I just added User Photo Albums to my site (I already have Image Galleries) and I'm wondering what exactly the difference is between the two modules.

I have activated User Photo Albums to work with my quota and see it now in my profile but I'm not sure what to do with it. There is no "+" create button when I'm on the module within my profile . . . only just 2 buttons: "set item order" and "configure these buttons and the order they appear in".

Any help will be appreciated!

Think 'PlayLists' (for that is what the PhotoAlbum module is based on!!).
As a visitor or user wanders around your site looking a uploaded images, if he sees one he likes, there will be a hover-over button that if he clicks on, will add that album to an album of his choice. Then, at a later date, from his profile he can view his Photo Albums and enjoy the images again.

One more question @paul. How do I allow just the user to see the photo albums that they create and not everyone that goes to their profile? If I click "Show Photo Albums" in the quota config it shows to everyone. I would like to find a way to make it private (trying to make it become more of an "Idea Book" sort of like Houzz.com).

Photo Albums are like all other Jamroom items so by default 'public' or controlled by the profile privacy settings. You could edit the photo album templates to make them visible to only the profile owner.

What exactly in the photo album templates would I have to edit to turn off the public settings? @paul

Something like this in the module's item_list.tpl and item_detail.tpl templates perhaps -
{if jrProfile_is_profile_owner($_profile_id)}
  // All the existing template code here
{else}
  // Optionally apologise to the visitor for not being able to see stuff!!
{/if}
