ios - 8 where are the 'camera roll' and 'photostream' albums?

I'm glad that I only tried ios 8 on the iPad 3 (which doesn't have many pictures) before I even thought about downloading it onto my phone. This makes me not even want to consider the iPhone 6. Not with this UI.

Totally agree with you! TOTALLY!

It would just be enough if they would let pleple know what is on the device and what is not.

Apparently now the only way to know if a photo is on the device or is in the stream, it's to go into the single photo and see if there is the possibility to make it as favourite with the HEARTH.

BUT... when you have thousand photos in your gallery... you cant enter each photo and check! There should be a quicker way to go and see!

This is all insane. Apparently, this is what they have in mind for the future. Also as they presented will be for the application on the mac.

A whole pot full of photos. All together.

They think that all together is good.

But it's not.

We are seeing only few pics in recently added folder in folders .. There is no more camera roll exist .. But u can find ur all pics in photos .. U will have to select every pic one by one and will have to move them in folders by creating folder ..

this is a good idea but does this need an extra space to create an album with over 200 photos? i mean if there were 200 photos and they get copied to another album, does these copied photos fill that space, hope i was clear , thanks

We need the Camera Roll back and we need a CLEAR distinction between LOCAL photos and iCloud uploaded ones. We should be able to tell what device made a photo. All photos are NOT created equal, Apple.

We need to be able to show an Info panel for a photo with details - camera, title, file format, aperture, etc.

There is now the search field, but the search options are limited. We cannot even search for the camera make.

i tried that, i moved some photos from "collections" to a new created album, went and checked out, there were same photos in two different albums, that means that the photo was not moved but it was copied to the album i created, my Question is, if there is 1 photo in 2 different albums does that fill the space i have, or its just the size of original photo

Dont worry it won't take too much time .. I moved 1000 pics from photos to folders by making a new folder camera roll 🙂 just select all pics day by day and move to new folder in folder.. After that u can upload ur old camera rolls to facebook too .. Because if u won't move them u can't add ur all camera rolls pics to Facebook or other like whatsapp etc

when u will make move when picture from photos to a new folder u will see that pics in three places

1 albums recent added photos

2 new album made by u

3 Photos

when u will delete a pic from one place it will b delete from every where..

for example

find a pic in photos which u have in recently added photos already and then move that pic to a new folder at albums .. And now delete it.. U will delete this pic from every where ...

REcently added photos only showing 20 % of ur totals pics

and all other pics u can find including recently added in photos .. now if u want to have all the pics in albums u will select all day by day and will move to a new folder and It won't take extra space ..

What I don't get is... they say RECENTLY ADDED is kinda like the Camera Roll.... yet if I take a pic with my iPhone it appears under RECENTLY ADDED on both my iPhone and iPad.

Where is this pic stored?

What if I want it ion my phone but not my iPad.... can I not do that anymore?

AND.... in the past you could clear your CAMERA ROLL to weed out older photos, but then still access them on the PHOTOSTREAM on other devices

I just do not understand this whole new concept at all.... maybe I need a video or something. Frustrating....

On a side note: "…as these devices will loose all access…". A very common spelling mistake, loose means something is not tight. The word you want is lose, as in lost.

Submitted cordially and respectfully.

The problem here remains the loss of distinction between images made ON the device and images MOVED TO the device via iCloud. This causes the user to lose control over the location and origin of the source files making local file management (for space purposes) impossible and cloud management (for copyright purposes and privacy amongst other reasons) also impossible. Apple has remover the user's ability to positively manage the source files in favor of this mixed up mess where images are auto uploaded/download and exist both in the cloud AND on every device. For a pro photographer like me who deals with tens of thousands of images, many of them copywriten, this is an unmitigated disaster. Even if the system had been rolled out intact as Apple had intended it would still be such a messed up way to approach file and cloud management that I'd have to seriously consider abandoning Apple software altogether for the management of my photo library. Clearly this whole approach needs to be re-evaluated and fixed because as it stands right now it is unworkable.

The Photos.app design looks like it wants the usr forget about about file type and storage, and just concentrate on the photos. That is fine, as long as the photo library will provide any necessary metadata relevant for the photo.Only the metadata are missing nearly completelyand the predefined structure is relying completely on capture time and capture location.
