My situation is I need to label some photos on multiple albums/folders, but after I put them in one album they will be de-selected, is it possible to keep them selected? Thanks.

Currently photos are de-selected after the following operations:

Archive
Add to album
Private

Photos are stay selected after:

Download
Edit
Share

If you want to label photos from different albums and then put them into one album, you can do the following:

Select all photos from different folders/albums you want to label (If you select photos in one album/folder and then navigate to another album/folder your selection stays)
Click edit on the context menu and label all selected photos
After editing click "add to album" to add all those photos to a new album

Looks like a potential batch edit use case: #271
