[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1647678"] Events, like Faces, Places and so forth, are just different ways of looking at the original photos. They are not copies. Nor is the photo in the album you created. Again, it's just a pointer to the master working photo as seen in Events (the default view) or Photos. If you deleted a photo from an album, it only removes it from the album. If you delete the master photo (from Events or Photos) then its deleted from any albums you have it in. So--- I have the album containing the photo of Becca... but let's say I want to 'clean up' some big collections of pictures that I am not explicitly using anymore. If I take the photo of Becca in my Camera Roll and throw it away... what happens to the 'copy' in the album I have created? Nothing. Photo Stream automatically archives all its pictures every month. You may notice there are events called "Photo Stream March 2015" or similar. Those are events that are separate from the photo stream, so if you delete a photo in Photo Stream it will no longer appear on any of your iOS devices, but your iPhoto archive of it is safe. There's no real reason to delete anything from Photo Stream anyway -- the pictures "fall off" after 1,000 images, and they are not stored anywhere but in the cloud. Hope that clears things up.
