Is there a way to create folders within the Pictures folder? I would like to have folders for different photo groups.

You can create subfolders in the Pictures folder like in any other folder.

Open the Pictures folder in the Finder and use the command "File > New Folder ⇧⌘N"

Is it possible to Batch Rename a folder of images in Photos? Is it possible to Batch Rename a folder of images in Photos. Ideally I would like to change from the camera filename, IMG_0616.HEIC to Location Sequential Number London001, London002 etc. If this cannot be achieved then to add sequential titles would work so from no title to London001, London002 etc. Thanks for any help provided.

Ventura Behavior Changed: Photos Upload Dialog - Can't See Folders and Albums, only the entire Library. When I attempt to upload photos to Smugmug via its Web interface, I click "browse this computer" and a Finder-ish dialog pops up. Prior to Ventura, when I click on "Photos" under "Media" in the left side pane, it would bring up a new pane that had at the top, the Apple Photos color-wheel icon, with a dropdown that showed my Apple Photos Folder and Album structure. I could navigate to a Photos Folder / Album, select the photos from that album I wanted and they would upload. Now in Ventura, the behavior changed. In Ventura when I click "browse this computer" on the same Smugmug interface, the Finder-ish dialog pop-up still shows "Photos" under "Media", but I do not have the option of navigating through my Apple Photos Folders and Albums. I only see a view equivalent to Library / Photos in Apple Photos. There is a blue folder saying Photos at the top, no color-wheel, and no Folder/Album structure, and no way to navigate to a particular Album in Apple Photos. I want to see the Folder / Album information so I can easily find the photos I have already organized into albums and not have to pick through my entire library. I have tried Safari and Chrome with the same result. How can this functionality be restored in Ventura?

Is the Pictures folder open in the Finder and the front most Finder window when you try that?

Then check the permissions on your Pictures folder.

Select the Pictures folder itself in your home folder.
Enter the key combination ⌘i to open the Info. At the bottom of the Info you will the permissions. Do you have read and write permissions?

It is grayed out. Not an option.

Ahhh.... I was trying to create a new folder from the root folder of pictures. Once I opened the pictures folder it worked as expected. Thanks...
