How do you remove photos from an album?

Hello,
I can't believe I'm having to ask how to do this in a forum, but I can't work out how to do it so have to:
How can I remove some images (a number of them just in case it's different from just one) from an album?
I've tried selecting a number of images then looking uner all the menu options (none that'll do what I want that I can see), control clicking to see the options (none that'll do what I want that I can see), dragging images over into the trash (just creates a new album with the dragged images), pressing delete (nothing), pressing delete while apple key pressed (nothing).
And also, how c-r-a-p is it that I have to write into a forum to find out the answer to such a simple question?! Quite humilaiating but in fact it should be seen as a flaw in the app as I have tried all reasonable things to delete some sodding images from an album.
Any ideas how to do such an obviously tricky thing would be very much apprecaited.
TIA, John
edit: the album I'm trying to remove images from is a dark blue one with a circle, not a light blue one -- that seems to make a difference. I can remove from light blue ones. I made the album I'm trying to remove from by using "New Smart Album" and choosing before today's date to get all the images in iPhoto into a new album from which I can selectively remove from -- although I can't remove from -- that's what this question is aboute.
Thanks.

It's a challenge to imagine what you consider to be "reasonable".
No need to imagine: the things I tried and consider reasonable to delete some images from an album were listed above what you quoted.
The concept of "smart albums" would seem, by definition, to exclude the manual addition of images to (or deletion from) such an album.
Not necessarily but if that's what the situation is OK. Not necessarily because the "smartness" may only take place when the album is created, or on a continual basis. So it's on a continual basis I guess that the smartness takes place. Then it isn't a smart album I want to be using in the first place. I'm trying to simply start off with all images in iPhoto and remove/pick away until I've got the ones I want. Using the smart album at the time seemed like the only quick way to get a new album containing all the images in iPhoto. I tried dragging all the images into a new album before using the smart album to make the new album and it started to take ages so I looked for a quicker way to duplicate all of iPhotos images into a new album.
So my question is now: what's the quickest way to make a new album of all the images in iPhoto?
thanks.

  • How do you delete photos from the albums on 4S?

    How do you delete photo's and why is there the camera roll and Iphone roll? most ae duplicates?

    Photos synced to iphone have never had a trash can.  You delete them the same way you put them there - the sync process.
    If you do not want something on the iphone, then go to the phtos tab, deselect it and sync.
    Photo Album is not a duplicate.  It is simply another place from which to access the same pics as you have in your synced albums.  This is how iphone handles photos - always has.
    All photos synced to iphone can be accessed from Photo Library.  Those very same photos can alos be accessed from your individual photo albums.

  • How can I remove photos from an album on my iPhone?

    Hey
    I am trying to remove photos on my iphone from an album from but when I remove the photos from the camera roll album they got removed in all the others albums so is htere any way to remove the pics from an album only and not from all the albums?
    Thanks

    No. Albums you create on your phone merely contain pointers to the actual photos in your camera roll, not copies of the photos. If you just want the photos in albums, import the photos from your camera roll, delete them from your camera roll, then sync the albums back to your phone.

  • How do you move photos from one album to another?

    I imported a few photos from my iphone 4 into my new ipad using Bump. The ipad put these photos into an album. I'd like to be able to organize some of these into different albums and also name the albums. I don't want to sync all my photos from my phone...there are way too many so I kept sync photos unchecked in itunes. Is there a way to do this on the ipad itself without any outside help?
    Thank you

    There is no way to do what you are asking. 
    Organizing photos takes place on your computer, not the iPad.

  • HT4236 How do you remove photos from iPhone 5 "Photo Library"

    I have moved all my photos to my computer but can get them off my phone...

    You can manually delete them by going into the library on the phone, selecting "edit" and tapping on each photo you want to delete, then selecting "delete" on the bottom right.
    iPhoto allows you to delete all pictures on the iphone after import.
    Hope this helps!

