Apr 23, 2015 2:31 AM in response to léonieby saparoea2,thanks Leonie. I had the same impression: I started to connect a second computer to the photo library in iCloud, which I quickly stopped. I nevertheless ended up with 400 additional photos in the iCloud library.
In that case it may be better to remove the other libraries before connecting other Macs. Presumably you have to make a new, empty, library and designate that the system library.
