Selecting Photos for an Album
1 - To select a single photo, click on it. The photo will have a line around it.
- To select all photos between the current one selected, and another photo, click on the first photo (a), then hold the Shift key down and click on the other photo. (b)
- To select only some of the photos, click on the first, (a) then hold the Command (Apple) key down while clicking on additional photos.(c)

4 - If you are not comfortable with dragging the photos, after selecting them, create a new Album this way:
a - Click on “File”
b - Select “New Album From Selection”
3 - Note: as you drag photos, you should see a translucent copy of the photos, and the number (a) you are dragging will show up. When you move over the Library area, you should also see a plus sign (b).
Be sure the album you want to drop the photos into has a circle (c) around it before you release the pointer. Else iPhoto will create a new untitled album and place the photos in it instead.
