I haven’t been able to find a way to delete an individual photo from a group of photos uploaded with one observation. Is it possible to do this without removing the entire observation and all the photos ?

With the observation opened you can click on “Edit” on the upper right screen. In the next screen you can deselect any of the photos and click on “Save observation”

Another way to do it is click on the white `i` symbol at the bottom of the photo, and then click Delete Photo (in the **Actions** section on the right).

Thanks guys. I discovered the info icon method just before checking back here, but had already succeeded in the deselect photo in edit mode without realising it earlier on.
