New albums show all photos in app, not just selected ones

When making a new album in Photos that holds only selected pictures, the albums are hidden in folders and hold all the pictures/albums in Photos, not just selected pictures. How do I fix this?

You transfer few photos(you are holding shift key and clicking on photos to get selected ) from system photo library folder to a newly created empty album in the photo side bar see the article https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/photos/pht6d60a1f1/mac

And then drag and drop that album over the newly folder created to get it merged https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/photos/pht211de0d6/mac

to transfer selected picture , tap a single photo in system photo library folder , take cursor on top menu bar image > add to untitled album .

Which version of Photos are you using?


How are you creating a new album in Photos from selected Photos?


Are you selecting the photos and using the command "File > New album from Selection"? If yes, this should create a new album the folder, that you have currently selected in the sidebar, and the album should only contain the selected photos.
