Thumbnails from deleted photos

The thumbnails from deleted photos are showing up instead of the correct thumbnails. When I click on the thumbnail, a completely different photo opens. I have emptied my trash.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Sounds like you have a damaged database file in the library. Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Stop icloud sync from deleteing photos from computer?

When I ran out of space on my ICloud backup all photots were deleted from my computer -- I find this to be a serious problem - I was using the computer to maintain a backup of the photos on my IPhone - How do I stop ICoud syncing from deleting photos?

How many photos did you have? Photo Stream only keeps the last 1000. If you really want to keep the photos, import them into your iPhoto (or Aperture or Lightroom or whatever photo software you use on the Mac) and not just keep them in Photo Stream.

Removing thumbnails for deleted photos

I have deleted a lot of photos from my computer using Graphic Converter because of its useful Find Duplicates function. Unfortunately, the thumbnails are still visible in iPhoto. Is there a way to easily delete them?
Thanks,
Frank

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
Are you sure that GC deleted duplicates and not different versions of the pics?

Delete photo from iPhoto library and HDD

Hopefully I'm not repeating a previous thread...
Not being an expert, am I correct in saying that iPhoto only changes its version of the photo when editing it?
Also, if you delete the photo by moving it to the trash can, it doesn't physically delete it from the HDD? (When you empty the trash can)
This causes a problem for a few reasons.
I have just loaded Medialink PS3 which allows the iMac to serve the PS3. (BTW - Good product)
If you point Medialink to the original HDD folder then this still includes photos I thought I had deleted.
Also If I want to burn a cd with the photo folder external to iPhoto , the "deleted" photos are also burnt.
I copied all of the photos from a windows PC, and Picasa allowed you to physically delet from its own folder as well as the HDD.
Doesn't iPhoto 09 allow this?
What would iPhoto do if I went through and cleaned up the external folder and deleted jpgs or edited using Canon editing software? If using the external editor, would iPhoto reflect the changes?
Sorry if this is verbose.
regards,

You might want to have a llook at the iPhoto tutorials. They cover a lot of these basics.
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto-hero
And the version of iPhoto you are using?
I'm not at all sure that a Referenced Library is what you want. In fact I strongly recommend against it. But however:
*How to do it:*
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
*What Happens:*
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
*Some things to consider:*
1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
My own opinion:
I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
+Some Other Comments+
iPhoto will not touch any file outside its library. Period.
It will copy files on import and leave existing files untouched,
It will delete files within the Library but not outside the Library.
When you choose to go with a Referenced Library you are deciding that You want to manage the Files. You want to import them from the camera, you want to sort them however you want and you want to delete them yourself. That's the point of a referenced Library.
I just did a test by editing a photo using Canon Professional and the changes were not reflected in iPhoto. And vise versa.
The point of iPhoto is that you interface with your Photos via the Application. Like Addressbook for your contacts, iTunes for your Music, it's the go-to app for your Photos.
So, you want to edit Photos, you go to iPhoto and use the External Editor:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.

Unable to delete photos from my ipad2 .

I am unable to delete photos from my ipad2. I am able to select the photos to delete but when I press the red delete button nothing happens. Is anyone else having this experience? Is there a known problem. Is there a solution?

You don't say what type of photos - were they taken with the iPad or synced from your computer ?
Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/wesites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by removing them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing (if you were able to delete them directly on the iPad, then the next time you synced photos they would be put back onto the iPad, unless you remembered to also remove them from your computer).

How to delete photo's from both Iphoto and source (external HD) at the same time

I've seen a few postings on this but none seem to answer the quetion. Sorry if this is a duplicate and I coudn't find the answer.
I have an external HD with over 4GB of pictures in various folders and subfolders. I would like to import one folder at a time and go through the photo's using iPhoto to choose which ones I want to keep and which ones I don't. If I come accross a picture I don't like I would like to delete it in iPhoto and at the same time have it deleted from my external HD. I have tried the following with no success:
1. Import photo's to iPhone and delete photo's I don't want. I did this in the photo's view, not events or albums.
2. After deleting the photo's I empited the iPhoto recyling bin which then sends the photo's to my Macbook pro recycle bin
3. I then emptied the macbook pro recyle bin.
From what I've read this is how you're supposed to be able to delete photo's permantently form you HD or External HD. The photo's I delete never end up getting erased from my external HD though. So now I'm still stuck with a back up of a bunch of pictures I don't want on my external HD. They are gone from iPhoto but this doesn't help or avoid taking up space. This only cleans up iPhoto library but not my actual external HD.
So am I correct that there actually isn't any way to do this other than going through the photo's on my external HD using Finder and deleting them before importing to iPhoto?

