Organizing Photos on a Mac

What are albums?

An album is a collection of photos and video clips. Photos creates some albums for you, and you can create as many albums as you want to organize your photos the way you like. You can place photos in more than one album. You can also create Smart Albums, which automatically gather photos for you based on criteria you specify--such as keywords or locations. You can organize your albums by placing them in folders.
