How do you import pictures to an album in Photos?

Hi,
I've just started using the new photos application after migrating from iPhoto and now I can't seem to import pictures to an album? How do you do this?
It seems photos has imported everything from an SD Card and my iPad and lumped it all into one "Moment".
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Great thanks for your suggestions! I'll have a play around and see if I can make it work
I have the same problem. It's lumped around 1,000 pictures into one moment which spans 3 countries and 2 weeks of travel. It's also merged photos I had on my iPad which are the same but a different resolution, so now I have duplicates but no easy way to determine which is the lessor quality.
I'm pretty disappointed with the removal of functions with the new app May need to go looking for a replacement I think, unless Apple can demonstrate an interest in improving the experience.

How do you move pictures from one album to another

how do you move pictures from one album to another?

Pictures can appear in any number of albums.
To move from one album to another, add the picture to the new album and then right click on the picture, select Remove from album and then select the album you want to remove it from.
If you need further help, please let us know which version of Photoshop Elements you are using and which operating system you are running on.

How do you import media and metadata from Windows Photo Gallery database?

How do you import videos and photos and their metadata from a Windows Photo Gallery database into the Elements Organizer, especially metadata that is only contained in the Photo Gallery database file (pictures.pd6) and not embedded in the video and photo media files themselves?
And when you import the metadata into Organizer, do you get all of these available elements?

Also, if the media files in Organizer are ever moved to another PC, is there a way to migrate all of the Organizer's metadata with the files to use with another instance of Premiere Elements?

OK. I think we're getting close to the answer.
The reason I'm asking about this is because for Photo Gallery, media files can NEVER be moved without losing all database metadata. I'm sorry I didn't know this when I started with Photo Gallery and I think I've learned an important lesson: Be sure you can move your work BEFORE you start.
So, to clarify Organizer's behavior, let me ask the question another way. Let's say that in a few years, after I've added tags, people, places, etc. to hundreds of media files in Organizer, I decide to get a new PC. When I move all that stuff to my new petabyte drive on the new PC, do we know if Premiere Elements Organizer on the new PC would be able to read the original Organizer's metadata?

How can you import pictures from the iphoto app to your mac book pro into iphoto on a mac book pro using mavericks?

I've tried to look this up on the app, and it tells me to use the iTunes file sharing and I can see anything with this trying to use both. I'm trying to keep my pictures in chronological order. Does in know how I can use this? Any help I would greatly appreciate. Thank you!

OK. This is two separate issues. To import pictures on your iPhone into your MBP, you can use iPhoto or the Image Capture app (in the Applications folder).
To use iPhoto, connect your iPhone to your Mac with its USB cable & launch iPhoto. Your iPhone will be listed it in the "Devices" panel on the left. Choose it & you will get a window where you can import all or selected photos as either "split events" or as a single event. If you need help with this, try opening iPhoto's built-in help & selecting the "Import Photos" item. That will open the Import photos from iPhone or other mobile phone help topic. Expand the Import photos from iPhone section & study it. It should answer all your questions about this better than I can!
To use the Image Capture app, you connect the iPhone & select it just like above. The app has several options for importing images, but what you may find useful if you do not want to import directly into iPhoto is that you can just drag any of the iPhone's displayed items onto the desktop or into a folder like you would any other file & they will be copied to that location.
As for organization of items in iPhoto, there are four ways they can be grouped for display (by event, by photo, by face, & by place). All except by faces offers a "By date" sort choice in the iPhoto View > Sort Photos menu item.

How do you import pictures from an iPhone to a Mac?

I know you can import using iPhoto but I do not care for the applications one file approach. Meaning, importing via iPhoto just adds them to the overall library file, not individually where they can be easily moved around.
Typically, when I only had a PC, I just connected my iPhone and copied them straight from the device.
On the same note, is there a way to expand the iPhoto library to more than just one file? I would prefer no file at all, just a collection of individual pictures in my pictures folder. I know there is a way to keep your existing files in tact but it seems to double up on the HD space since iPhoto still wants it's own copy.
If I am not understanding the way iPhoto works or can be manipulated, please let me know. I am new to the application and Macs in general. I am coming from a PC mind set and still use them consistantly, moving files between computers on our home network.

Ah, I did not know about that application. Like I said, I am new to Macs. That's basically what I am looking for.
Am I correct that there is no way to have iPhoto maintain individual files when importing?

How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

Photos that were synced from a computer won't show for copying to a computer. If you want to copy them back then you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer (e.g. their dimensions might be different and their colours may look a bit different).

How do you take pictures from one library and put in another library??

How do you take pictures from one library and put in another library??

Options:
1. Export from iPhoto A to the Finder, then import to iPhoto B
This gets the photo over, but no versions, no edit history and not all the metadata
2. Use iPhoto Library Manager
This gets everything: versions, edit history and all the metadata.

How do you move pictures from one catalog to another?

How do you move pictures from one catalog to another? I have just got the program and have moved pictures into the default catalog. I have now created several new catalogs and want to move pics from the default into the new catalogs. I don't see this answer in the general help or my "dummies" book.

It's not a good idea to create multiple catalogs. For one thing, this defeats the purpose of the Organizer as a way to search for and find your photos; the search can only operate within a single catalog. Also, there are no functions in PSE that work across multiple catalogs. And even though you can "manually" combine the catalogs if you so desire, you lose information such as collection/album membership, stacks, version sets, creations and a few other things.

How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto?

How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto? I have a few different pictures in each library and would like to have all my pictures in both libraries. The library on the external drive is my backup. I would appreciate any help.

Depends on exactly what you want to do.
Just move some of the Photos? FIle -> Export from one and export the shots to the Finder. Then import them to the other.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Move the photos and all versions and metadata: use iPhoto Library Manager it's the only way to do this while preserving everything. Merge two Libraries into one?
If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

How do i rotate pictures in ipad albums?

How do I rotate pictures in ipad albums? The icon they show in the user instructions does not appear on my ipad.

You need a third party app to rotate the photos. The ability to do that directly within in the photos app does not exist in iOS 4. It is supposed to be one of the new features of the iOS 5 coming sometime soon.
You and download a free photo editing app called PhotoPad by ZAGG in the app store. You can use this app to rotate, crop, etc and then resave the photos after you change them.
