“…if you've turned off iCloud synching, then deleting a photo on your Mac won't propagate to other devices.

However, if you have iCloud synching turned on, the the OS can automatically offload images (and other documents) to iCloud, storing only a thumbnail on your Mac, automatically downloading the full-sized image as needed. This can save a lot of space, with less risk of deleting photos inadvertently.”
