Mixture of resolutions using iCloud

SO, I signed to iCloud for Photos and have uploaded my 22 000 photographs.

ON most of my devices, I chose versions low-resolution to store on them.

I want to be able to do is to have some photographs on my devices at full resolution, maybe some albums or Favorites.

so I can show them to people where there is no wifi. (Even with decent wifi it's frustrating wait for versions full resolution to appear.)

I've looked everywhere for info about this without success.

I'm guessing and fearing that it is not possible to mix resolutions...

Thank you.

No, you can only count on your good luck.

Open and edit the pictures you want at a full resolution while you are still connected to the Wi - Fi and have a lot of free storage space.  Will download the originals, and they will remain for a while.  But he is appealed to predict when they will be deleted again.

  • Is there an optimal resolution for iCloud sharing Photos

    Is there an optimal resolution for iCloud Photos sharing on computers, iPad and Apple TV?

    I want to scan photo album my grandparents to share with my friends and family. I scanned a few pages of test at 3200 x 2000 pixels. They have look great on my Mac and look great on an iPad also. I want to future proof them for 4 k and recent televisions.

    Is the size of 3200 x 2000 pixels too small, too large or OK?

    If you want to transfer photos using iCloud shared Albums, photo sharing, they will be transferred from smaller - the edge long will be at maximum 2048 pixels, unless they are panoramic.

    I would scan the photos to a pixel size you want to keep for reference, so you can print them in a format you like - 4000 x 3000 pixels or more, and when you share with iCloud, sharing photos they will be slightly reduced in any way.

    It seems you want to use iCloud photo library as an archive of photos. It was not intended for this use.

    iCloud Photo library FAQ - Apple Support

    It is designed to allow you to have full access to your library without having to choose which photos and videos you store on which devices because it connects to your library using iCloud to all your devices, you registered this service. You can choose the option to Optimize Storage iPhone, which will automatically replace your photos in full resolution with optimized for your phone free storage.  Such use allows to my 64 GB iPhone store more 18 000 photos and 877 videos with fast access on my iPhone and elsewhere, while occupying only 4.8 GB on my physical device. The library full resolution resumes of more than 112 GB of storage which I can access in iCloud.com, on my computer, or by requesting the download of contents of high resolution on my iPhone with that I will make.

    Otherwise, if this does not work for you, you can use other services, such as Dropbox, archive your library, so you can completely remove the photos from your iPhone. If you deleted pictures from your iPhone now, they would delete the iCloud photo library so that he be kept in sync as your Contacts or Notes.

  • How to use iCloud in the image of the host for forum messages?

    I've just upgraded my Aperture library to Photos and spent three weeks to download all my photos on the cloud.  Now that they are on the rise in the cloud, I was wondering if I can use iCloud to host images for posting on internet forums and others?  Many of them will not directly let you download a picture, a link just here where she is already hosted (using the [IMG] tags).  In the past I had used SmugMug for this, but it seems silly to pay two subscriptions for the pictures of clouds (my library is big enough I'll have to pay Apple a monthly fee for additional storage space).

    I guess the way to proceed is to implement a shared Album and set it on the Public website.  It doesn't seem to be an option in the Photos app or site generated, to set the resolution of the images related to.  Any suggestions?

    Also: If you are going to edit the original photo, the shared up-to-date automatically version?  In my quick test convert the picture black white & in my pictures library does not change appearance of the image in the shared Album.  Sounds strange because it suggests Apple organize two versions of the image - one for me and one for sharing.  Surely, who double their storage needs?  If the photos are not synchronized, I might be better off just export those I want to publish on Flikr, or something similar (but free), which is correctly set up for what I'm trying to do.

    Thank you

    Yes.  It is the only way to share image files.

    The resolution is automatically set. iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ - Apple Support

    iCloud, photo sharing supports most of the formats RAW, TIFF, PNG, and JPEG photo. Once shared, pictures taken with your standard devices, reflex, or iOS devices will be up to 2048 pixels on the long edge. Panoramic photos can be up to 5400 pixels wide.

    Also: If you are going to edit the original photo, the shared up-to-date automatically version?  In my quick test convert the picture black white & in my pictures library does not change appearance of the image in the shared Album.

    No, you need to simply share the edited again version and remove the old version of the shared album.

    Sounds strange because it suggests Apple organize two versions of the image - one for me and one for sharing.  Surely, who double their storage needs?

