Q: Are photos actually on laptop w new iPhoto?
We have both a cruising sailboat and camper and are literally 100 to 1000 miles from any Cloud source for weeks at a time.
ARE my photos ON my laptop and on my phone when away from the Cloud?
Can they be added to edited etc?
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 7, iOS is 8.1.3

They will be on the laptop and iPhone. However, on the laptop you can select the option to have optimized/smaller versions on in your library and the full sized versions on the iCloud Library
If you enable the iCloud Photo Library you you can select the option to have optimized (smaller) versions on the laptop and the original versions in the iCloud Library online. More on that is described in this Apple document: Get started with Photos for OS X - Apple Support.
