Import from Photos - choice of albums to browse and select

Now when I select Photos as the source to import I see my entire photo library on iCloud/Photos. This makes it difficult to work. Can you add the ability to select an album in the Photos servant from Apple?

Regards

    My current workflow looks like this. I use Apple Photos to sync photos and import from my camera. I sold my Mac computer two years ago and I'm trying to completely replace it with an iPadPro - sometimes it doesn't work out.

    A year ago I bought a used Leica M10-R - the Leica Foto application works very well with this camera. This was one of the reasons for parting with Fujifilm after almost 7 years (lack of a reasonable version of the Fuji application and impossibility of quick import via WIFI).
    I turn on WIFI on the body and use the Leica Fotos app to import photos directly into Apple Photos. On short trips (citibreak), when I don't take my iPadPro with me, I use my iPhone. All of them automatically go to the "Leica" album. But thanks to Apple's photo sync between devices, I have the photos available on my iPad when I return. I edit photos either in DarkRoom or Photomator.

    I've been trying Capture One for a few weeks now. And here I have a problem - the inability to choose a specific album ("Leica" or "RAW") when importing to CaptureOne from Apple Photos makes life very difficult :-) because in the photo stream I usually have a mix of photos taken with my phone, camera and videos. The problem I have (I touched on it in another post) is the inability to fully work with Capture One on an external SSD drive - the program's photo library and the photos themselves take up a lot of space on the iPad.
    I will be happy to answer any questions :-)
    Thank You

    Hey 16407370249245 I appreciate your feature request. We acknowledge that this is something very useful to the majority of our users, and it's already in our backlog. To better understand your needs, could you please share what type of photos you typically import from the app? Do you use a card reader to transfer photos from the camera? Thank you! 😊
