Is there a way to allow users to categorize the pictures into albums while viewing, instead of picking the albums upon upload?  That way, we can have a main upload category, and users move the files while viewing, if they wish..?

Sure: that's what the album keyword feature is for. Allow users to only upload to one specific album (could be their personal gallery). Create several public albums with album keywords assigned to them. Let's look at an example: if your site deals with animals, create an album named "monkeys" and assign the album keyword "monkey" to it. Then create another album named "Horses" and assign the album keyword "horse" to it.
Instruct your users to use the keyword selector then. Take a look at http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/keywords.htm for details.

Interesting - I will look at that.

The actual question I was trying to act is if I can allow the users to move the files they are view to albums, instead of asking it during upload.  So, all uploads regardless will go to one album, and the users actually can categorize all the uploads if they wish..
