How do i move photos from event to album?

I cannot figure out how to move photos in iphoto from events to a new album, and did not find any answer in iphoto help.  I have a lot of files that I'd like to drag and drop if it is possible to do that.  I am using iphoto 2010.  Also, is there a keyboard shortcut to highlight a photo and call up a list of albums or events to move it into?  I find the individual drag and drop process very sensitive and time consuming, would prefer to move as I do with folders if that is possible.

1. You can't move a photo from an Event to an Album.
Events are a view of the Library. Every photo is in the Library. Albums references the photos from the Library, so you can add a photo to an albums (actually as many as you like) but the photo remains in the Library.
2. Yes, you can drag a photo from a Event to the Album listed on the left hand pane.

    How can I move Photos from an existing specific even in IPhoto?  When I try to drag them they go into a newly created event and not my chosen existing one.

    Correct.
    Drag and Drop the newly created Event into/onto the Event you wish to add it to.
    You will be asked if you want to Merge Events.. click Yes.

    What version of iPhoto? And of Aperture?
    If you have Aperture 3.3 and iPhoto '11 version 9.3 or later you simply use the same library - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5260?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    Click on "Sync Photos from" and then select the folder where your pictures are located - usually on the Mac in iPhoto
    Click on the Albums, events and faces that you want to sync.

  • How do I move files from Event Library to Project Library?

    How do I move Files from Event Library to Project Library? I tried drop and drag, that didn't work. I am new to Apple. I have always had a windows box b4 this. If anyone can help, please do. Thanks

    welcome argardner to the  boards..
    you're missing the concept of iM .. you don't move 'files' from Event to Project Library.. Events is the big box of all your imported clips; now, from that box of bricks, you drag the clips into all kind of projects.. you can 're-use' the same clip again'n again in many projects.. you can use all clips of all Events in one Project.. or all clips of one Event in two projects.. or..
    spend some time here:

    the concept of Events & Projects, Clips and Libraries is at first glance very different to 'normal' editing apps, but you'll get convenient to it within minutes..

  • How do I move photos from one aperture library to another?

    How do I move photos from one library to another?
    Currently I Export to a new temporary library which I import to the other library but It feels kind of a hackish way to do it.
    Thanks

    That is the way it is set-up to be done (at least for Projects as Libraries).
    The only other option is to export master or version (depending on what you want) and then import to other library.

    You cannot put photos in a trailer. They are designed for videos.
    However, there is a way around this.
    Go to the Project Library view. Select your Trailer. Now, click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT.
    Now you can add photos.

  • How do I move photos from iPhoto to new PC or Mac?

    We are in the market for a new computer.  I want a Mac (of course!) but my husband and our budget are more comfortable with a PC.  My question is how do we move photos from our old Mac to a new comp?  Can it be done via a network?  I assume it is easier from Mac to Mac.  We do not have an external hard drive and our old comp is very outdated.  The version of iPhoto used is 6.0.6 and OS is OS X, 10.4.11.  We cannot do any further updating to either the application or OS.  We do have both an iPod and iPad but neither can even be synced with this current computer!  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

    For a PC select all photos in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder. Move that folder to the PC
    For a Mac copy the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the pictures folder of the new Mac
    The connection can be a network, a cable or even an external hard drive you move to the new system or a DVD if it will hold everything
