Identifying which albums a photo is in

Is there a way to know which albums a photo has already been added to? For example - if I have one photo in my library in several albums, is there a way to get a list of which albums that photo is in?
Thanks,
Lori

Hi Lori,
Not an easy way, but there is a way.
Highlight each album, select all in the album, give a keyword for that album to all the images.
Do this for each album.
You have to keep the keywords short but descriptive for the album
Now when you view the images in the library you can see by what keyword is assigned what albums they are in.
This is also a good feedback to send to Apple for this feature. I have already sent feedback.

  • Elements 11 - can't see which albums a photo is linked to

    I have the same photo in multiple albums.  when I interrogate the photo it does not indicate which albums it is in.  Elements 9 did this.  what rick am I missing?  Tks - Darrell

    Photoshop Elements questions are best answered in the Photoshop Elements Forum here, but I do have a good working knowledge of Photoshop Elements as well as Premiere Elements. So, let me see if my answer here will help.
    Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 are standalone programs and each has an Elements Organizer. When they are both on the same computer, they possess the intergration perk of sharing the same catalog/database.
    Thumbnails that you see in the Elements Organizer 11 (with or without albums) trace back to the hard drive save location for the originals. Thumbnail information is stored in a database/catalog.
    When you decide to delete a thumbnail from the catalog, you also get the option to delete the original on the hard drive as well as the thumbnail in the Organizer (with or without albums).
    To answer your question
    If it is decided that the photo is not required in a particular album any longer, how can you decide with certainty whether the photo can be deleted from the catalogue and the drive?
    It depends on how you respond to the Confirm Deletion from Catalog dialog and that the program does not malfunction in some unexpected and unexplained way. Right now I am fighting a problem with the Photoshop Elements 11 Elements Organizer wherein it refuses to delete certain thumbnails and hits me with an "Unexpected Error has occurred" message. Still working out that matter.
    Are you referring to a situation where you have the same photo in several different albums and you delete the photo from just one of the albums? The message that you get at such a time states deletion from the catalog. I have found that in such a case, the thumbnail representing that photo is deleted from all the albums containing it since they all trace back to one hard drive saved original. If I do not select "Also delete selected item(s) from the hard disk", then I still have the original in its hard drive save location, and it can be reimported in the Elements Organizer at another time if needed.
    I am not sure that I picked up on the "...with certainty.." part of your question. So, please let me know if I have targeted your question.
    Thanks.

  • How can I identify which albums are associated with a specific picture.  I used to click on the picture and see the albums but don't know how to do it in 13?

    I keep pictures in Albums, specifically by year and then other topic albums. As a result some pictures are in several albums. Sometimes they are assigned in error.  I used to be able to click on a picture and see not only the tags but the albums associated with the picture.  How can I see which albums are assigned to a picture?

    Are you referring to the yellow text box that pops up like this?
    If it is those are called tooltips or anchor titles.  Cyclosaurus has posted script to block them: removing rollover html detail box: Apple Support Communities.

  • How to identify which albums I deleted by mistake

    Hello,
    I have ripped 2403 albums from my CD collection on my iTunes. Yesterday I tried to install another two but I entered some info wrong and deleted the two new entries.
    Unfortunately, I realized rightaway that my number of albums, which should have gone back to 2403, was now down to 2400. I have no idea what the 3 missing albums are; since I did not notice what happened during the deletion of my two new entries, they could be any of the other 2403.
    Is there a way to find out which albums I deleted by mistake? I am thinking, perhaps, of an index list that would tell me what the last operations or modifications were made in iTunes, or the like.
    Otherwise it is like trying to find three needles in a stack of 2403 other needles.
    Thank you. M.

    You can put everything into the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder, but there are occasional horror stories about those files going missing. You can also add the entire media folder, but occasionally that can create duplicate entries in the library, particularly if you have split the media folder to a separate location on a drive that isn't permanently connected to your computer.

  • How to identify which albums are missing from my iTunes

    I recently got a new PC with loads of storage so I have been copying mp3's onto it from various old backups and CD's that wouldn't fit on my old laptop.
    Is there an automated way of importing the albums that don't already exist in the iTunes library?  It would be a mess to import everything then weed out the dupes!

  • How to check which albums a photo is in

    You can check what playlists a song is in in iTunes - why not a similar application in iPhoto?

    'Why' questions are ones you need to ask Apple. They're  not here, only other users.

