P: Ability to see what Album a photo is in

Can you add in a way to see what album(s) a photo is in. You can do this with classic CC, but not the new cloud CC.

I have LOADS of photos, and after the migration from classic, lots of them are not in albums and are now heaped into on big imported album (because I used my hard drive folders to organise things in Classic.

So, now I have a big tidy-up job on my hands.

Also, it would be great if you could find all photos not in an album.

    Not difficult at all to create a folder  - but you are missing the point of having a filter to find all the non-album assigned photos.  That becomes a chore is you are bringing in photos from different sources and consolidating for first time in LR

    Why is it so difficult to make this (look to the picture below):

    I see this version allows you to see what Albums the photos are in.  That is a good start!  
    What I and others that I can see wanted was to add a filter that shows photos that are NOT in an album.  Hopefully, that can be added next update.

    Yep, it's good Carissa. If we could filter (or a facet.. 'Album: none') to identify those orphans, photos not in an Album, that would be great also!

    Hi Selondon! 

    That's right! You can now access that information with Lightroom CC 1.5, which was released today. Click the ellipses at the top and choose “Check for App Updates.”

    Give the new version a try and let us know your thoughts!

      With the August 2018 release of LrCC 1.5, Album Membership Information has now been implemented.

      Agreed - I use a work-around similar to someone else's suggestion to use stars to note that photos are in albums.  It works for now but a simple filter as you suggested would be best.

      I looked for this within a couple of minutes of using the new Lightroom CC.  It's pretty hard to organise your photos without this.

      Even a simple 'Not in an album' filter would help a lot.

        It is interesting that LR Classic offers this feature but not the Cloud based LR CC!

        I think the reason why this isn't implemented is that you overestimate the ability of your AI and underestimate the OCD of your users and amount of time spent on sorting out things to _their_ liking.

        Please give us the option, otherwise we may as well just rely on AI offered by Google/Apple.
