Q: Photos app

Hi,

 

Is there an online user manual which features all the do's and font's for the Photos app?

 

I have recently upgraded to El Capitan and now using Photos instead of iPhoto. Just trying to get my head around filing, storage, etc.

 

Also, if I am using iCloud Drive and delete pictures from my iPhone, will they also be deleted from my computer (Photos app)?

 

Thanks.

    Hi, sunflowers02.  

     

    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  

     

    I understand you have some questions about the new Photos application and managing your iCloud Photo Library.  If you delete photos from any device using iCloud Photo Library, it will delete for all other devices associate with this iCloud account.  

     

    How do I delete photos and videos from a device using iCloud Photo Library?

    If you want to remove photos and videos from all your iOS devices, Mac, and iCloud.com, you can delete them in the Photos app. 

    When you delete a photo or video from your Photos app, it will also delete from your iCloud Photo Library and iCloud storage. You can recover your photos and videos from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days.

    Here are the basics regarding the transition from our other photo management software to Photos for Mac.  

     

    Get started with Photos for OS X

     

    Cheers

    No - iCloud Drive has nothing to do with Photos - the only iCloud services Photos uses are iCloud Photo Library, iCloud Photos Sharing and MyPhotoStream

     

    If you use iCloud Photo Library then you have a single library for all devices and any change made on any device is made on all devices including additions, deletions and edits
