    If you use iCloud photo library all the photos you delete a device will be deleted to iCloud and all other devices that are connected to this library to iCloud. The iCloud design library should synchronize all changes, including deletions, to all devices. You can reduce the storage space required on your phone by selecting settings > iCloud > Photos > optimize iPhone storage.

  • Deleting the photos off phone but not out of the clouds

    Is it possible to delete pictures on an iPhone without deleting them also out of iCloud/Photos?  I tried to turn off the photo stream, but it does not work.

    If my phone is backed up via icloud, can I delete my photos from my phone to free up storage capacity?

    Use iCloud photo library? Is that what you mean? If you are, what you remove from the appliance will remove your library of Photos that are stored in iCloud.

  • How to restore pictures that have been deleted from Lightroom, but not removed from the 'drive '?

    How to restore pictures that have been deleted from Lightroom, but not removed from the 'drive '? Also, how can I restore photos after saving Lightroom. I started to remove some files and it removed ALL of them! I chose the option "cancel delete files" and them brought back, she says they are all "missing or offline. I tried to 'find' a different folder and it deleted the folder all together and now I don't know where he is. Help, please!

    How to restore pictures that have been deleted from Lightroom, but not removed from the 'drive '?

    You need a backup of your Lightroom catalog file before deleting the photos made. You have such a backup? If so, find the backup catalog, open it (double click on it) and then search for the photos you want and select them and then file-> export catalogue; Then go to your original catalog file, open it and select file-> import from another catalog and points to the catalog that you just exported.

    If you do not have a backup of your catalog file, then the only thing you can do is to import the photos again, and Lightroom will treat them as totally new photos with no editing and no metadata provided by the user.

    Moreover, the idea of importing photos into Lightroom and then later removing them to Lightroom should is limited to photos you will EVER want such a photos that are so overexposed or underexposed or blurred that they are essentially useless. The photos that you care enough to run a task on (including editing) should never be removed from Lightroom.

    Also, how can I restore photos after saving Lightroom.

    Is this the same problem as above, or another?

    I chose the option "cancel delete files" and them brought back, she says they are all "missing or offline.

    Is it possible that you actually deleted pictures from the hard disk, as well as from Lightroom? Anyway, Lightroom cannot find the photos and you first need to find photos on your hard drives and then direct Lightroom to the location of the photo on your hard drive, using these instructions Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

    Hello Sarika

    Thanks for your help.

    It's not that simple I thought he'd be when I used your method that whenever I tried to uncheck 'Use graphics processor' Lightroom 6 crashed.

    At least you put me on the right track and I persevered and found the file relevant agprefs of Lightroom web help and followed the instructions to change manually.

    I have changed two files with the same name but stored in different locations.

    Everything works fine now.

    Thank you once again.

  • How to remove a photo from an album shared iCloud without remove it from the camera

    Hello

    I use an iPhone with iOS 9.2.1 6s

    I'm trying to remove some photos in an album of iCloud shared with my sister, but every time I clear a photo she it removes also of my camera.

    I want to keep the image on my phone that I don't want the image in the shared folder over.

    How can I remove the album image, but still keep it on my phone?

    All I can think is that you're doing (or do not do, if any) something different from what you think you are. Photos in the camera are not the same as those in a shared album photos, they are 2 separate elements, a delete will not delete both.

    Make sure the photo you want to delete is actually in a shared album and not the album photo streams, make sure of one) have a camera and b) is where you want the other image.

  • My library 'Photos' of Mac does not appear in the menu of left iMovie.

    My library 'Photos' of Mac does not appear in the menu of left iMovie.

    What version of iMovie using you?  Only iMovie 10.x.x can view the photo library. Older versions of iMovie are incompatible.

    My library 'Photos' of Mac does not appear in the menu of left iMovie.

    The library never showed?  Check if your library currentPhotos is attached to the photo library of the system.

    Pictures of launch and open the preferences. The button "use as system library" must be grey, as shown in this screenshot. If the button is gray, click it, and then restart iMovie and Photos or restart your Mac.

    It may take some time after you set up your library of Photos, before it becomes visible in the media browser.  Photos needs to create previews, and's done it by background processes, let it run overnight.

    If the library does not appear, repair the photo library, as described here: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/index.html#/pht6be18f93

    Is your photo library a library of iCloud? Fix library will be to download again to iCloud. Fix it only as a last resort.
