What does this mean? Photos synced from finder will be removed.
I want to have all my photos both on iCloud and my iPad. How do I do this?

Question marked as
There are two syncing methods to transfer photos from a computer to your iPad or iPhone,
- The manual syncing to transfer selected albums to the mobile device, either with iTunes on a PC or with the Finder on the Mac as described here: Sync photos between your Mac and iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support (UK)
- Or the syncing of your complete Photos Library with iCloud Photos. Set up and use iCloud Photos
These two methods are mutually exclusive. If you switch from the manual syncing to the syncing with iCloud, the manually synced items will be removed from your iPad. But all items from your Photos Library on your Mac will appear in iCloud and on your iPad as well. iCloud Photos will keep the Photos Libraries on all your synced devices identical. It i very convenient. A photo you import on any of your devices will appear on all devices. Any album or folder you create on any device will appear on all devices, Any adjustments or captions or faces you add will be updated on all devices.
