iPhoto: How do I select and move multiple photos into an album?

Press and hold the Shift key and click on photos to select consecutive photos, press and hold the Shift + Command to click on nonconsecutive photos. Once selected, click on File>New Album and it will automatically create a new album with your selected photos. To name the album, click on the "untitled album" title at the top of the album, and then name it.

Once the album is created, you can select other photos the same way and drag them to the album you have created.

If the album already exists in the sidebar just select the multiple photos in the Photos window and drag and drop them on the album icon in the sidebar.

Some basic tips that work throughout the OS:

Click to select

Command-Click to add to the selection for non-contiguous items

For contiguous items: Click on the first then hold the shift key and click on the last. All the items between will be selected

Draw a box around the items with a mouse, while the most key is depressed

Once selected these can be dragged to the album on the sidebar, or, as Gail points out, can be used to make a new Album containing them.

If you want to use flagging then

flag the photos you want

Click on the Flagged Photos Smart Album

Go command-a to select all of the flagged images and then just drag them to the sidebar, and it will create an ew album containing them.

I found that for choosing non-consecutive pictures, you hold down the "command" + "option" buttons.

Hope this helps.

That's 'contiguous' 😉 and no, you don't need to hold the option key, just the command one.
