Album Shortcuts

You can create an album and add images to it in one step. Select one or more images and then create the new album. You can also drag the selected images into a blank spot of the Library list.

When you use either technique, iPhoto gives the new album a generic name, such as untitled album. To rename the album, double-click its name and type a new name.

If you have photos on a storage device—your hard drive, an optical disc, or a digital camera’s memory card—you can import them into iPhoto and create an album in one fell swoop.

Simply drag the photos from the Finder onto the Albums heading in the Library list. iPhoto imports the photos, storing them in their own untitled event. iPhoto also creates an untitled album and adds the photos to it.
