Quite simply, while you and I could do this, less technical users would not be able to. Also, the work flow could be speeded up quite a bit by, the process would be more transparent and more intuitive (due to the indication shown on the selected images).

While the suggestion was worded in rather technical terms, please think about the underlying use cases. Again, the idea is to allow the user to easily select a potentially large set of images from several albums on which to perform an action. 

The requirements are:

1) Easy selection and de-selection of images.
2) Selection across more than one album/view.
3) The selection is not accidentally lost from a misplaced mouse click.
4) There is feedback on which images are selected when browsing the albums or any other view (they are marked somehow).
5) There is a separate view showing all selected images.
6) In the end the user can perform one or more actions on the selected set of images.


Forget about my indications on a possible implementation if you like.
