Album problem remains unsolved.

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

This product, like all others I've tried, still fails to solve the following critical issue: Let's say you ended up with 3 duplicate verison of the same photo in the iPhoto Library: Versions A, B, and C.
You also placed vesrion B into an album!
No problem if you delete A and C.
BUT IF YOU DELETE VESRION B, IT IS ALSO DELETED FROM THE ALBUM, and you won't know this until you look in the album, by which time you may have emptied the trash.
What we need is a marker on each photo in the Library which indicates which album(s)hold this photo.
Any suggestions?

If you have only one of the duplicates in an album, you can identify the others by creating a Smart album that collects only those images that are NOT in albums already.

I would love for someone to explain HOW to make a smart album that contains only pictures that are not in other albums. Please, please!

To make such a smart album, set up the following three selections:

"Album"
"is not"
"any"

A little posting this, but perhaps it will help somebody...

I believe the problem is that a photo in an album doesn't exist as a separate entity. It is only an alias of itself in the main library. So if you delete it from the library, it disappears from the album too.
