Organizing MacBook Air photo albums

MacBook Air Photos problem: Travel photos divided by country into separate albums. Two have many photos, so how do I make sub folders or albums within these? For example, some are of Madrid, some Barcelona, etc.

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?

Shared Album issue I have a MacBook Pro 13" early 2015, Monterey 12.6.2, as much as it can be currently updated. I have an iPad Air with iPADOS 16.2. From the iPad, I created a Shared Album of my library to share with my wife, who has a newer MacBook Air with Ventura. Now, I can't see any photos on my MacBook! Any idea how I can get them back?

For clarification - you cant' make subalbums or subfolders in an album. (Albums only hold photos. Folders can hold sub folders and albums, but not photos.)

You create your organisational structure in folders, then add albums where needed in there.

Hi,

you can create folders and subfolders and add as many albums inside as you want.

Example: create folder "Travel" and create albums "Madrid", "Barcelona" inside this folder.

Thanks, I’ve been messing around and seem to have a solution. It’s labor intensive but seems to work.
