While playing with i-photo I loaded up several hundred photos before noticing that there seems to be no delete button. Surely I am not expected to delete each picture one at a time by highlighting and pressing delete.

I found no mention on the Apple site or on the help files.

Any advice would be welcome.

Look to the left side of the screen and simply delete the entire roll.

Or select all the ones you want to delete by dragging the curse over them and drag them to the little trash can on the left. Very simple actually.

Why do you want to delete them? iPhoto is designed to store all your pics. You create albums and smart albums for the different types of content, i.e. your porn vs. the baby pics vs. your last vacation. The very concept of iPhoto is to have all your pics there and accessible. I have a mere 1500 pics in my iPhoto.

If I have one complaint with iPhoto it's that putting a pic in an album doesn't actually move it, it's still in the big group with everything else as well as in the album.
