iPhoto and Events

If you have checked the iPhoto preference to automatically import photos from your PhotoStream (and the fact that you have the "Event" named "<Month>PhotoStream" indicated that have checked this) then photos are being imported into iPhoto and are part of the iPhoto library seperate form your iCloud limited storage - those photos in the event are not connected to your PhotoStream are only controled by iPhoto -you shoujld not import additions copies of them or you will have duplicates in iPhoto

the photos stream in the soruce pane is a way to view photos and are not part of your iPhoto library unless you either maunally improt them or use the preference to automatically import them - the photos in any event are part of your iphoto library

1 - as noted in my first answer there is no connection between PhotoStream and your iPhoto library except you can automatically import photos from PS to your library - adding a photo a a PS form your Mac does not connect that photos to anything - it simply shares if in the PS and any actions taken on the PS photo have no affect on your iPhoto library

2 - same - no connection between PS photos (or shared PS photos) and your iPhoto library - when you share a photo it is not modified by anything you do to yoru iPhoto library and nothoing that is done to the shared photos affects your iPhoto library

they are gone from PS after 1000 or 30 days which ever comes first - they still exist on the source device but no longer exist on hotoStream - PS is not a storage location - it is a way to share and move photos between devices

I want to have my library organised by event where each event is a separate day or date. Is there an easy way to move photographs from the monthly photostream event into such events. So for example I have 6 photographs in the Feb 2014 Photostream event all taken on 16th February. What's the easiest way to move them to a separate event called 16 Feb 2014 which already exists in my event library and contains one video file taken on my iPhone and which got transferred to iPhoto when I connected my phone to my MacBook to transfer the videos.

Thanks

Flag them in the "monthly" event and go to the event you wnat them in, select it and use the Add flagged photos to selected event command

Worked perfectly. Thanks. One other question. I read that videos taken on my phone should be synching to Photostream and this doesn't seem to be happening. Any suggestions why? Should videos taken on my iPhone be synching to the monthly Photostream event in iPhoto?

Thanks

No - MyPhotoStream does not do video

Which photo formats does My Photo Stream support?

My Photo Stream supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. My Photo Stream does not work with video.

Shared PS do i believe

Thanks. I'll try it on a shared photostream.
