[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1896010, member: 83420"] Hi and welcome. Photographs go into Albums and Albums go into Folders (you cannot put photographs in a Folder, only Albums). I'm just making that point - which you probably know already - as a starting point. The photographs in iPhoto or Photos app remain visible no matter how many Albums or Folders you create unless you deliberately choose to have them hidden. This is the direct answer to your question. It's usually best to create a Smart Album because you determine the criteria for inclusion and it constantly updates itself as new photographs meeting the inclusion criteria are added to the Library. If you create a "standard" Album, you have to drag the photographs into the Album and that is tiresome and it does not update automatically. Maybe you could elaborate on what you've done re your Albums - Smart and Standard - because I cannot explain how you can't visualise photographs not in an Album - in fact ALL photographs should remain visible as the Album/Folder structure is just a means of organising photographs. Have you deliberately hidden them??? Ian [/QUOTE]
