move contents of album in main library to new library

I want to move the contents of an album (7,000 images) from my main library of 24,000 images into a new Photos library. Is there a method? I do not want to review the entire contents of the main library to individually find and mark those 7,000 images in Import.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.0

I'd do it this way. Take a copy of the library.


In the copy create smart album : album - is not - name of the album you want to keep.


Delete everything in the smart album.


You are left with a library containing only the images you want. You can either use that library as is, or import the content into a new library.
