Confused...how do I import photos into a particular album?
Is there any way of picking selected photos and importing them directly into that album?
I rarely use iPhoto, but every time I do, it's a major head-scratcher. I don't know why, but I simply do not understand the interface or organization (folders, albums, events, etc.). The PDF help manual doesn't cover importing photos from the hard drive. I'm sure iPhoto works wonderfully for regular users. I know it's me, not you!
Where do the imported photos go? Are they in the aether until you, somehow, find them and then drag them into an album? How do you find them?
It seems that the strategy is to give an import an event name as the way to group them, but then I can't find the event. (It's usually mixed in with a bunch of dated events.)
Here's the complication in this case. I have dozens of images in that Hubble folder. I'm in iPhoto. I'd like to import selected ones. I have to import them one at a time because I'm checking on which image is which. Then they get lost as they were taken, and saved/dated, at different times. I suppose my only recourse is to create the iPad Hubble folder first outside of iPhoto and then import them in one fell swoop.
I know this will all sound ridiculous to those who use iPhoto regularly or simply just get it, but I'm lost in space--literally!
Any suggestions on making my way back to Earth would be greatly appreciated! 🙂
