    If you're in an Album view, the Delete (⌫) removes from the album, however in the "All Photos" view, nothing happens. In both cases and to delete, press Command (⌘) + Delete (⌫).

     

    As a tip, you can know what keys perform what functions described in the menus. For this example, select an image and go to Image menu, on the menu bar. You'll see the last option is "Remove 1 Photo from Album ⌫"  (greyed out if your not in an Album view). With the menu still open, press the Command key (⌘) and you'll see the option now changes to "Delete 1 Photo ⌘⌫" as below. You can use other modifiers such as Shift (⇧) or Option (⌥) to reveal other options.

    In Iphoto I used the delete button in my keyboard.  In the solution from above the button arrow points forward 18764168-1.png and not backward as shown above ⌫. I think that is the problem.

    Also the fn + delete does not work.

    I can delete foto's by the menu tough that takes more time. I would like to have a short cut that works on my keyboard.

    Tnx for your replay
