Gallery Module: Is there a way to display only certain albums on a page?

I was wondering if there's a way to have only certain albums show on a gallery page.  For example, on the page I linked, I would like to remove the Model Home gallery and have it show on a separate page.  Also, in the Latest News section, there are several posts with Photo Albums (the old module) that I'd like to convert to use the Gallery module.  But I want just the album cover to show and not the whole list of thumbnails and then people can click the album cover and be taken to a new page with the whole list.

I hope I'm making sense....

I don't want to set any of the images to display none.  Maybe I'm not understanding what is discussed in that thread?  ???  I just want the ability to show albums on different pages.  I don't want to be required to show ALL my albums on the gallery page.

Ahh, you need to use the dir="" parameter.
In the first page of the Gallery module you can climb down the Gallery tree.
In the next column you will find the tags you can use to only call one Gallery at the time.

{Gallery dir="a/path/to/your/album"}

Hope this helps,
