Creating Albums in iPhoto

Video Transcript

"Hey everybody! My name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. You can also create what's called albums in iPhoto, which just like a virtual collection of your photos or virtual album as it may be. To do this, all you have to do is you can either right click over underneath the source and click new album. You can also come up to file at the top left and select new album. It's going to bring up this. Just make sure beside new it says album. You can give your album a name. I'm going to name mine my first album. Click create and you'll see it creates it over here under source. Don't get albums confused with new folder. Maybe we'll get into photos a little bit later, but they work a little it differently. What you can do with albums is I'm going to go up to my library. You can just click and drag your photos into your album. I'm going to drag a couple of them over here. When I select my first album, it's going to show all the photos that I've dragged to my album. If I go back to library, you'll notice that the photos are still in my library. When you drag a photo into an album, it doesn't actually move the location of your photo. It just creates an instance of that photo so that you can easily navigate to and arrange your photos very easily into different albums."
