How do I remove photos from a project?

Thanks for the reminder of how to do this. Wouldn't it be simpler if the Delete choice showed up in the right click menu.

I only get that error when I select the flap. When I select the image at the bottom, it has a blue outline. I then hit delete and it goes away.

Same here

I open the photo strip at the bottom of the page, show unplaced photos and select them and press the delete key and hey are removed from the book

I have exactly the same problem in Photos.

Tried your advice, but there is no delete button. All the unplaced photos are highlighted anyway, but I am not abel to delete them.

Can someone please help?

Thanks

The delete key in in the upper felt hand corner of your computer keyboard - it says "delete" on it

Hi Larry,

Thanks for your reply. I thought you meant a delete button in the menu..

I did try the delete key (although on my keyboard it has an arrow on it and does not say delete 🙂 ) but still the same message..

Anyway after a few more attempts I have now found my mistake: I was in the pages modus and it is apparently only possible to delete pictures when one is working on an individual page.

Thanks for your help - you saved my day!

but I always get an error message saying "unable to delete page: covers and flaps cannot be removed from books". I don't even have a page selected-just a photo. Grrrrrrrr, does anyone know how to remove unused photos from a project,

You will get this error message, if you try to delete a photo from the flap while viewing the book in the "All Pages" view. Then it is not possible to select an individual photo on the flap. Double click the page to enlarge it. Then you can delete individual photos from the page.

Does anyone know how to copy photos selected for a photobook to another new photobook?

My first memorial photobook about my mother got too big and I need to start a second book with some of the photos I chose for the first book.

Have you tried to duplicate the book? Select it in the sidebar, then ctrl-click it and use "Duplicate book". I don't know, which version of Photos you are using, and if duplicate will work in your version.

duplicate post, please remove.

Many thanks Leonie, that sounds like a solution, then I just need to delete the photos I've already used in the first book. I am using Photos 1.5 and can make a duplicate book. My mind isn't as logical as yours Leonie!!