A managed library is the default type that iPhoto creates. Make sure you have the option selected to copy photos into iPhoto when importing:
was hoping it would at least keep thumbnails of all my photo's.
I use a DAM (digital asset management) program which will do exactly what you want: Media Pro 1. It creates catalogs (libraries) of thumbnails, up to 640 x 480, that is uses to manage the photos. You can do anything to the photos except edit, slideshows, or anything that requires the full source image when the source files are not available. You can arrange photos in Catalog Sets (like iPhoto albums), add keywords, etc. to them even when the sorce files are not available. When the source files are available you can write that metadata to the source file and rename files. You can use Media Pro in demo mode for about a month I believe.
A catalog file for 44,000 photos (178 GB) with the thumbnails set for 320 pixels at high resolution is only 1.5 GB. The larger the thumbnail selected the larger the catalog file will be.

How to transfer photo gallery with thumbnails from Fireworks?

Hi
I am trying to create a website. I am using Dreamweaver CS3
and for my main homepage I used one of their templates.
From my main page I give a link to photo gallery. I intend to
build a gallery in Fireworks as I will need a thumbnails for my
photos.
My question is how can I transfer the created gallery to
Dreamweaver CS3? I need the same template I used for my homepage
for my gallery?
Please help!
Thanks

Resize your photos as needed to cut down their size use jpg
or png format.
save then in an outside folder.
next inside the directory you use for your web files create a
directory
with either the sme name as the outside folder or name
desired open that
directory.
Open up Dreamweaver and create a Blank HTML page.
Now go to Commands menu and and choose create web Photo
album...
next a menu will pop up and ask directory where images are
located. Then
will ask the destination directory browse to the new
directory you
created. You will also settings for Thumbnail size and
whether to use
captions if you do use captions it will use the file name of
of each
image and you will have to go in and edit the caption names
for the
photos as desired when everything is setup fireworks will
takeover and
create the album. it will create three subdirectories one
with the full
size photos , one with the thumbs, and one with the html
information for
each photo. Plus three other files in main directory one
being an html
file. once completed and Fireworks returns editing back to
Dreamweaver
close and don't save the blank html file. the index file
needed will be
created by Fireworks.
open the index file inside you album directory and edit
cations as needed.
Remember if you do this you'll need a total of 3 times files
of the
photos you use for example.
if you have 30 photos it will be a total of four directories
and 93 files.
for 20 it would be 63 files, for 10 33 files and so on.
If you need to add photos or take away photos the method is
to start
over from scratch and use you FTP program to do a recursive
delete on
the directory then re-upload.

Why cant I delete photos from event in Iphoto 08?

Set to edit in external editor. After trying to open movie, return to event and cannot delete photos. Open and close program a couple of times, reset to edit in new window, re-open program and I can delete, but only by dragging to the trash located in Iphoto window (cannot drag to desktop trash, use delete key, use command-option-delete etc). Works on a couple of photos, then will not let me delete in any manner again.
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks

Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.

Deleting photos from harddisk

I have problem in deleting photos from harddisk.when i open the program again they come back duplicated.done this several times but continue duplicating with every deletion.how do i solve this problem.

