Trying to get my pictures under contol and I'm experiencing a few problems. I'm doing some research currently and have been downloading a lot of individual photos. When they come into iPhoto they're all on different rolls. I would like to put all of these rolls together into one but can't seem to figure it out. I've tried selecting the rolls I want and then going to file create new roll, but this option is greyed out. Any ideas?
Thanks

You can easily drag the photos into one roll. For instance, drag photos from rolls 4, 5, and 6 into roll 1. Drop them on the name of the roll and they will just pop into that roll. You can rename the roll as well, to make it more descriptive of what is in it.
Whatever you do, stay out of the iPhoto library in finder. You will create untold misery for yourself. Work within iPhoto!
Does that help?

Thanks for the tip. I figured I was making it harder than it was. Thanks for the warning too; I've heard many horror stories already.

None by looking into it. What skybolt meant was changing anything in the iPhoto Library via the Finder. If you do, iPhoto will probably not recognise the changes and you will have problems using iPhoto.

You have no idea how long I've been trying to figure that stuff out. I knew the functionality should be there, and I'm just to much of a dumb guy to look in the iPhoto help.
Thank you so much.
Oh, and messing with the data in the library in finder is bad. I made a backup before I did, and wow it gets messy.
