iPhoto and Events
I am just trying to understand Photo Stream and Events and develop a strategy.
Over the course of a month of taking pictures on my iPhone and on a SLR camera, I will see pictures being uploaded and shared amongst my devices. When I launch iPhoto on my Mac, I assume I should not import the pictures as I will be duplicating the pictures on my Mac's HD.
What I am not clear is that I also seem to have an end of the month "Event" named "<Month>PhotoStream". Will that duplicate all the photos taken during that month? Will there be pictures in Events during the month from PhotoStream and lumped again into the Monthly Photo Stream?
Are both being downloaded onto my Mac HD and safely stored there without risk of being deleted after 30 days or 1,000 pictures uploaded to iCloud?
Or do I have this all wrong as to how this works?
