Q: v3.6 yosemite PhotoStream options and upgrade possible?

hi all,

i would like to keep using aperture until i get the time to sort all my images and make sure my database is well organized.

however, i recently ran into an issue with my iPhone where i had 40+ GB of photos on my phone and no room for apps.

so i have downloaded ALL photos from my phone into my database on my mac pro and i would now like to set up photo stream so i can have access to the most recent photos on my phone.

in Preferences > iCloud i am seeing an option to CHECK PhotoStream

1. this will presumably simply allow my phone to access the most recent photos that i downloaded to my computer is that right? i mean, otherwise i would have NO photos on my iPhone.

2. are there other consequences of checking this?

3. i would like to import my photos from my phone to the mac pro database MANUALLY so i can sort them into the appropriate folders.

A. Does "Automatic Import" mean that all photos on my phone are automatically imported to the photo stream database without my having to manually plug in the phone? i mean, i /don't/ want to do this as i would rather just import them manually.

B. what does "Automatic Upload" mean again?

 

RIGHT NOW I AM JUST CHECKING THE PHOTOSTREAM CHECKBOX...

 

also are there any negative consequences to this setup? i know i could re-read the manual on this but i screwed it up so badly the first time i tried to set this up with the manual i don't want to try this without getting some advice first.

 

oh - also, is there an update that i can do from 3.6 or is this the most current version?

 

THANKS

Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

    OK, so i got it when i got iLife.

     

    i wonder is there is a good reason to install it on yosemite if i have it.

     

    i also wonder will photos on OS X just take the place of iPhoto?

     

    i mean, i wonder if there is a reason to get this up and running prior to Photos coming out...