    Shared albums use a different part of your library to iCloud iCloud. The storage of shared photos does not count against your iCloud subscription, but it is limited, see: iCloud: My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing limit

  • How to use iCloud

    HI, please help a total techaphobe. I need to store my photos in iCloud (that is already installed on my iPad, I have Apple ID n all). I tried to select the photos, but there is no option, then save in the cloud. Perhaps they are there already as the AutoSave is enabled, in which case, I need to have access to make sure that there so I can remove from iPad. There is nothing in "iCloud Drive" (I have no idea what Drive is in iCloud). All I can find on the line is either too complicated (it can not be that complicated) try to put myself in place (which I am already), or is completely irrelevant, even the things in apple support. I'm sure it's there somewhere, but it seems that I have to trawl through so much, I hope one of us guys can help me with a frank explanation...

    Go to iCloud.com on a browser and click the Photos app to see if your photos are indeed already in iCloud.  You can also check the Photos app on your iPad as well.

    Another thing to note, you can't delete photos from your iPad, because, unfortunately, is not how iCloud works.  It's a synchronization service and not an archival.  There is not your traditional cloud based.  Which means that it syncs your data on all of your devices that have them at your disposal.  Remove a device and it went on all devices.

    Hope that helps.

  • Should I Photostream if I use iCloud photo library

    Hi, I use iCloud library on my MBP, two iPhones and iPad and I still active Photostream.

    I'll try to find our knowledge if I need Photostream as well as use iCloud.  I have more than enough storage for the moment in the cloud then from what I can tell Photostream is not something that would fail me if I turned it off.  At the same time, I can't find a definitive answer anywhere!

    Grateful that if ever I decide to stop using the cloud, I can turn Photostream for my last few thousand photos.

    I also try to work if there is anyway that I can reduce the amount of space on my iPhone which currently takes about 13 GB of photo library.

    Any help would be welcome.

    Thank you

    If you do not use my Photo Stream, turn off all devices.

    You need my photo only, stream if you also use older devices with iOS 7 or more, which can not support iCloud photo library. But if all your devices are set to synchronize with iCloud photo library, you don't need my photo stream. It might even cause problems.

  • Storage of original photos of full resolution in iCloud and IMac

    Hi all.

    I have what I think, it is a very simple question, but for the life of me cannot find a definitive answer.

    I have a librurary of photo on my iMac. (don't have not yet updated for sierra)

    I would like to support this thesis / store the originals in ICloud AND keep them on my mac.

    SO I think that the obvious thing to do is select "optimize storage" in the settings of cloud photo which clearly says that they will be in the cloud and the computer. But here's the question...

    If my IMac is low on space will start serving the original photos so that they are FAIR to Icloud?

    If so, what is the threshold of how much space it starts to do this?

    and if I recover my space again once on the iMac will be the original re download back to my iMac?

    Thanks in advance people.

    You may not use the setting 'Optimize storage' - select ' download originals for the Mac ", if you want than the originals, to be stored locally on the Mac and on iCloud.

    So that 'download originals to the Mac' is activated, all of the original will be kept on your Mac as well.

    It will not start original purge, as long as you keep "Optimize storage disabled".

    Optimization of the storage with the storage management is automatic.  Photos will download the originals if you need and remove, if more storage is needed. You cannot control this.

    I would like to support this thesis / store the originals in ICloud AND keep them on my mac.

    iCloud library is no backup. It is a synchronization service to keep all your libraries on different devices synchronized and updated. If you accidentally delete photo from your library, it is not possible to restore from iCloud. Deletion can be synchronized to all devices and iCloud, so the photo has disappeared everywhere.  You need a backup separate from your library on an external drive, even if you use iCloud photo library.

  • Can I use iCloud for storing photo backup?

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if it is possible to use iCloud as photo backup storage. I have a lot of pictures on my OS 10.7.5 and save them on the cloud. Is this possible? is it possible even with an older version of iPhoto?

    Thank you friends mac colleagues.

    Ana

    No iCloud by itself. You can save the images on iCloud drive, but then they are just images randomly without structure, unless save you them in a kind of files that will help you organize them in the drive.

    If you want to archive and save photos, you should be import on your computer, or you must use a Cloud service of archiving such as Dropbox or Google Photos. It is the only way to store your photos.

    Good luck

  • I need to backup iphone on itunes if I use icloud

    Thank you!

    The photos full size will always go to the cloud. They also remain on (or download) your Mac depends on if 'Download this Mac originals' or 'Optimize Mac storage' is ticked in Photos > Preferences > iCloud. If it is enabled, it also depends on how much storage is available on your Mac.

  • I have reset 6 and restored iphone using icloud. I can not existing photos of text/email.

    I have reset my iphone 6 and restored using icloud. I was able to recover everything. My question is, I can not existing pictures of text/mail, but if I was taking a new image, I can't text/mail those. My system is iOS9.3.5. Any help?

    A backup includes not pictures. He doesn't understand what is in your film album, which has been restored.

    I guess that all other images have not yet been synchronized from your computer, or downloaded from iCloud photo library, depending on the method that you use.
