Does "My Photo Stream" feature preserves the full quality of the original photos taken?

I use my iphone's camera almost exclusively in taking pictures. I find the photo stream feature quite handy because unlike in the past, i don't need to manually back up my photos to my PC. But as I saw the size of my camera roll and photo stream in the Usage section in my settings, I found out that the size of each "album" is different.

Photostream photos are NOT the original size.   The originals go into your camera roll, and can be deleted once you transfer to your PC/Mac.

  • HT4906 My computer and iphone have different photos in their photo streams.  How can I make them the same?

    My photo stream on my iPhone 5 has 721 photos in it.  But my photo stream on my macbook air has only 211 photos in it.  The accounts do seem to be sync'd, because when I delete a photo from a stream in one device it gets automtaically deleted in the other device in 2 seconds (works both ways when I delete either from my phone or my mac).
    Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to completely snc them up?
    Thanks!

    The Photo Stream does not really sync. The contents of the Photo Stream (My Photo Stream) for each device will depend on the contents of the camra roll and on the current state of what has been uploaded to iCloud when you turn the Photo Stream on the device. Photo Stream is not meant to be a storage for photos in the cloud, just a transient buffer. If you want a stream of photos, that is the same on each device, set up a shared Photo Stream.

    mlvov,
    I did as you said and went to the icloud control panel on my Windows 8 Laptop to be sure I was looking at the correct folder for my photo stream.  All my "shared" albulms pushed to my Laptop and are up-to-date with the exception of the "photostream" album. If I create a "shared stream album" and place photo's in it on the phone; I can see the photos on my laptop. I dont get it. I had a iphone 4s and had zero isues and now with my new nifty iPhone 5s it doesent work.
    What am I not doing correctly.
    Thanks,
    iPhone, 5s, iOS 7.0.2

  • Photo Stream is only seeing Scan #.jpg, not the Photo Title

    Can anyone tell me how to correct an issue I'm having between our iMac/iPhoto and Photo Stream... I scanned in about 500 photos of the family history and nammed each file with a descriptive text.  However, when I import the photos to the Photo Stream, I only see "Scan 893.jpg" even though iPhoto clearly shows "Bill's Birthday".  I've loaded and re-loaded, still only get a Scan Number in Photo Stream.  In iPhoto I don't even notice a scan # unless I hover the curser over the Info box where "Bill's Birthday" is clearly displayed, an after a few seconds the "Scan 893.jpg" shows up.
    When I started this little project to share with the family, I actually notice the scan numbers coming in only, I had been putting details in the Description sections.  I played around with the File Name/Title and got it to come through the Photo Stream and Apple TV, so I thought I had it resolved... but now none of my family can see the descriptions.  When I look at my own copy of the Photo Stream through iPhoto, I only see Scan Numbers also.
    Thanks!

    Photo Stream only uses the file name, not the title. The title only exist in iPhoto.  To get the title to be used in Photo Stream once must export the file out of iPhoto via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu with the option File Name - User Title option.  Then import the new photos and add them to the Photo Stream.

  • There is a problem with the photo with the filename "null". The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book.

    Absolutely INFURIATING.
    I have spent absolute hours building a photo album for the first year or my sons life. Sorting through quite literally thousands and thousands of images. Got a brilliant looking album using 177 of them.
    Now everytime I try to check out it won't get past page 1 of building the book.
    It says the following "There is a problem with the photo with the filename "null". The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book.".
    The images all look perfect. I have even tried taking them out and re adding the first page images from the library.
    Same problem.
    This is so annoying. So far I have NOT been happy with this iphoto application having nothing but problems with missing thumbnails. Corrupted images. Things that have never happened to me using a windows machine.

    Do the filenames contain special characters, like "ä,ü,..." or white space or are the vry long? Is there anything special about the image format? Try to export the edited versions in that case and reimport it with a different, shorter filename.
    For testing, create a new book with only the images you want to check.
    If this does not fix it, try rebuilding. Depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild the library.

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • I have photos that are rotated within a photo stream created from a project even though the photo displays properly within the project. How can I get the photos to have the proper rotation within the photo stream?

