Shared albums VS normal albums

• Hi,

am I presuming correctly that:

1 - standard albums are logical, e.g. you add your photos to them (basically a keyword), not copy the photos

2 - shared albums are physical, e.g. you copy your photos into them

3 - if you alter/delete your photo it gets altered/deleted in/from your albums, however, if you add your photo to a shared album and then alter or delete the original, the photo in the shared folder stays the same?

Thanks.

1 - No, it's not a keyword but a link to the original file. This way one image can be in multiple albums, projects and only have one copy in the library.

2 - essentially correct as the shared album is stored online on Apple's servers.

3 - correct.
