How do I sync iCloud photos to iPad when there are finder synced photos?

Hi SnckZ,

Thanks for the links, I had read those and it still didn't seem to answer my question. I just got off the phone with Apple support and Kim was very helpful. In explaining to me how this works. It appears like all the originals will eventually be loaded on iCloud and I can also choose to have the originals are all loaded onto my Mac: Photos => Preferences => iCloud => Download originals to this Mac. I understand my Finder synchronized photos on my other devices will be deleted and eventually synchronized with the cloud and with the Mac. It is just an extremely slow process.

I will report back here once the process is complete. That will probably not be for several days.

Thanks again SnickZ.

Everything seems to be going as intended, just very slowly. After 36 hours i am just over a quarter of the way through.

Since I used this computer in past to upload the photos to the phone, The tab “sync photos to your device from photos" is checked.  Since I am using iCloud now for photos and continue to use the computer to back-up and synchronize files not on iCloud, do I uncheck this feature? I fear it will screw things up.

Thanks SnickZ

It appears I just needed to be patient, and trusting that it would work as designed.
