Greetings Capitan Chris,




Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!




From your question, it sounds like you have imported the photos from your Camera Roll to your computer, but would like to import photos from other albums as well.




If this is correct, you would not be able to import photos from these albums to your computer. You can only import photos and videos from the Camera Roll to a computer.




After you import your photos from your iOS device to your computer, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device. You can't import photos or videos synced from iTunes. You can only import photos and videos from the Camera Roll on your device.


Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer - Apple Support


As this section of the article implies, any photos in albums other than the Camera Roll were synced to your device from a computer using iTunes. Only the media (photos/videos) that were captured with the device can be imported to a computer.




Best
