Q: New to Mac - need help with iphoto

Just bought a Mac in May, which has OS X El Capitan. Trying to utilize the full benefits of iPhoto (hope I have that name correct). I want to be able to organize and edit photos mostly. Came from PC world and am admittedly still figuring out my Mac. I have had an iPhone for years so I understand a little bit of it, but still confused. Here are my questions:

 

1. How do I organize my photos into specific folders? I can see where they were imported to, but not sure how to get them into folders for organizing based on categories of events, clients, etc.

 

2. If I want to be able to back them up in iCloud, how do I verify my settings to make sure I'm doing this correctly? I'd like to be able to access them across all my devices if possible (iPhone, Mac, iPad)

 

3. If I delete them in one place, does that mean they are deleted everywhere? (May be a dumb question, but again, I'm still learning.)

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks so much,

EGerdes
