some pictures of an album should only be accessable for certain users

Hey,

I'm having several albums which mostly contain photos which are supposed to be visible without login (guest), however almost every album contains a few pictures I'd only like to grant access to certain users/groups.
I'm currently handling this by setting the "Who can see those pictures?" to "Friends", however this is a quite suboptimal solution since then:
  Every user is able to watch every picture of every album set to 'Friends'
I'm looking for a possibility to:
  Mark photos in a particular album as 'private' and only grant access to them to certain users/groups
so I can grant access to pictures to people for a certain album.

Basically I'd like to select groups/users within the "Who can see this photo?"-dropdown menu, not just "Friends" and "Family"...
Is sth. like that possible in any way?

I was playing around with sub-albums and its permissions (like sub-albums named "private" and "public"), however that doesn't seem to work (pictures in a sub-album marked as "private" are still associated with the public parent-album and therewith visible and a parent-album can't be private while a sub-album is public).

Thanks a lot in advance!

Cheers

Hi
It's not possible. Maybe one day in many years...

You need to rethink your album organization. Or maybe set a second gallery?

it is possibel, for that i love virtual albums: you can link a picture to more than one album
set ALL Albums to Privat with grant access only to the Admin or to the Admin Group
and then generate albums for the different usergroups, visible ONLY for this group (and the admin)
and then link the photos to the albums (or not)

yes absolutely
you can have :
-admin_part
--album1 (pic101.jpg etc)
--album2 (pic201.jpg etc)
-family (for one or more group or certain users)
--vacation (pic101 pic201 moved here)
etc

That way, you don't use the level of privacy on pictures, but private albums with granted groups/users
