Is there a way to have items added to a Photos "Album" to not be visible in the "Library"?

I only periodically go through the "Library" to delete or add items to an "Album". Once they are in an "Album", it would be nice if I had the option to make such items invisible so I can more easily deal with the items not within an "Album".

MacBook Air, macOS 14.1

You may want to use a smart album with all photos, that are not yet in an album:

  • File > new smart album
  • Set the rule to "Album > is not > Any"


This smart album will update automatically (but slowly) as you add photos to an album.
