Photo in which album?

Does anyone knows how to find out to which album a certain image belongs?
Aperture can "show in Finder" or "show in project" but, as far as I know, not "show in album(s)".
For me this is a serious issue. How to know in which album(s) a picture has been stored?
Help is very much appreciated!

The use of keywords is a good idea. The script I wrote while a bit slow works and will show all the albums an image is in.
The major drawback to a keyword solution is that the keyword must be added manually, there is no automatic keyword addition.
One problem I've always has with regular albums in Aperture is that there is no way to add a selection to an existing album other than dragging. You can add a selection to a new album but not to an existing album.
To overcome this I created a set of scripts that implement a Target Album/Quick collection paradigm. An album is designated as the destination album and then the selection can be directly added to that album. The script could easily be changed to add the album name as a keyword to the selection as the images are added to the album.
If your interested see Aperture Service: Target Album/Quick Collection
BTW the show in album script is at Aperture: Search albums for a specific image

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.

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!!
Melinda

No there isn't.

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.

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.

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 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 .
Thanks

I am trying to copy 3 photos from an album in iPhoto to my iPhone. I have tried to move them to PhotoStream. I "select" the photos in the Album and then click on PhotoStream in the "Share" menu at the bottom of the screen. Nothing happens. I have also tried emailing them tyo myself but iPhoto won't send the email. It tells me it doesn't recognize my ID and password. My operating is Lion on an iMac.

Thank you for responding to my question, above, this morning. And thank you for the link about PhotoStream. It was helpful in understanding how Photostream works, but, unfortunately, doesn't really reference my problem since it assumes that the photos were originated on one of my Apple devices. The photos I want to copy to my iPhone are in an album on iPhoto but I had originally downloaded them from my camera to my iMac then moved them to the album. The confusing thing for me is that they are 3 of a dozen photos takern over a period of 12 years on different digital cameras (two were taken on film and later scanned and eventually moved to the album in iPhoto) and all but three of the photos moved to photostream and are on my iPhone. It is those three, which were all taken on digital cameras and moved to the album, which I can't get to move to Photostream.

Moving photos from one album to the other

I have the Iphone 5 using IOS 7.0.4, I want to move photos from one album to another. How can that be done? I have tried everything on the web and nothing works.

Does iCloud Photo Library syncronise ALBUMS across devices?

It is not clear whether the iCloud Photo Library synchronises ALBUMS across iOS devices. NOT just photos - the Photo Stream does that but I have several dozen albums on one iPad and I want the to be recreated on another iOS devices automatically.
Can anyone actually answer this question? It seems simple enough.
Here is what I want to happen after configuring the system:-
The existing albums on iPad A appear on iPad B automatically.
Changes to an album on either A or B are reflected on the other device.
A new album created on either device appears on the other device.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
ELKAY

Ok. At last I have it. And as far as I can tell my problem can't be solved automatically
As far as I can tel. most existing Albums (which aren't in the iCloud) don't get re-created or synchronised. All albums on your iPad will be deleted (although oddly for me, there are three out of 70 that seem to have been kept).
Turning on iCloud Photo Library turns it on for all devices that have the same Apple ID, and that are on a compatible version of the iOS. Any new album that is created on any device that is part of the iCloud photo library will be synced to other devices.
My approach has been to disconnect one of my iPads from the network which has all my albums and I will work through one album at a time recreating it and adding the selected photos to the album.
Much remains unclear (such as what happens to edits made on a iPad) and for a company whose story is all about ease of use, this has been a very opaque and nerve-racking experience - strating with the hair-raising message when you turn it on about deleting photos from iTunes. Before getting into the iCloud 'dream' I backed up all my photos from all devices to DropBox and from there to a USD drive.
The Photo-stream is another problem - no proper explanation of anything from the vendor - who knows where the images actually reside, and when they will disappear!
My next move is to look at Picasa as an alternative to this half-baked Apple vision.

Can I moved flagged photos into an album on the iPad?

Hi there,
While on holiday I used my iPad to backup photos from my camera and I used the flag system in iPhoto for iPad to mark which ones I wanted to share. The problem is I can't see a way of moving the flagged photos into an album so I wanted to find out if it is actually possible to do this on the iPad.
Additional info:
The photos were uploaded onto the iPad using the native Photos app and have been flagged in iPhoto
The photos are also on my iCloud account
Neither the flags nor editing applied to the photos have synced after iCloud has been updated on my Macbook
Due to the above I am unable to create a Smart Album based on flagged photos on my Macbook
In iPhoto for iPad I cannot see the filename so I am unable to discern which images to flag on my Macbook to utilise Smart Albums (I have a lot of very similar photos)
Any help would be much appreciated as this is incredibly frustrating.

There is not yet a simple solution to do what you want. The new Photos.app in iOS 8 will bring a much better integration between iPad and Mac.
I just don't understand the point of being able to flag, favourite or tag item on the iPad if you can't organise them into folders or easily share them between Apple's own apps.
iPhoto on the iPad is simply not yet as flexible as iPhoto on a Mac. It is not meant for syncing libraries between Mac and iPad. You can share photos, but not albums. And the central sharing place with other apps on the iPad is the Camera Roll. To make photos valuable in other apps, share them to the Camera Roll.
In iPhoto you cannot create albums like in the Photos.app. Only smart albums based on tags. If you add a tag "Flower" to some photos, you will automatically create an album "Flower". But again, these tags will not be transferred to your Mac by the Photo Stream, you will not see them in iPhoto on your mac.
If you want to transfer the edited photos using the Photo Stream you have to add them to the Photo Stream after editing, and that requires to save them to the Camera Roll.
You could use a shared Photo Stream, but that will reduce the size of the photos. Or select the flag photos and sync them to your Mac using iTunes Photo Sharing. http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/#blnkee26bc1f
Save photos to your computer using iTunes
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Tap a photo, album, event, web journal, or slideshow and tap > iTunes.
Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save (if you are saving a slideshow skip to step 4):
Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap one or more photos, and tap Next.
Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
In iTunes, click the button for your device and click Apps at the top of the window.
Below File Sharing, select iPhoto (in Apps).
Select the Shared Photos folder under iPhoto Documents.
Click Save To and select the location on your computer where you want to save the items.
To view your photos, go to the Finder and look in the location you selected above.
I am using the iPad mainly to browse and show photos in slideshows, but not, to organise and tag them. That I will do on my Mac.
