Apr 16, 2015 12:18 PM in response to Old Toadby DrVolo,Thanks for your reply but it is not really what i meant. I made a selection already on my iphone. But when i synced the (already selected) pictures with my mac, the photos app put them back in a burst and i have to select again. This is double work cause i use the burst option a lot and now al these pictures are back in a burst on my mac. I was wondering if there perhaps is a way (in settings perhaps? I looked and couldn't find) so photos doesn't set your previously already selected pictures back in a burst.
I hope it is clear what i mean.

Apr 16, 2015 12:23 PM in response to Old Toadby R C-R,You can also select multiple photos in the burst (click on the small circle on the lower right of each one). If you do that & then click "Done" the selected photos will be treated as individual photos, "unbursting" them, so to speak.

Apr 16, 2015 12:42 PM in response to R C-Rby DrVolo,This unbursting is my problem. I 'unbursted' them already in my iphone gallery. The ones i selected are 'rebursted' in photos for mac. I don't want that to happen cause that causes double the work. Iphoto didn't do this and treated the pictues i selected in my iphone gallery as individual pictures when syncing.

Apr 16, 2015 12:56 PM in response to DrVoloby R C-R,Unfortunately, it seems that Photos defaults to grouping bursts together as a 'stack' & there is no preference to stop this from happening. If you don't like that send Apple feedback about it.

Apr 21, 2015 11:30 PM in response to DrVoloby malcolm74,Hi All,
I too have this issue.
It seems that if you have previously uploaded burst photos to a shared iCloud Album, after switching to Photos & uploading all your old files to iCloud Photo Library, there is some duplication. I used to save my Camera Roll to dropbox before switching to iCloud Photo Library, when my photos uploaded to dropbox, the file was renamed something like 2014-08-06 07.43.08.jpg but when I uploaded the same photo to a shared iCloud Photo Steam the file name was the default iPhone name (IMG_0220.JPG). After switching to photos, I imported my Dropbox backups into Photos and this has resulted in all my burst shots becoming multiple frames again. One for each filename. When I try and delete the bursts I don't want, they always reappear.
I think there is an issue with Photos syncing photo stream versions with your photo library versions depending on if you delete the Photos version or the iCloud Photo Steam one.

Apr 22, 2015 1:00 AM in response to DrVoloby planetm,On a similar subject, please could you explain how to delete all but a few selected photos from Burst. I make my selection, press done and all of the originals remain. I can, however, delete the entire burst packet. Thank you

Apr 22, 2015 5:05 AM in response to planetmby malcolm74,Hi planetm,
I found if I deleted the version that was the original filename and kept the version I uploaded to iCloud Photo Library that had been renamed, I could permanently delete the excess "bursts".
Cheers.

Apr 23, 2015 12:20 AM in response to malcolm74by planetm,Sorry Malcom, where are you deleting the original from? I have not yet managed to upload all my photos to eh cloud, I have very poor internet connection.
This seems a very long winded way to delete photos. I have accidentally taken loads of bursts and now have them in my albums and want to just keep one of each batch.

Jul 10, 2015 7:29 PM in response to DrVoloby audiofreq,Yea, this is pretty annoying. I love the burst feature, but after selecting on the iPhone which ones to keep, thereby "unbursting" the set, I shouldn't have to repeat this process on the Mac.

Jul 26, 2015 11:48 AM in response to planetmby paulpx,I have the same question and you can do the following steps to delete photos from burst:
1. select the photo you want to modify or delete in bursts folder
2. click "Make a Selection" at the top left corner of photo
3. bottom will shown those burst photos and select the one you want to keep by click the "circle" on bottom right corner (you can select more than one if you want)
4. click "Done" than you can choose the popup "Keep only selection" to delete those you didn't select.
Cheers

Jul 26, 2015 5:00 PM in response to audiofreqby LarryHN,Ok
exactly why are you telling the users here that? If you want something done you need to tell Apple not us - https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html

Aug 30, 2015 8:54 AM in response to DrVoloby jeffreyfrombelton,★HelpfulSolved it. In the Photos app, look at the sidebar (if not there, click View/Show Sidebar). Click on the group "Bursts". Right click on a set of photos and choose "Delete 1 Burst". A dialog box will appear and it says, "Delete From All Devices. Keep x favorites and delete y photos from one burst?". If you click the delete button then the "extras" will be deleted and the favorites saved.