Thanks for help. I learned something.so ive done 2 things now refreshed

deleted a year ago and I had always checked on the remove from harddisk.So
they are still there. I now know about the recycle bin thanks to you. Does
this get rid of them from the computer.?
Another puzzeling factor is that when refreshing thumbnails I saw many of
them had tag symbol,something I ve never used! So don’t understand that.
Further point... when I looked in windows -my pictures there were some
pictures in file-folders and most of them not. How do I get them all into to
those yellow folders to organise them better.? Thanks for help,much
appreciated. S.
Files exist in the Windows "Recycle Bin" until you empty it. To do that, you would right click on the icon, then select "Empty Recycle Bin", then they're gone forever, no turning back.
Tags, once written to a photo are forever. The only explanation I have for this, would be one; if these are downloaded photos, tags may have been set by the originator, or possibility two; a data base faiilure in PSE may be picking up tags that are actually on another one of your photos. If the tags are in fact, not a tag that you've created, then the former is likely the explanation.
As far as creating individual folders for photos, that's rather easy to do. First you pick a location, whether it is another drive , or a separate folder within "My Pictures", the copy the pictures from the camera card directly to there with Windows "copy and paste". After that, you can drag them into the organizer, or use "File" > "Get Photos from Files and Folders" to import them to PSE.
That being said, once a photo is where you want it, and has been imported to PSE....DO NOT further tamper with it in Windows.
IMO, you need to learn a bit more about negotiating and creating the files and folders in Windows itself, before you try to set up a file and folder system for your images. PSE is the "great babysitter" when it comes to guiding inexperienced users to their images.
That said, when PSE screws up, we still wind up answering a lot of paniced user's questions, all of whom think the PSE has "lost all their images".

Deleting Photos from my hard drive

I have to create some more room on my hard Drive I have backed it up. I have over 10,000 pictures in iphoto and I have deleted 8000 from my originals file however the thumbnails in the photo albums still exist? how do I get rid of them.
When I back up my photos does it keep my photo albums titles or do I need to keep them in photo even though they do not have pictures?

Hi there
I highly recommend iPhotoDiet
http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~fuhrer/personal/freestuff/iphotodiet/
It's very good at clearing up your iPhoto library. When you rotate an image or make any changes to it, iPhoto saves an extra copy. It means you get a highly bloated library in no time at all. iPhoto Diet finds all these extra thumbnails and deletes them.
It can take a while to sift through the whole thing first time around, but it is very good.
Hope this is helpful

Deleting photo's ( taken on ipad2 camera ) on the camera roll directly from ipad

I am new to all this stuff....as Grannies are....but here goes...
I just got an iPad2 with the iOS5 ( the only apple device I have ). I have had it 8 Days....
I took some photos with the iPad2 camera then I transferred them to a new album, following the directions in the downloaded User's Guide.
That worked OK.
Now I want to delete some photo's from the Camera Roll. Looked up how to delete from Camera Roll in the U/Guide which says...Open Camera, tap box in the lower L/H bottom corner, open a photo, then tap garbage bin.
I have done all this but instead of saying, in the red box, " Delete Photo ", as it should, it says " Delete Everywhere " which takes the photo out of the Camera Roll as well as the album it was put into. I tried it out once and it did delete from both places. !!!
Then when I open Photo's, then open an album and tap on a photo and follow what the U/Guide tells you to do, open a photo then tap the Garbage bin, I get the same message there too " Delete Everywhere "
There seems to be no way to change from Delete Everywhere to Delete Photo. ???? AND it also altered a photo in another completely different album ( one that I synced from my PC ) in that, instead of a photo, I now have a light grey square with a question mark in the centre of it in place of the picture , yet when I tap on the grey square the photo then opens. ????
Can anyone help please ?

