Share photos between to Mac's with photostream

Hello I have a problem,

I want to share my photo's with photostream between two Mac's. If I add a new Pic an Mac A iPhoto add this picture in his photostream folder but on Mac B I can view the picture only in the photostream folder but the photo doesn't downloaded. If I do the same with the iPhone and not with Mac A the photo were downloaded.

So my question what can I do that iPhoto download photos from photostream in another iPhoto?

I use a MacMini (late 2009) with 10.8.2, MacBookPro (mid 2011) with 10.8.2 and use at both Mac's iPhoto 11

iPhoto '11, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

full instructions for PS are here - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

you can add photos from PS to a Mac by one of two ways - drag them from the PS section to an event to import to the Mac - or in the iPhoto preferences check the preference to automatically imoport new photos

Thank for the quick answer. With the drap from the photostream works it. But it isn't great to do the drop operation always.

In the iPhoto preferences all checkboxes are enabled. But the automatic download works only if I add an picture on my iphone. and not if i add an photo I iphoto on a mac.

I do not have multiple Macs to test but I see no documentation to indicate that photos added from the Mac are any different that photos added from an IOS device. Where did you find this information?
