    Photos automatically get uploaded to the Photos Library from PhotoStream. Check the Photos Moments view to verify they got copied to the library. They won't be deleted later, unless you use a delete function in the PhotoStream album itself. If you want to remove photos from PhotoStream without deleting them from the Library, use Remove from Album under Image in the menu, or use the delete key on the keyboard.
