[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1813880, member: 83420"] @Kenny I'm not sure I am answering your question exactly as you stated it, but may I explain how the "ecosystem" works? On every iDevice you own - Leave iCloud Photos Unchecked Check My Photo Stream On your Mac (in Photos > Preferences > iCloud) Check My Photo Stream This will ensure that every time you take a picture with an iDevice, it will remain in that Device's Camera Roll and appear in My Photo Stream in all your other iDevices AND appear on your Mac. If you delete a picture from My PhotoStream on any iDevice, it will remove that picture from My Photo Stream on every iDevice EXCEPT on the iDevice which took the picture (where it will stay in Camera Roll) and EXCEPT on your Mac where it will stay in your photos collection to iCloud. One last thing. On your Mac under the settings I mentioned above, you can Check/Uncheck "iCloud Photo Library" as you desire - this function determines whether you want to store/upload your Mac's entire Library to iCloud. Your choice doesn't change the behaviours that I mentioned above in respect of My Photo Stream/Camera Roll on your iDevices nor does it alter the automatic syncing of them to your Mac - where they will remain. Does that help? Or do you need additional info? Ian [/QUOTE]
