    Is there an APP to organize my photos like Adobe Bridge or Photo mechanics does?

    The OP is asking the same questions on u.c.s.m. and I'm confused too as to what he wants.

    Photos is free and allows you to organise your images however you want.

    Adobe Bridge is available for MacOS for free, but there is no iOS /
    iPadOS version.
    <https://www.adobe.com/products/bridge.html>

    Adobe Lightroom is another option, although expensive on Mac or
    Windows, but free for iOS / iPadOS and Android. <https://www.adobe.com/nz/products/photoshop-lightroom.html>

    There are other MacOS alternatives, but I have no idea how good or bad
    they are no if they have iOS / iPadOS versions. Some examples are at: <https://alternativeto.net/software/adobe-bridge/?platform=mac>

    Hello everyone, and thank you so much for helping me!

    I'm sorry I didn't express myself well enough to make it clear what I'm trying to achieve.

    I understand pretty well how Photos works, I like it because it syncs between my other Mac devices, but I would like that when I select a photo for a specific album, that photo would be "moved" to the album of my choice, that
    is, I would like it to no longer be seen in Library, because Library is the first thing that appears by default when I open my iPhone, My Mac or my iPad.


    To be even clearer, I would prefer Photos to behave similarly to when I move a photo from one folder to another on my MAC, which is why I showed you the screenshot of how it looks in my Adobe Bridge, or in Photo Mechanics.

    These programs allow me to select and move, copy or delete photos, but also mark the photos I select with different colors, which makes it very easy to sort, by categories or however I prefer.


    That said, at this point, and seeing your answers, I understand that Photos is probably not designed to behave like this.


    I'll try to get used to it, or try other apps.

    Many thanks to everyone in this excellent group.

    Best regards,
    Matt.

    Thank you so much!

    I have an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription, and I've only installed Bridge
    and Photoshop.
    I've never installed Lightroom because I don't like it, but I didn't know it also has an iPhone version,
    so I'll install it and try it out.

    Thanks again!

    Matt.
