Hi 11woodchip,


The iCloud Photo Library is actually seperate from the new Photos application, as noted in the following article:


Turn on iCloud Photo Library to access your photos on other Apple devices


If you’d like to use iCloud Photo Library after you upgrade to Photos, you can turn it on in Photos > Preferences > iCloud. Photos and videos from your System Photo Library will begin to upload to iCloud in their full resolution and original format. Photos will estimate the size of your collection and help you select a different iCloud storage plan if needed.


Get started with Photos for OS X - Apple Support

iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
