download an app called gallery excluder from the play store
it gives you the ability to choose which folders to exclude/view in the gallery app
Put a .nomedia file in a folder to prevent it from beeing scanned

Or something to lock the current photo app?
Thanks.
I just saw two in the market...sexting vault was one I think. Can't remember the other.
PhotoVault works good. You can hide individual pics, they wont show up in your stock gallery. Have to sign in w/ a password in the app to see the blocked pics....
I recommend photovault "sextingvault" just sounds suspicious. Its the same app. But better name.

The Easy way to hide photos is to mount the sdcard to your computer or use Astro or EStrongs File Explorer and just move all the photos you want hidden to another folder on the sdcard and name the folder .Whatever
Just put a Period . in front of the folder name and the Gallery app will not look for photo's in that folder so it hides them.
All you have to do is navigate to the folder with Astro etc and then view the photos from there.
This is how i hide photo's as most people are not going to go using a file explorer to go find photo's

The absolute easiest and probably best gallery app available is quickpic. It has just what you are looking for.
You can also make any folder hidden by adding * before the folder name.

Audio Manager (Hide it pro). Its awesome! It hides pictures, apps, music, and it even locks any apps you want. Best part, is that the app disguises itself as a volume controller app. Check it out.

I just downloaded "Photo Vault" from the market for $1 to do exactly this. It works great. You can even encrypt photos from the main picture folder without having to apply to the others.
Photovault is great, or you can just use astro or some other file browser to rename the folder and put a ". " in front of the name. In Linux this makes the file /folder hidden...
I prefer photovault myself though, out of the available apps.

LOL, that's exactly what I need it for
Exactly.. she likes the pics I take and now video.... just my friends don't need to see....trying to convert them from iPhone so I let them play with my phone.
Also some times my family want to see pics I take from time to time(just not them pics)
I tried placing I'm a new folder buy the phone searches for all media any folder... go the same with music. All the sounds from asphalt 3d was playing in my shuffle mix last night. Man that sucks

This really needs to be stickied this is like the 4th time I've said this:
Open notepad and save an empty file with the file type set to all and the name ".nomedia" without quotes and with the period. Then place it in the folder where you don't want the gallery or music player (media scanner) to look.
Same problem
My reason for excluding folders is much different. I have music stored on my card. These music folders include album art. This really clogs up the Gallery.
It looks like the ".nomedia" resolution will not solve this.

I'm having this exact issue myself.
I really like the samsung gallery, but their are no settings to tweak...
When I long click on a pic and download it it is saved on my sd card....
When I try and open it with gallery it causes gallery to force close...all my camera pics work fine
Any clue why this happens?
Mine did that,i updated media files on card after a download was made and that cleared it up.

I have been using my infuse for about a month now, coming from using iphone since it came out long ago.
One of the most annoying things i have noticed is when I try to see a pic or a video using the default gallery app, it shows all the folders with images eg.music albums, is there an app or a way of just accessing the camera folder only?
Thanks .

Copy a blank text file with the file name ".nomedia" into each folder you don't want to appear in the gallery.
I've been using Quickpic from the market on my cappy instead of the gallery for a while now. Really like it and you can hide or exclude certain folders. it's a bit faster than the stock gallery (at least on the cappy anyway).
I think there may be a way to keep the gallery from looking in certain folders similar to how you can block sound files from music players (put a .nomedia file or something like that in the folder you don't want).

why don't you try? of all 1500 , copy to your sd card just 500 and see how it goes , if everything is okey after that try with 1000 pictures after that with 1200 etc.. and you will find out how much is enough
Ok friend, I will try this. But many folder in gallery such as screenshot, download, camerashot, etc until 9 folder, will be effect in gallery? That folder build self by application.
