Can I manage whether app-related files/data/photos are stored locally or in iCloud? iPad2, 16 GB, Wi-Fi only. Purchased increase in iCloud storage to total of 25.0 GB, of which 21.5 GB is shown as available YET, I'm receiving notification an app update cannot be downloaded due to insufficient storage.
iPad 2, iOS 6.1, Wi-Fi only
You cannot use space you bought on iCloud to increase your iPad Storage. It's mainly for backup and data for iWork.
Use other cloud storage like Dropbox, Box.net or Sugarsync.

I interpret your reply as a NO, I cannot manage/direct storage for any of the many iPad apps for photos. What do you use for photos you want secure & private?
I'm going to give you a philosphical answer, so take it for what it's worth. The iPad is not a computer. You might think it is, but it's more of an appliance. It has limitations, one of which you're finding.
You need to offload those excess photos to a real computer for storage and filing. And you need to backup that real computer, if you treasure those photos.
You can use Dropbox, or one of its many imitators to store on the cloud, but if you have that many photos, you need a filing system like iPhoto/Aperture, and probably an editing program like Aperture and Photoshop on a real computer to deal with that many photos.
I use Photo Manager Pro and put my private photos in a passcode protected folder.
