I'd like to take a number of pictures out of a set and -say- put them back to the way they were before I created the Set/Collection they are in now. So that when I sort they are not in either one. Does that make sense?

I know I can just move from one to the other, but the picture doesn't follow along and disappear, and when you are dealing with a set that contains 400+ photos, it's hard to remember if you've moved that photo already. (A feature that I don't think makes any sense at all!) If it is not in a set to begin with, it will automatically move and you know it's moved.

Thanks for taking the time to read and help.

OK, you can delete a photo from a set in two ways:

1. Load the set into the Organizer, then drag and drop into the Findr bar below any photos you do not want in that set

or
2. Go to each photo page, click Add to Set, and then click the X next to the set name in the drop-down list that you no longer want that photo in.

Since sets are in collections, anytime you drop a photo out of a set, it will drop it out of the collection, too (unless the photo is in another set in that collection).

Also, there is no "move" feature. You have to add a photo to a set and then drop it from another set.

To back up a bit about photos and sets:

Images only exist in your photostream.
A set is a group of links to images in your photostream.

An image can be in as many sets as you like, or in none.
Removing an image from a set is simply taking that link out. This doesn't affect the image's use in any other set, or in your photostream.

So, you don't 'move' an image from one set to another. You either have a link to that image in that set or not. Whether or not it is in one set has no impact on whether or not it's in a different set.
