accessing photos in albums in Mac OS when placing an image

Question

I am working on an art book and need to place photos that have been specifically segregated in an album. ID 2025, Mac Sequoia - only the main photo library is accessible. Is there a way to make the albums accessible? I have given ID full disk access.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Hi @Catherine284762306smk,

Thanks for reaching out. At the moment, InDesign on macOS can only access the main Photos library and doesn't display albums inside the Place dialog. I completely understand how valuable this would be for your workflow, and I’m sorry it isn't available right now.

It would be great if you could add this as a feature request on UserVoice here: https://adobe.ly/46jBEIQ. This helps the team prioritize based on feedback, and you'll also be notified of any updates.

In the meantime, if you have more questions or need help with a workaround, let me know. Our experts may also have additional suggestions to share on this topic.

Looking forward to your update.

Abhishek
