Over the time, a numerous images accumulate in my iPhone.
After a sure time, I wish to begin a brand new “collection” or “era” of images and by default see solely the images within the new collection, not the onld ones. I solely wish to take a look at the outdated images (in a earlier collection) often, by explicitly telling the app that I wish to see that collection.
Till not too long ago, I’ve handled this within the following method:
Every time I made a decision {that a} collection is full, I related my iPhone to my Mac and copied all photos to my exhausting disk, right into a listing for this collection (say: series1). Then I deleted all photos from my iPhone, and a brand new collection began. Over time, this introduced me directories on my Mac (series1, series2, ….) and I at all times have the present collection on my iPhone.
Whereas this course of was handy and allowed me to backup the photographs, I now would like an identical system, which additionally retains all of the collection on my iPhone.
My first concept was to create an album for this objective, and mentioned this right here. I might make an album and put the photographs there, however as I discovered from a remark by @hillside on this thread, the photographs are nonetheless current in my principal library, and if I might delete them there, they’d even be gone from my album. Therefore after beginning a brand new collection, I nonetheless see all of the outdated photos as effectively.
I wish to have an answer, the place I by default see solely the present collection and solely after I change to a brand new folder (album?), I see the photographs belonging to that collection.
I am undecided whether or not this may be carried out on the iPhone, but when I might arrange photos on my Mac, I might create a folder present and let all photos go into this folder. When the collection is full, I might rename the folder, and create a brand new present folder to obtain the photographs of the subsequent collection.
Can one thing like this be achieved within the iPhone, perhaps with the assistance of another app?