    I have a photo stream that was created from a subset of photo from a rather large Aperature project. Some of the photos show up rotated within the photo stream but are not rotated within the project. Why is this happening and how do I fix the rotation within the photo stream? I do have the latest version of Aperature and have all of the necessary updates applied to my devices used to view the photo stream. The photos do show up rotated within the photo stream segment of Aperature, so I am sure it is not an issue with the output device (iPad and Apple TV). I do know that I cannot edit photos within a photo stream, but no amount of editing within the project allows the photos to be properly rotated within the photo stream. All help would be greatly appreciated.

    That will work, but it is the long way 'round.
    As Frank noted, Book Albums are just specialized Albums.  Albums can show any Image in your Library, regardless of where the Album is located on the Library Inspector, and regardless of which Project contains the Image.  You can put your Albums anywhere (in a Folder called "Books" for example).  You can put Images from anywhere in your Library in any Album.
    The easy way 'round:
    - Make a new Book Album
    - Select Images you may want to put in your Book.  Flag them.
    - Select some more.  Flag them.
    - Go to the "Flagged" container (listed near the top of the Library Inspector), select all, and drag-and-drop them to your Book Album.
    - Repeat as needed, or just drag-and-drop directly into the Book Album.
    Note that you can remove any Image from any Album (including Books) by selecting and hitting the "{Delete}" key.  This _does not remove the Image from the Project that contains it, or from the Library.
    Note, too, that once the Images are in your Book Album, you then put them in the Book you are creating for publication.  The Book Album contains the superset of Images with which you populate the Book itself.  The Book Album also holds the Book.
    A good (imho ) introduction to the parts of Aperture can be found in this short guide I wrote.
    The User Manual is helpful.  Here is
    the chapter on making Books. 
    From that chapter, here is
    the section detailing how to create and populate a Book Album.

  • 2 Photo Stream Folders on iPhone - Why do I have 2 photo stream folders on my iPhone? One is accurate and the other is empty. How do I delete the empty one? The empty folder doesn't allow my photos to be synced with my ipad2.

    I tried disabling the iCloud on my iPhone and ipad2 and re-enabling in hopes elimnating the extra empty folder on my iphone.  Despite disabling the iCloud on my iPhone, the empty Photo Stream folder remained on my iPhone and the other Photo Stream folder with my pictures was removed.  I think because of this empty folder, my iPad isn't being prayed with my photos. Any ideas? Has this happened to anyone else?

    You can uncheck multiple songs by selecting all the songs you want to uncheck, then right-click and choose "uncheck selection".  Also, make sure that you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings or the sync process will ignore your selections.
    You can remove all the photos from your camera roll using Preview on your Mac.  Connect your phone to your Mac, open Preview, go to File>Import from iPhone.  When your photos appear in Preview, select the photos you want to delete, then click on the icon at the bottom showing the red circle with the diagonal line through it (see image below), then click Delete.
    To remove photos from the Photo Stream album on your phone you'll have to either reset Photo Stream (deleting all the photos from iCloud) or turn off Photo Stream on your phone.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Moving photos from photostream to your library just imports them, it doesn't remove it from photostream, therefore photostream won't disappear.
    Photos in photostream can't be edited, you can only edit photos that have been imported from photostream.

  • When i go to photo stream on my apple tv it says the terms of service changed and i can't use it.  please help

    when i go to photo stream on my apple tv it says the terms of service have changed.  it wont let me view the photos.  please help.  where do i go to update the terms of service?

    I haven't seen that screen on my Apple TV's, however I think I may have seen something similar either at iCloud.com or in iPhoto but I don't recall too well, they may be places you might want to try.
    Have you updated your Apple TV to v 5.0, have you tried restarting it.

  • Is there a photo album app that let's you add a photo to an album from the full-screen view of a photo, not the just thumbnail view?

    Is there a photo album app that let's you add a photo to an album from the full-screen view of a photo, not the just the thumbnail view?

    ...It's just really annoying to try to organize photos into an album when you can't see the full screen version of the photo... especially if you have several similar-looking photos, and you can't tell the one you want from looking at 40 thumbnails on an iPhone screen.