    Hi captoz379,
    In order to delete music videos from an iPhone. Simply access the "Videos" application and swipe from right to left on the video that you are attempting to delete. The red 'delete' button should appear. Once it does, tap it to delete the selected video.

    Have you used the built-in migration plug-in? I'm not sure how LR handles iPhoto albums or events. there have been several reports indicating varying levels of success or otherwise, with import.

    Individual photos cannot be deleted from your Photo Stream. You can, however, delete all the photos in your Photo Stream by clicking the Reset Photo Stream button in your account at icloud.com. The Reset Photo Stream button will instantly delete all Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud, but it will not remove any Photo Stream photos that have already been pushed to your devices."

  • How do you save photos from import or Photo Stream to an album?

    How do you save photos from import or photo stream to an album?  I have a MacBook Air (which keeps telling me my start-up disk is full) and I am trying to organize photos so there aren't duplicates and triples.  I have photos in events, last import, photos and albums....I feel like they are all taking up space.  If I move a photo from photo stream to an album, then delete the photo from photo steam its deleted from the album.  That doesn't make sense to me.  There should be a way to clean up photo stream, and events, and last import by putting photos into albums.  Even more bizarre; I imported photos from my 4S, and only a fraction of them transferred over. 
    I am completely lost.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

    and I am trying to organize photos so there aren't duplicates and triples.  I have photos in events, last import, photos and albums....I feel like they are all taking up space.
    Sarah,
    Only the photos you are seeing in the events and the Photo Stream will take up space. iPhoto stores each photo only one. After you import it, it will be assigned to one event.
    Then you can use it in many albums and projects. Using the photo this way will only reference the one single copy of the photo in the event. The albums don't store the photos and do not require additional space. If you delete a photo from an event, it will be removed from all albums that have been using the this photos.
    What you are seing are not actually duplicate photos but different ways to access the same photos.
    The "Last event" is the same event as the last one you imported. It is there for a quick access to your recently imported photos.  Photos is a quick access to all photos in your library as an endless stream of photos. These are also no duplicates.
    So if you want to save space and delete photos, do that by browsing your events. Deleting a photo from an event will delete the original image file and remove the photo from all albums, books, and other products. You have only duplicate photos, if you are seing the same photo twice in an event.
    Even more bizarre; I imported photos from my 4S, and only a fraction of them transferred over.
    That is a different problem, but it may be related to to fact that you need to free space.
    If you get a warning, that the system needs space, don't do anything but update the backup of your mac and move files to an external disk to free space.
    It is not save to keep working, when the system is running out of space.
    How much free space do you have? Anything below 15GB free space is really critical.

  • How do I merge photos from one album to another on my iPad

    How do I merge photos from one album to another.  How do I delete, remove albums.

    If they are albums that you've synced from your computer then they are removed by re-connecting to your computer's iTunes, de-selecting them on the Photos tab, and re-syncing - albums and photos that you've synced can't be deleted (and albums can't be merged) directly on the iPad.
    If they are albums that you've created directly on the iPad then you should be able to delete them on the iPad via the Edit button at the top left of the album selection screen. You can also copy more photos into (via the Edit button when within an album), and delete photos from, those albums.

    How do you remove photos that are synced to your phone

    Hi amandafromcroydon,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To remove synced photos, you sync again without those photos selected for sync.
    iTunes: Syncing photos
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • HT4847 How do i remove photos from i cloud without losing them all together.

    How do i remove photos from i cloud without losing them all togther.

    I'm assuming you mean photo stream, since photos are not stored in icloud except for backups IF photos are set to be included in backups - and you can't remove photos from a backup after the fact.
    Photo stream is a conduit for copying photos from one device to another - it is not designed to store photos long term (photo steam only keeps the photos for 30 days and only up to 1000 of them).
    When photos are downloaded to a computer (always sync photos from an iOS device to a computer for archiving one way or another, photo stream is one such way), you should always move photos from the photo stream folder/album to a permanent location.  Once moved, you can then delete them from the stream.
