Q: Excluding photos from Apples Photo iPhone/Mac

I have work photos on my iPhone and MacBook Air. I don't want these added to my Photos library but I don't know how to exclude them.

 

I tried Photos previously but didn't like the "all-in" approach and couldn't see how to exclude items from being synced.

 

Any suggestions appreciated.

MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

    That depends on undisclosed settings

     

    If you use iTunes sync then you sync only wha you say to

     

    If you use iCloud Library or MyPhoto Stream then you can not select wha tot sync - you can have two libraries and only the system library will sync - so you would have work photos in one library that does not sync and personal photos in the other that does
