not rename or move a source file once it's been imported into iPhoto.
If you're interested in checking it out more thoroughly, read Tutorial No. 2.
If do decide on converting to an alias based library and want to preserve your keywords from the library, Tutorial #1 would be of help. You can follow #1 and then move the photos from the Originals sub folders into your other folders in the Pictures folder and replace the old files with the keyworded files. Next remove the old Library folder to the desktop, create a new library and set iPhoto's Advanced preferences to not copy file when importing. Then import your "source" folder into the new library and you're back in business.
But you should remember the caveats I've mentioned. If you're careful you can operate as you'd like.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

IWeb 09 major bug - losing site - believe it's photo albums and photo pages

I have repeatedly lost my site now 3 times since upgrading.
The problem appears to be when editing photo album pages with a few photo albums on them and then rearranging those albums and pages between sites.
I can't be more specific at this stage, as it's happening relatively randomly, but am curious if others have discovered similar problems.
FWIW I am recovering by using time machine and backups.

I too had major problems with iWeb '09. I was unable even to publish to a local folder without getting an error message "Unknown error" (really, really helpful). I published a site created and maintained by iWeb '08 four times to separate local folders within an hour, not changing the site at all during that period. Only about 90% of the contents were published. Typically what was missing was some photo albums and blogs, although not always the same photo albums.
After some careful poking about in my MobileMe-published site I noticed that some particular pages were not publishing to a local folder. Upon investigation I discovered that some of the photo albums, whilst appearing in the sidebar in iWeb '09, did not appear on the main albums page. It seems that, for whatever reason, iWeb '09 had lost the links to these. I deleted the pages from the sidebar and then turned my attention to Blogs. This was the other area where I noticed that publishing seemed to have a problem.
One of the problems seemed to be that there was a link to a, by now, 'lost' photo album. Editing the link and then re-publishing to a local folder at last cured the problem. I have yet to publish to MobileMe, but at last things are looking good in the 'test' phase.
It seems that, unless your iWeb '08-created site was relatively simple, some editing HAS to be done in iWeb '09 before publishing. I hope that this answers more questions than it poses!
