Photos IS a joke. The way Photos organizes is nauseating. The whole collage thing is a visual/organizational nightmare. Please Apple....just give us our iPhotos Events thumbnail folders back and the ability to name them.
Create Albums. Name them like you would events.
Go inside of album. Right-click on photo, select "Make key photo"
Drag Albums around to arrange in an order that makes you happy.
Close in "Album view" and it opens in Album view. You can use same album view on your iPhone.
Never look at collage of years again.
Does this help?

I'd really love to stay and chat more about your great software Mr Cook, but I've got to deliver two dozen images to a client today. You seem busy extolling the virtues of your software in another thread anyway, so I'm sure you wont miss me too much.
No problem, Shanatu Narayen. I am sure Adobe clients are most interested in your plans to rent them their own content
as well as software.
See? Anyone can make that kind of cheap shot.
I'm much better looking than Tim Cook
I only wish I was in that tax bracket so I could afford more camera gear.
Look, software is a tool. Do you go to your mechanic and say "you can only work on my car with Snap-on. Craftsman tools are a joke." No? Why not?
Results matter. Use the tools that work for you. If LR has some feature you can't live without, use it.
Quick Question
What makes software good?
a) Pros use it
b) It costs a lot of money
c) It has a lot of features
d) It does what you need to do as quickly and as easily as possible
The ONLY answer I care about is D. Maybe your needs are different.
I don't care what DAM anyone else uses.
I only care what it costs when I pay for it, not to brag about how much I spent. Free is the best price to me, and I don't care if people "won't take my software seriously because it is so cheap" as long as they appreciate my work.
I only care about features I need.
I am not saying Photos is the best software ever, but I am a bit frustrated by misinformation be spouted out by people who clearly never tried using it. Just last week I heard how "Photos can't import RAW images." Or really? Once I demonstrated that, it was "Photos automatically converts them to .jpgs, but it doesn't STORE RAW."
At least have the courage to TRY (really try) software before making a decision or you really are sheeple. I don't at all consider myself a Photos expert, but >95% of the complaints I hear about Photos are utter nonsense.
