Moving Photos between Albums

When I drag a photo from Album 1 to Album 2, it copies the photo while leaving it in Album 1. Then I have to open Album 1 and delete the photo, so that it resides only in Album 2.
How can I move (not copy) a photo from Album 1 (delete it) to Album 2 ?

When I'm in an album and drag a photo to another album I'm still in the first album where I can then delete the photo when the drag is completed. Dragging a photo to another album in the Source pane does not put me in that second album. I have to click on the second album to get there. Not sure what you're experiencing. Here's what it looks like for me dragging from Album PDF to Profile test. I'll remain in the PDF album until I click on the other one.

  • My iPhoto stopped letting me move photos between albums.

    i used to be able to move the photos i uploaded to my iphoto between the different albums i have and now it wont let me. does anyone know why or how to fix it?

    What version of iPhoto do you have?
    as to moving photos between albums just open the source album and drag the photos to the destination album in the source pane on the left
    And you do not "upload" photos - you import them - typically an import does not create an album - it creates an event - how are you importing your photos?

  • How to transfer photos between albums?

    I am a new user, I loaded many old photos and want to move them into smaller albums,

    Albums are just lists of picture files. They are similar to a playlist for audio files, which means you can include a given picture file in as many albums as you want. So, you don't 'move' files between albums, you add or delete those picture files. Let's say you have a big album you want to 'split' into smaller ones. First create the destination albums. Select your big album. Highlight the files you want to transfer to the small album, and drag and drop them on that small album. That will copy the files (add them) to the small album. If you want to delete them from the big album (it's your choice), right click and choose 'delete from album' and specify which album you want to delete from. Remember that pictures can be included in different albums and that 'moving'  files between albums is a bad metaphor. You add, you delete, you don't move.

  • Moving photos in album

    I've run into a very annoying problem - when I try to rearrange a group of photos the last photo moves to the first position in the group. For example: I have 100 photos in album, (sorted by file name) I select a group of photos (45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50) and move them to the beginning of the series ( before photo number 1). The problematic result is a rearrangement of the moved group: 50, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49. I suspect a bug. Waiting for update or solution...

    The resulting order of those photos that you selected to move will be the same as the order in which they were selected. So if you select starting with 50 and go to 45 they will end up at the top beginning with 50 and descending to 45.
    If you select them randomly between 45 and 50 they will end up in the order you selected them.

    How do you move pictures between albums not juat copy?  Presently when moving  a photo a copy is left behind.

    You may be able to do it as follows:
    1 - assign a unique keyword to each of those files. Something like "AAAAAAAA" will stand out when you're looking for it.
    2 -set the view options to View keywords only.
    3 - set the sort option to sort by keyword.
    4 - now look for that unique keyword, select them all and create a new roll. To see the new roll you'll have to reset rolls to be viewed.
    If there are more than one keyword for those photos, the the first keyword assigned to that photo will determine where it falls in the listing of photos. So it's best if there are no keywords other than the unique one.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Moving Photos Between iPhoto Libraries

    I have established a second iPhoto library but an not clear on how to move photos from the original library to the second library. Seems it should be simple - from the original library I highlight the photos to be exported to the second library, then click "export", but the export to the second library doesn't happen. Also, while in the second library I tried to import the highlighted photos from the original library, but that didn't work either. I have iPhoto 6.0.6 Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    HDP

    HDP,
    You cannot export directly into another iPhoto Library folder, because all files must be imported in order to be recognized by the database. Don't ever try to manipulate your files directly inside the iPhoto Library folder. Importing photos from one library into another will get you the photos, but strip them of their albums and other library metadata.
    The only way to move photos between libraries and preserve albums, keywords, and other metadata is to use iPhoto Library Manager. It will save you a lot of work.
    Regards.

  • Unable to move photos between albums in search mode

    I am unable to move picture between albums when I have done a search for a title etc. eg. search for 'Leeds' brings up 20 pics one album and 15 in another, but the two albums are several years apart (possibly 100's of rolls!).
    Why am I unable to then drag the pics from one roll to another? Is this a known issue? Very annoying when dealing with various project over various years and the only way is to drag the pics all the way down, often getting lost!!
    Any advice?
    Thanks

  • C3-01 - Moving Photos Between Folders On SD Memory...

