Organizing photos

Hi everyone!


I am trying to organize my iCloud photos on my MacBook. I am able to create new albums and copy photos to the new albums. What I cannot figure out is how to no longer display them in the "library". The reason is so that I know any photos in "library" have not been copied to an album. That way I can work on my photos over time and don't have to remember which ones I've already copied to an album.


Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hello everyone,


I did some more digging and just "trying things" and figured out that most of my images somehow got placed in an album. Obviously I must have done it, but I don't know what I did. Anyway I was able to create the SmartFolder and it is working as expected. Thanks to everyone for you suggestions!!
