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

Just drag the folder containing the photos onto the Photos icon in the Dock to import them.
