Q: Create a subset of photos from iCloud Photo Library....
I am using iCloud Photo library, which is OK but burdensome.
Is there a way to define a subset of photos from this library to have on my iPhone as opposed to having everything on my iPhone?
Several issues from my point of view;
- I don't want to wade through all my photos on my iPhone, I can easily select ~30% of all my photos that I want available
- Currently, photos on my iPhone is consuming 11GB of memory, way too much
- I know I can create a new system library with a limited number of photos, but find managing multiple libraries a real pain
Any suggestions are welcome
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Using iCloud Photo Library is purely optional. To reduce amount of storage space used on your iPhone, set it Photos to use an Optimized local library.
If you opt not to turn iCPL on, use iTunes to select and sync what you want to keep on the iPhone. Turn My Photo Stream on to automatically copy new images from the iPhone to your computer.
