Question of pictures in iPhoto albums


 

I have used Apple’s photo apps since the beginning of forever. Now, I have a long list of albums listed under the heading ‘iPhoto Events’.
Some of these only have 1 to 4 pictures, and others have more.
As I understand Apple’s photo file storage, If I delete all these albums, I’m really not deleting the photos themselves, I’m deleting the place mark for that photo. I guess I could experiment with some of them, but I thought I’d ask the group to get your advice.

Thanks in advance!

Bill, I don’t know if this is what you are asking?

No, when you delete photos from a Mac using iCloud Photos, the photo place marker is not left in iCloud;

I think he’s talking about deleting an album. Deleting an album doesn’t delete the photos in the album, because the albums are just like-tagged photos. Deleting the album essentially removes the tag with the name of the album from the photos.?

Try making an album with a duplicate photo. Then delete the album. See what happens to the photo.?

Yes, the Albums. I can see I have picture ‘A’ in my library, but also in an iPhoto Events album named ‘Christmas 2001’.
I think iPhoto used to make albums of photos based on events or dates. I’ll try your idea and see what happens.
Thanks!