    I’m stumped on how to move photos between folders on the SD memory card in my new C3-01.
    When I take a photo, it saves it to the ‘Images’ folder on the SD card, but there doesn’t appear to be an easy way to get it from that folder onto one of my other folders.
    On my previous phone, I’d do the following –
    1 – Open the item
    2 – Go to ‘Options’
    3 – Scroll down to ‘Move’
    4 – When the list of available options was displayed, I’d highlight the ‘Memory card’, and press Options’ again to get an ‘Open folder’ option.
    5 – Select the ‘Open folder’ option.
    6 – Scroll down to the folder I wanted to put the photo in to.
    However, on my C3-01, once I get to option 4 above, there don’t appear to be any other options available. I now have a situation where I’ve moved items from my Images folder on my memory card but can’t put them into any sub-folders.
    Is this function no longer available? If so, it does seem a bit unusual.
    Hope someone can help.
    Many thanks
    Martin

  • Moving photos between projects

    I'm having a problem - erratically - moving photos from one project to another. When I select one photo & drag it to a different project - the entire project gets moved instead of just the one selected photo. (I've double checked that there are no photos selected before I select the photo that I want to move.)
    If I cancel the move, I end up with missing thumbnails & sometimes missing photos.
    This is erratic because sometimes dragging one photo to another project works.

    It is really hard to tell what might be happening - we need more details:
    What is your Aperture version? The most recent Aperture 3.4.1?
    Are your images referenced or managed? Raw or jpegs?
    How did you edit them? With Aperture or an external editor?
    Do you create new versions when editing and stack them, or edit the current version?
    And after moving to a new project, the preview of the version shows the original master, but the thumbnail shows the original edits? Is that correct?
    I Suspect, when you moved the images, they lost their previews. As a test, duplicate an image version (Photo > Duplicate Version) and force the generation of a new preview (Ctrl-click, hold down the options key ⌥, select "Generate Preview"). Does that bring back the edits? Also you could try to export the image version ans see, if the edits are still there.

  • Moving photos between libraries

    I take lots of photos, and, with previous incarnations of iPhoto, this was a bit of a problem. To get around it, I created multiple users on my computer, each with a themed library (family, travel, hobbies, etc.)
    With iPhoto 6 I can have much larger libraries, and multiple libraries for a single user. I have migrated my libraries (via an external hard drive) back to my main user, and open them as needed without a problem.
    Is there any way to move photos (original and modified, as a package) from one library to another? Or to merge libraries?
    I can export and then import from one to another, but I lose the original. Or I can burn to a disc, and then import, but this is time consuming and wasteful of discs.
    Any other suggestions?

    luba:
    Yes there is. The paid version of iPhoto Library Manager will let you move photos between libraries along with the originals, keywords, etc. It's about the only way to do it.
    With iPhoto's new alias mode there is a way to have several users use the same set of source files but each have their own edits, etc. You would place the source files in the Shared library and everyone use them as their source files. FWIW I've created some Tutorials to assist users covert from a conventional library to an alias based system.

  • Working and moving photos between two open libraries?

    I'm not sure if it is possible, but can you work in and transfer photos between two open libraries at the same time? It is more an organizational question...i.e. I want to have some photos only appear in a particular library...

    nk3:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can only have one library open at a time but with iPhoto Library Manager (in the free mode) you can transfer 20 photos at a time between libraries and keep keywords, comments, etc.

  • Moving Photos between users

    Hi I am trying to clean up computer & am new to iPhoto. We have 5 members of family + 1 user for family photos as users on one mac. All have down loaded photos into their individual photo library resulting in a massive double up of pics & also pic that should be in family user not being there.
    My Qu is can I import/export photos between users on same mac. We are using iPhoto 09
    Thanks
    Chris

    Enable iPhoto Sharing In each iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. The Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window and from the individual libraries to the Main one.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    Regards

  • Transferring photos between albums

    I want to transfer photos to other albums on my Phone without having multiple copies of the photo

    Photos in albums transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are stored in the Photo Library. Photos in the albums below include a pointer to original photos stored in the Photo Library. Photos in the albums are not duplicated as in taking double the storage capacity.
    The same applies to photos in the Camera Roll that are placed in a user created album. If you delete the original photo stored in the Camera Roll, the photo in the album is removed as well. Photos in albums include a pointer only to the original photos stored in the Camera Roll.

  • Moving Pics Between Albums In Photos?

    Is it possible to move a picture taken with the camera from the default album to a custom album, or create a new album on the fly to sort new pics taken with the camera or downloaded from an e-mail attachment or a web page? Seems only logical, but I can't figure it out if its possible.

    Unfortunately there is no way to move or organize photos on the iPad itself. To do that you would have to do all that on your computer and then sync the iPad.

  • Moving Photos within Album

    The photos are jumping around when I am moving them to another location within the same album. It is hard to get them in the correct place.  I am using 3.2.1 and have not had this problem until last week.

    Hi Peggy.  That should not be happening.  As soon as you reposition an Image (by dragging), the sort order should change (automatically) to "manual" and your manual sort should stick.  What sort order are you seeing in the sort-order drop-down at the top left of the Browser?
    I can confirm that 3.2.1 on 10.6.8  works as it should on my machine.
    Have your tried re-booting or doing any of the regular trouble-shooting?
    Do you see the vertical green "drop line" when dragging an Image (but before dropping it)?
