    Check your iPhoto events to confirm that your photo stream photos have been added to your library.  (They should be if you checked "Automatic Import" in iPhone>Preferences>Photo Stream.)  You can do this either by looking through your events, or by control-clicking on a photo stream photo to see if it says "Show in Library".  If it does, it has been imported to your library.

     

    Once the photos are in your iPhoto library, you can delete them from your iPad and they will remain on your Mac.