I have managed to find a fix for my problem .
I have discovered the following…..To Delete Photos from Camera roll.
If when you open “Camera” on your iPad , you have photos on your camera roll that you haven’t put into an album directly from the camera roll in “ Photos” then you can Delete them as the User Guide states eg. …Open Camera … tap the thumbnail box in the lower L/H bottom corner and a bigger display of thumbnails of your photos will appear….tap the box with the arrow in it on the upper R/H side….then tap on the thumbnail , this will put a blue circle with a white tick in it on the lower R/H corner of that thumbnail and the Red Delete button will come alive…..tap the delete button and you will get a drop down saying …Delete Photo…tap this and the photo will disappear and it will also disappear from the little thumbnail box in the lower L/H corner….do this with all photos …then tap Done……you will now have an empty camera roll.
HOWEVER…….if in “ Photos” you have put any of these photos that are on the Camera roll album into other albums directly on your iPad you will NOT be able to delete them in this manner..….When you open “ Camera “ and pull up your thumbnails and follow the above process the Drop down from the Red Delete button will say…Delete Everywhere…meaning from the camera roll and the particular Album you have that photo in……in short you will loose the photo completely.
This next bit is for those of us who have PC’s that are not Apple.
I plugged my iPad into my computer via the Dock connector to USB cable that came with the iPad and copied the camera roll onto my PC using the Microsoft Photo Wizard to load all the photos I had taken with my iPad camera onto my PC’s …My Pictures….they all transferred OK….I disconnected the cable from the iPad to the PC. Then on the PC with MY Pictures open I sorted and renamed and created folders /albums to suit my needs…..
Now make Blank Folder in My Pictures and leave it sit there empty.
OK now time to clear the IPad of all the stuff I don’t want on there.
Now you can go back into “Photos” on the iPad and use the “Delete Everywhere” or button and it will do that. You can also go back into “Camera” and make sure that all of the camera roll is deleted as well. You should end up with no Camera roll in either the Photos or Camera apps.
Pull up iTunes on the PC….Plug in the cable again….Click on Device name and you get a sync menu…click on photos …tick sync to iPad and then choose selected albums…..and then tick the albums you wish to copy to your iPad and click on apply…..this will then only sync those photo albums you have ticked….Yay !
Now I had some problems with some photos disappearing and leaving just a light grey square with a question mark in it, in the place where the photo should have been ,whilst I was trying to delete the camera roll ( see first discussion) before I worked out a way to do it so I chose to Delete ALL the albums I had previously synced from my PC to fix that as well….and no, I don’t know what caused that to happen, however,
……… To do this I did as above…with the sync menu open click photos…then tick selected albums…. Then selected the Blank Folder I had created earlier on my PC and Nothing else…...then click apply… your screen may ak if this is what you want to do.....this will delete all the photos on the iPad that have been synced on there before. ……
Now with everything back to blank screens you can go ahead and select those albums you do want on your iPad from your computer and resync .
This method has worked for this “ Granny “ and I didn’t have a huge amount of photos on the camera roll so it may be a bit long and laborious if you do have a gazillion photos on your camera roll and I don’t know about bulk deleting…….but I now have a working iPad and only the Photos I want on it and no grey squares with question marks.
This may be a bit long winded as an article but I hope it can help someone else to sort out their problems, as I have now done, and after looking at many sites for help info there appears to be quite a bit of confusion out there with these apps.
Happy Now...
Granny 2012.

Deleted photo and thumbnail still shows up in album view and camera roll

Hi, whenever i delete a photo on either my ipad(2) or iphone(4s), the thumbnail of the deleted photo still shows up in the album view and camera roll.
Also, a picture that i deleted months ago (have saved other photos since then, and replaced the thumbnail) from my ipad randomly showed up in the album view and camera roll??
I have IOS 5.0.1 installed on both iphone(4s) and ipad(2).
Is this a software glitch or??
thanks

Sounds like a damaged database fie:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Deleted photo's thumbnails appear in N97's capture...

Hi guys.
As the title said, deleted photo's thumbnails appear in my N97's capture gallery. I capture an image or two and when I go to my Photos > Captured I see tumbnails of images I deleted a long time ago. When I open a file I still see an image that was deleted ower a year ago.
Only when I click "edit" do I see the recently captured image that I should have seen in the first place.
I tried everything. Restore factory settings, delete everything the phone lets me in explorer... still the problem persists. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi dtbsz,
We're sorry to hear you have been having trouble with this, but here are a few ways to thoroughly get to the bottom of your issue. I'm assuming you're using the defult photo app.
Firstly, connect your N97 using Mass Storage mode. If you have Windows, open up the drive associated with the N97 under My Computer. Before going anywhere, make sure you have your Windows Explorer set to show hidden files as well. Go to Tools > Folder Options > View. Somewhere in there you'll see a branch called "Hidden files and folders". Select "Show hidden files and folders". Hit Apply and Ok.
Now, you'll see in your mass storage drive a folder called "Private". Open Private > 101ffc31. Then delete glxmdstn. Unplug your phone, and re-open your Photos app.
If this does not solve the issue, try the following too:
1) Do a full backup, with user data.
2) Do another full backup, but without user data.
3) Reformat the phone.
4) Restore the data from the full backup with user data.
5) If the problem persists, reformat the phone again.
6) This time, restore the data without user data.
Ensure you have the critical data backed up separately too, instead of relying on NBU.
Report back and let us know about your progress.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to the photo sheet page (the one with the thumbnails) tap the edit button in the top right corner, tap the photos you want to delete to select them, tap the delete button in the bottom right corner.
