Q: How to save Photos ?
In Photos , I have "folders" :
Photos
- Albums
- "Under" Albums I have All Photos Folders with Sub Folders and sub Albums
When I import new photos , I see them in the Last Import Folder and in all above folders .
NOW WHAT ?
What is the best recommend way to save them in my Present Albums/ Folder OR in a NEW Album Folder ?
( In a simple procedure : To drag from ? to ? , Or First make a new Folder / Album ...)
Thanks

First you need to learn the terms
you have albums and folders - two different things - albums show photos - folder show albums and/or other folders - you use folders and user albums to organize your photos )see organizing your photos in the Photos help)
there are also smart albums and system albums
Albums are not a place - your photos are no "in" the album - they are in your library and the album is one way to view them - a photos can be in any number of albums and it still is a single photo in your library - it can be added to other albums or removed from albums with no effect on the library or any album other than the one you add to or remove from - deleting a photo removes is form the library and everyplace
Last import is not a folder, it is a system album and it always shows the photos from the last import
All Photos is a system album and it always shows all of the photos in your library sorted by the date they were added to your library
there are other system albums which only show when they have photos in them
open Photos help and read through it especially the section on organizing your photos - it is critical to under the concept of organizing Photos rather than organizing files as you may have done in the past
