Make a new Album - in a folder! Scroll to the top of the Albums screen. Find and tap [ + ] > New Folder > 2022 Class. (Nothing happens...) Go back to Library view and find your Photo Walk photos. Find Select in the top right corner and tap the first picture, a blue check appears. Tap and hold and scroll down the screen to select more pictures. Stop at the last picture you took at the park. Tap the Share button > tap Add to Album from the list, navigate to your new 2022 Class folder. Tap New Album > type the name of your park and tap Save. Still at the Library view, tap Albums and navigate to your new album.
Curate photos in your album. Tap and hold on a picture to see it pop, a menu appears. Tap and hold and move a picture to see other pictures move out of the way. Lift your finger to drop the picture in place. Tap and hold on a picture and move it up in the sequence. Move another photo. Haptic vibrations are an indication of movement. Don't lift your finger until the picture is where you want it to be. Move pictures down in the sequence, beyond your current view, use a finger to scroll the screen. This takes practice! More than one photo can be selected! To dismiss this edit, tap the top left button to go up the hierarchy of albums.
Curate the duplicates in your album. Look at the photo full screen to see buttons at the bottom of the screen: Share, Favorite, ( i) and Delete.

Share. Time to Show Off Using Memories and Shared Albums
Because of you, this class, I am doing new things with the Photos app. Thank you for moving me out of old habits and looking into details and features ignored in the past. Remember our photo walk activity? My Shared Memories into Shared Album is a good example of a public link from an iCloud Shared Album. Using Shared Albums is easy and how the iPhone Photographic Studio participants exchange art, techniques and comments. In this example, albums became memories with different soundtracks and were shared to a new shared album. No subscribers have been invited to post photos, memories or videos - there is only a link to view the album online.
Here are the workflow steps (iOS 15.3 - Feb 2022):
Setup a new albums folder for this type of project
- Open Photos to Albums view > [ + ] > New Folder > type a general name
Setup new Shared Album for exported Memories
- Create a title page, in Notes with instructions or reminders
- Make a screenshot of the Note on iPhone (or iPad)
- Open Photos find screenshot > Share > New Shared Album > name it for project
- > Next (don't invite anyone yet) > add text comments > Post
- Your placeholder shared album is ready
- Open Photos Library to select multiple photos (a few to start)
- Share > Add to Album > project folder > New Album > name it for specific memory
- Return to Photos Library, select and add additional photos to new album
- Open album to view all thumbnails
- Tap top right corner ( ... ) to show menu > Play Memory Video
- Tap screen to see controls > tap Pause button
- Tap music notes button > swipe to see soundtrack
- Tap music notes to see alternative soundtracks
- Tap Share button > Add to Shared Album (preparing video)
- > navigate to Shared Album > add text comments > Post
