I am trying to organize my photos using Photo. I know how to create an album and currently just drag the pictures from the All Photos Album/Folder to the Album I want it in. I am trying to see if there is a way when I am looking at the All Photos Album/Folder to tell if it is in another album or folder that I created.
This does not always work. I have 30K images half of which are in albums. When I create a smart album with 'album is not any' it does not show the 15 K images not in albums, it does however show about 200 images not in albums. I have no clue why. Is there some code that Photos attaches to the image to tell what album it's in?
I posted the issue all over the place and no one has an answer. Only 'album is not any' but that doesn't work.
I did but don't understand it.
Actually you do and if you want help you have to post questions including context - both or your posts show an extremely disagreeable attitude
Doesn't work
and
You really have an attitude problem.
are worthless posts, incorrect and give no information with which one could help - once again is you want help then start a new thread, be polite and provide details per the article I provided the link to

No
But you can make a smart album (file menu ==> new smart album) for album is not any to make a list of al photos not in any album - as you add them to an album they will disappear form the smart album
I will request that your post be moved to the Photos for mac forum

Thanks for this Larry. Is it possible to identify photos in my Photos library that are not assigned to any Album? Happy New Year. Brian

What do I do when I am at #4
Larry, thanks. I came on to ask this exact question and your solution is perfect. I needed a way to Identify unfiled photos/videos in Photos.
Boconnor44 - I just set this up and I believe it is also exactly what you are looking for. If you need help let us know.
How did you do it zbloom?
Under Match The Following Conditions what do you put?
There's an easy way to identify in the All Photos window any photo that is currently in an album:
1 - to into each album, select all of the photos and use the Image ➙ Add to Favorites menu option:
This will put a small white heart in the upper left hand corner of the photos wherever they are shown:
In the All Photos window you'll see the same white heart on any photos that is in an album and you identified as such:
Of course if you use the Favorites feature for other reasons this reply will self delete in 10, 9, 8, ...... seconds.
Exactly as Glenn demonstrated...he took the screen shot right out of my mouth.
Old Toad, good alternate solution but I do use Favorites for another purpose. Getting rid of the 5-star rating in iPhoto already took a useful tool away from me.

Read the answer - it is clear - you simply did not read it - nothing about Photo is or is not anything - only Album is not any
