Disable the Photo library syncing on the devices you don't want synced.

If you disable that on the phone, no photos will go to iCloud and sync with the Mac and iPad. Or turn off the library on the Mac and iPad.

The problem is now fixed, Apple Care failed to tell Me the most basic step, which I admit, I forgot as well, shut off the iPhone, iPad, and iMac, after the change to upstream loading, and re-boot them so the changes can take place, I did, now no more uploading of pictures to all devices! Now I just need to figure out how to delete pictures from one device without them being deleted from all 3 devices!

thanks for your help!
