Q: Can I move photos out of a Project back to an Album?
We made a Christmas card in Iphoto and unfortunately we added photos to use directly into the Project instead of into an Album first. We had planned to use the same pictures to also make a Calendar. For the life of me I cannot find a way to move the selected pics out of the Project and into an Album to start such a new project. Can't even move one individual pic out at all, let alone select all (which doesn't work here anyway). It's a couple of hundreds photos out of probably a few thousand so I hope someone has an answer, as it would take hours to re-do this. Help?? Thanks in advance!

Try, if you can create a smart album with the photos from the Card project. This works in iPhoto 9.6.1, but I don't remember if it worked in your version.
For example, if the card project is called MyCard, go to File > New > Smart Album
and add a rule:
Album is MyCard
In iPhoto 9.6.1 this smart album will aso include the "Last Import" album photos. You may want to exclude this with an additional rule.
