- Here's a SIMPLE TRICK to Organize Your Photos on your Mac. If you have problems organizing your photos, you are NOT alone!
The story behind today's class is I was recently teaching a private lesson (remotely) to a gentleman who had previously taken one of my classes called:
David's Tricks to FINALLY Organize Your Photos:
LINK HERE: • ORGANIZE Your Photos O...
He had taken all of the steps to create a structure of albums and folders, but after going through more than 20k photos, it became difficult to figure out which photos had NOT already been sorted into albums.
When we figured out the solution, I knew this was something you would ALL like to know too!
Today I am going to teach you in this short video tutorial on how to create a Smart Album (in the Photos App which comes with your Mac). When creating that album we're going to add custom search parameters so that it ONLY shows you which photos have not yet been sorted. This will allow you to go through the list of photos, drag and drop them into their corresponding albums on the sidebar, and as you organize them, they will disappear from this list.
BOOM! ORGANIZED!!!!
** One Small Correction: Smart Albums can only be accessed through the Mac Photos App. For some strange reason, Apple does not allow smart albums to be accessible on iOS devices.

Good video. Wish I could talk like this guy. He commands you to listen
Neat. Thankyou!
he lack of this aspect of “Organizing” has kept me for years from being able to organize my photo’s, I so grateful that you published this. I have 9,000 pictures. Pretty difficult to recall what was ordered in 4x4, or was it 4x6.
So now I can do one year at t time, and not order doubles, or put the same picture on 3 pages. Thank you, thank you. Mary
Really well done. I was very frustrated that I didn't know what a smart album was, and now I see how great it works. I am going to start organizing my hundreds (who knows, maybe thousands) of photos and get that satisfying feeling he was talking about when you see the numbers go down. Thanks!
Very useful. I, too love the idea of the decreasing number of photos showing in the 'unorganised' smart album.
Hahahaha! “Exes I haven’t blocked... yet” too good!
That totally made me laugh out loud too!
Thank you so much David! You’ve answered a question that’s had me stymied ever since Apple abandoned iPhoto and made a huge mess of my well organized albums when it converted them to Photos. I can’t tell you how frustrating it’s been to try and find a simple answer to how to fix the endless list of ‘rolls’ it imported. Now I think I can finally clean up this mess. I’ll be following you from now on guaranteed.
THANK YOU!! as we go into winter, this is a major project for me with 22 thousand photos...you just made it easy with the 'unorganized photo smart' album...over 9,000 and then I want to back up my icloud..thank you!!!!!
Thank you , the lesson is simple and easy to understand for a 60+ lady like me.
Thanks for sharing this useful organizing Feature - way more than a 'tip' for those of us overwhelmed with unsorted photos. I popped over here from your 'iMovie Full Tutorial ' which is super fantastic: I can't believe how much I can accomplish with my videos, still pictures, etc. thanks to your easy-to-follow tutorials.
Thank you so much! Bought my first iMac 2 days ago and now I can clean up my pictures on my phone at the same time :)
David, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for this tip! I am so glad that you showed us a great way to organize photos without having to buy yet more utility software to accomplish what can be a daunting task of organizing photos. I have been wrestling with this for years! This makes my day!
As for the technicality of your video, you are speaking clearly, enunciating well, speaking at a rate that makes the video enjoyable to watch (not speaking hurriedly) and you explain each step very thoroughly! You did a *great* job here. A '10' ! :-)
Excellent... all your videos are easy to follow, slow enough to follow along on a personal mac if necessary, and on topic! Highly recommend.
By far the BEST tutorials! Clear and concise!
I have come to hate Apple’s photo management system. I’m sure it is because I don’t understand enough, so I hope this helps! Thanks!
Dave Drum No. It kinda does suck. Very limited in its features.
I’ve been trying for years- just want to have everything into custom albums and not have to scroll through the camera roll (all photos).........
Very clever and clear directions. THANK YOU
Thanks David, another great tip, I’ve been watching your videos for a few years - best Apple tutorials I’ve ever seen 😃
Thanks - especially the tip on the Smart Album to filter our uncategorized photos.
Finally got around to organizing my photos and followed all your tips...MUCH BETTER! Thank you very much
Super smart methodology to identify unsorted photos. Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
Great info. I have 40k pics on my Mac and every time I looking for a pics would would take forever looking for the that one pics. Now I can start orginizing into photo albums, thx

I followed these instructions and all went well until the last step. I was able to click and drag a photo into an album but it did not disappear from photos. How do you know which photos have been placed into an album?? Excellent teacher.
