Here's a quick tip for creating new albums. In this video, Derrick explains this technique in Photos for macOS.
- [Narrator] Once upon a time in the days…of photos past,…there was an icon up here that would allow…you to create a new album when you had…a bunch of pictures selected.…And it's no longer there…and when I first started working with…this version of the app,…I go well why did they do that?…Why did they take that away?…So for a while I was going over here,…I'd select my images and I'd go to File…and I'd go to New Album with Selection…and I could take care of it there.…Or I could do Command + N…and life was okay.…
Then one day I was just kind of playing around…over here and I moused over and I go,…hey, what's that right there?…There's a little plus sign right there (laughing).…And it all came together for me, right?…So I click on this little plus sign,…and lo and behold, I can create a new album…right here.…Just like that (laughing).…And I can call it Golden Gate.…I've already called it bridge so…we'll just call it Golden Gate.…
And I can hit return and there we go.…Now this little plus sign also allows me…to create a new Smart Album and a new Folder…
