Wait, Batch Edit? How does that work?

You can do this by visiting the individual photo or by finding that photo in a gallery or album. In gallery or album view, hover over the photo you want to change to private (or public). You'll see the title of the photo along with a few icons, including a lock. In full detail view, you'll see the photo's privacy on the right side with the rest of the photo info. An unlocked lock indicates a public photo, while a locked one means the photo is private. Click the lock to toggle the privacy setting.

An album is a collection of photos grouped around a theme of your choice. This lets you share many photos with friends or browse your own photos more easily. Albums can be public or private on your albums page.