  • How to find out in which albums a library photo is represented

    Basically my problem is stated in the question, I'm trying to find out in which albums certain library/event photo's are represented. Since I'm moving from albums to events this would be a great help in naming the events.
    Thanks,
    Peter

    There is currently now way in iPhoto to do this.
    iPhoto Menu -> Povide iPhoto Feedback.

  • How do I see which albums a specific photo in Moments/Collections have been added to?

    How do I see which albums a specific photo in Moments/Collections have been added to?

    In addition, it seems like Photos distinguish between the way pictures is managed in 'Albums' vs. 'Shared albums'. It seems like, removing a picture in Moments/Collections will remove the picture in the corresponding Albums (which I think is great) but not removing the picture in 'Shared albums'. In other words, a duplicate picture seems to be created when adding a picture to a shared album (instead of a reference picture like for 'Albums'). Am I correct? This is very confusing.
    In that case, I assume I need to remove my original picture each time I add a picture to a 'Shared album' in order to avoid duplicates and reach some kind of "master" management of my pictures?

  • Finding out in which albums I put my photo

    Library getting bigger and bigger.
    To me it would be very useful sometimes to find out in which album a certain foto has been included, already. I tend to forget.
    Since there is a database concept behind iphoto this should be easy. But how? Any clue?
    Click a foto in the Library, press a key and there is a list of all Albums where the photo is included. Can even select an Album and press delete if I dont want the photo to be there anymore. Am I dreaming?
    Loris

    If you named your photos instead of just the default number from the camera you would be able to search for it.

  • Displaying which albums a particular photo is in

    I have about 8000 photos in my library. Some are duplicates. I want to eliminate the duplicates but I'm not sure which of the duplicates are already in one of my albums. I don't want to delete the one that is already in an album and I don't want to go hunting through all my albums to make sure which duplicate I can safely delete.
    I realize that my library is small comparatively, but going through 8K photos isn't exactly easy.
    Is there a way to display which albums a particular photo is in? In itunes, if you right click on a song in the library it has an option to "show in playlist" that lists the playlists that a song is in. Is there anything like that in iphoto?
    Thanks!!

    No there isn't.

  • I should have said in my previous message that the iphoto program I am using is for an ipad 2.  I simply want to know how to delete an edited album which contains one photo that I do not want taking up space.

    I should have said in my previous message that the iphoto program I am using is for an ipad 2.  I simply want to know how to delete an edited album which contains one photo that I do not want taking up space.

    OK....I'm stumped.  The message you are seeing is typically there to protect someone from syncing with a different computer/iTunes account.  Is there any way anyone else has used your iPad and possibly connected it to their computer?

  • Which album is my photo in?

    Hello all,
    Hopefully this is a simple question. When looking through the photo library, how do I tell which album, if any, a particular photo is currently in?
    Thanks for your help,
    Scott

    Hi, Scott. In iPhoto 4 (and, I presume, earlier versions), you have to open the albums and look for the picture in them. It's not very convenient, but there it is.
    Of course if you've constructed your albums so each one has some theme or subject, you probably won't have to look through many different albums to find all the ones in which a given picture appears.
    I don't know of any way to query iPhoto for a listing of the album(s) in which a specified photo is included.

  • Which albums is a photo in?

    In iPhoto, there is a Search box in the lower-right corner of the iPhoto window. That helps me search for a photo by name. If I have View -> Film Rolls enabled, then I can see what film roll the photo belongs to. That's great.
    However, it's not what I'm trying to accomplish.
    Does anybody know if there is a way to find out which iPhoto albums the photo has been put into?
    That is, if I add a photo to a number of albums, is there a way to find out which albums it belongs to?

    At this point there is no way. That would make a good feedback subject at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. The more hits the better.

  • HT3149 When I click on a photo, is there a way to see where else it is located, like in which albums it is in?

    When I click on a photo, is there a way to see where else it is located, like in which albums it is in?

    In iPhoto '11 you can show the event a photo is in or show the image file in the Finder:
    You can select a photo and click the triangle in the lower right corner. Then select "Show event".
    To show the image file in the Finder use the "File" menu in iPhoto: File > Reveal in Finder.
    But there is no direct way back to the albums. To find the photo in the albums you could use unique keywords for each album or flag the photo, then filter the abum you are interested in.

  • How to find out which album(s) a photo is in?

    Apart from the right-mouse click and then "remove from album ...".

    In organizer, go to 'View' menu and mark check the option 'Details'
    Now on the right bottom of the image there will be a album icon, hover your mouse on that icon and it will show you which album the image belongs to .
