I have a bunch of old albums on MobileMe filled with many photos from an old iPhoto library that aren't included in my newer iPhoto library on my MacBook Air. I was content with having them on www.me.com/gallery but when I just launched iPhoto it downloaded all of them to iPhoto. Now I'm not sure which photos/albums I already had in iPhoto before this migration and which ones iPhoto just pulled from MobileMe for my "convenience," but I'd like to get things back to the way they were before I just launched iPhoto. How can I do this? Thanks!
 
You had a bunch of old albums. MobileMe closed on 30th June. iPhoto has imported your photos to prevent them being lost forever.
Yes, but the problem is that some of the photos from my MobileMe albums were on my MacBook Air iPhoto library while other photos on MobileMe are on an older iPhoto library that I have archived. I don't need the old photos in my new iPhoto library nor do I need duplicates of the photos I already have in my new iPhoto library.

Were they automatically placed in a new folder / album called "from MobileMe"? Can you not just delete them?
