Organization of photos in albums and library. I have made several Albums from pictures in my Library on my I Pad. All the photos still remain in the library. Is there a way to decipher which photos have or have not been delegated to an album? if you say to open a file, I read an old answer saying. That’s first thing to do to create a Smart Album. have no idea how or where file is located. Thanks for any assistance you can give me. carole644

Photos app: Hide photos already in albums I have been a Mac user for 25 years and have simply dumped photos and videos into the Photos app. There are around 10,000 items which need to be sorted into albums. I have no problem creating an album but is there any way to "hide" the photos in the main library which I have already put into albums so that I can see what is left?

The standard trick is to create a Smart Album with the criterion ("Album", "is not", "Any").
