How do I add an individual photo from a stack to an album?

I'm trying to add a photo from a stack to an album. However, even if I un-stack the photos in the parent folder & copy a single photo into the album when I then re-stack the original photos they all appear in the album too. Is there a way around this or do I just have to leave all my pictures un-stacked?
Thanks for any help you can give.

You can't include an item from a stack in an album. What you include in the album, is the link to the top level member of the stack. If you change the order of files in the stack, that is reflected in the album.
Best solution in my opinion : temporarily expand the stack, select the wanted item and export it somewhere. Then 'import' it in the organizer and put it in your album.

  • How can I add folders of photos from pc to ipad4

    I store photos from the internet in separate folders {depending on the subject} on my pc laptop. I want to move the folders to my ipad4 keeping in the same separate folders. Is it possible to do this, here's waht I have done so far
    we downloaded dropbox and then selected one of our  folders from the laptop and transfered that from dropbox to ipad dropbox. there  are now 400 photos in the ipad dropbox. In the ipad photos app, I've created 6  albums. How do I move the 400 pictures from dropbox on the ipad  into a specific  album. We tried moving just one photo from ipad dropbox into the photos app and  it created its on album called camera roll. how can I move the pictures into a  different album other than camera roll. This is just one of my folders I have a  total of about 5000 photos on my laptop that I want to move into different  albums. Do I need to buy a better app than the ipad one, this one *****. I want  to be able to move an entire folder instead of each individual photo as one  folder has 3000 pictures in it.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    This is where the process gets a little more involved with a few more steps.
    There is no way to place a camera roll photo into a folder that was synced from your computer. You have to import it to the computer, place it into the sub folder of your choice on the computer, then sync again with iTunes.
    There are several ways that you can import photos to your computer from the iPad. You can read about those here.
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your ...
    There are apps that allow you to send your photos to the computer via WiFi. If you are interested ....

    One last item ....this will probably not apply to the way that you manage your photos and folders, but just so that you know .... albums that are created directly on the iPad are really only shortcuts to the actual photos that are on the device. When you create folders on the iPad itself, it does not contain a copy of the photo - merely a shortcut to that photo that allows it to appear in that folder.

  • How do I add or delete photos from a SMART collection?

    In LR3 I recently created a Smart Collection from color flagged photos. Now I want to add a few, and delete a few. How?? The obvious method are not allowed with SMART Collections..... Thanks for any input -

    Hi,
    If you select ALL images that are in your Smart Selection that you wish to keep in a collection, then create a new 'Non-Smart' Collection, all the selected photographs are automatically added to your new Collection (well, they are in LR 3.3RC on Windows 7). You can then delete the 'Smart' collection, and add / delete photos to your new collection as you wish.

  • How do I edit and delete photos from my I Phone 4S album?

    I have synced my phone with I tunes and it pushed every single photo on my computer.  I do not wish to have the entire album on my phone, only select photos.  How do I delete photos?

    Thank you for the reply.  So, I guess I have to reset my phone in order to get rid of all the photos that I uploaded via the sync method on I tunes.  Pre planning is required for what photos you want to have uploaded. 

  • I have a contact sheet of photos how can I quickly import the individual photos from the 9 photo contact sheet without edit each one then having to reimport contact sheet

    I have a full contact sheet of 9 photos which I have imported. How do I take each individual photo and save it without having to edit from the contact sheet each time as this forces me to reimport the contact?

    You can't. If you have a sheet with 9 shots on it and you want to make 9 individual shots you'll need to either
    Import 9 times
    Or
    Duplicate 8 times
    And crop accordingly.

  • How do I remove individual photos from the ipad without changing the photo album in my lap top where the photo album is stored??

    You don't.
    To remove a photo from your iPad that is located in a photo album on your computer selected to be transferred to your iPad under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, the only way to remove the photo from your iPad is by removing if from the album on your computer followed by a sync.

  • How do I move individual photos from 1 event to another event in Iphoto 8

    I have moved from a PC to a mac and was using Picasa before. All my photos are stored on a seperate hard disc and I have imported them all into iphoto. I am trying to edit them and cannot seem to find a way to move an individual photo from one event to another. When you open an event is there any way of seeing the other events and dragging and dropping your photo that way?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    1 Use PHOTOS view and then select View > Event Titles
    (You can open and close Events by clicking on the wee triangle to the left of the title. option (or alt) - click will open and close all at one go.)
    2. You can now drag and drop pics between Events easily.

  • When creating a book how can I get all the photos from an album to show up in the order they were in the album?

    When creating a book in iphoto, how can I get all the photos from the album I want to use to show up in the order that they are in the album?  When I tried to use the option to add my own photos instead of having the program "flow" them, they showed up all mixed up.

    iPhoto puts them in the book in chronological order.  So to get your photos from an album into an iPhoto book in the same order you will need to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and set them all to the same date with a 1 minute time difference between each.

  • How do I move all the photos from the i-photo library on one account to the i-photo library on another account?

    I have recently bought a new mac mini running Lion, and yesterday I migrated an account off an older machine running Tiger.
    I want to delete the older account from this machine as it is causing some problems with i-cloud, but I want to transfer the photos first and add them to a different account on the new computer.
    So my question is How do I move all the photos from the i-photo library on one account to the i-photo library on another account?

    Copy the iPhoto library from the old Mac to the Desktop of the new one.  Then download the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager, which is now compatible with Mt. Lion, and use it to merge the two libraries into a new, third library.  This will preserve the two libraries in case the merged library isn't to your liking. 
    Here are screenshots of iPLM's coping and merging preferences:
    When you're satisfied that the new, merged libraray is complete and working OK you can delete the two earlier libraries.

  • How do I create a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

    How do I creat a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

    I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX.  It's kinda hidden in the "share."  Go File/Share/Add Destination.  You want "Save Current Frame."  After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

  • How can i add text to photo in iphoto?

    How can I add text to photo in iphoto without having lion or mtn lion?

    You can't add text to a Photo in iPhoto. You need an external editor for that:
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • How do i get my Nikon photos from viewNX 2 into the iPhoto library?

    1. How do I get my Nikon photos from ViewNX 2 into the iPhoto Library?
    2.I tried by copying them and moving to the iphoto folder. Now the Iphoto applicationwon't open because it is locked. the help item says to open it with command option keys down to get the iphoto library First aid window. it does not come up.

    How did you add the photos to the iPhoto Library folder?  The way to import photos is to drag them onto the iPhoto icon in the Dock or into the open iPhoto window.  
    it does not come up.
    What does not come up?  What happens when you try to launch iPhoto with those two keys held down?
    Try the following again being sure to hold those keys down before launcing iPhoto and until the window opens:
    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I have an iPhone 3gs, operating on iOS 6.  For some reason, I'm unable to custom delete individual photos from my photo library....

    I have an iPhone 3gs, operating on iOS 6.  For some reason, I'm unable to custom delete individual photos from my photo library.  When I select the Edit button to do so, I'm only given the 2 options of "Share" and "Add To". My Camera Roll does everything the way I wish my Photo Library would.  Can anyone help?

    Only photos in the Camera Roll can be deleted.  The rest of the photos got there by synching to your computer.  You get them off the same way.

  • How do you add people to photo share album on iPad?

    How do you add people to photo share album on iPad?

    Are you trying to email to iPhone cell numbers?  If yes, you can't.  That would require SMS, but iPad is MMS only.  This means you would need to text from your iPad to someone's email address who has an iPhone.  Also, they have to be on iOS 5 or higher.
