Does iPad/iCloud photo resolution setting apply to computer imports?

My iPad / iCloud settings are to store the higher quality original photo in iCloud while the iPad automatically, in the background, makes a second smaller version for local storage optimised for the iPad. This is a setting on the iPad. Does this function still apply when I import from a computer?

I read that if I use the Camera Connection Kit to load photos directly from my camera to the iPad, that the iPad "modifies/reduces" the resolution of the jpeg (if they were taken with a high res camera).
It doesn't.
The original file from the camera is copied to the iPad and it is not modified.
When you connect the iPad to the computer, you can then copy the original to the computer.
The reason I am concerned is that I want to use my iPad as a repository for my images while I am traveling and then move those photos to my computer for editing when I am back home. BUT if something is going to be lost in this process
Nothing is lost from CCK to iPad to computer.
When syncing photos back to the iPad thru iTunes, the photos get reduced/optimized to 2304 x 1536.

Why does my iCloud photo stream create duplicates of every photo?

Hi,
I have a MacBook Air, on which I store all my photos.
I routinely export my photos from my iOS devices to my MacBook Air, and view whatever photos that I have through photo stream.
On my iOS device and MacBook, though, every photo has a duplicate of itself, even though in the main library I only have one of each photo—no duplicates at all.
Why are duplicates showing up in my iCloud photo stream even though I have no duplicates in the actual library itself?

Hello ambenlandry,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Does the ipad preserve full resolution and exif data on imported photos?

If I import photos to my IPad2 using the 'camera connection kit',
a) How do I transfer those photos to my windows computer ?
b) Does the IPad2 preserve the full resolution and EXIF data etc of the photo ?
Thanks in advance for your answers !

There is help in this article (but basically your computer should see the iPad as a camera and should appear in windows explorer if there are non-synced photos i.e. taken with the iPad, transferred via CCK, or saved from emails/websites etc) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
And, yes, the full photo and it's info is stored/copied i.e. they are the same as on the memory card.

Does iPad change the resolution of a high res photo?

I read that if I use the Camera Connection Kit to load photos directly from my camera to the iPad, that the iPad "modifies/reduces" the resolution of the jpeg (if they were taken with a high res camera).
Anyone know if this is really true? And if yes, what the "impact" might be?
The reason I am concerned is that I want to use my iPad as a repository for my images while I am traveling and then move those photos to my computer for editing when I am back home. BUT if something is going to be lost in this process, I should reconsider.
Thanks.

How does iPad store photos when connected to Windows?

I've recently upgraded to iPad2. A friend is interested in buying my original iPad 32gb because she loves iPhoto and would like to move her current 10 gb photo library into it. Uploading new photos from her camera to the iPad is easy with the card reader. But how could she handle backup of photo files going forward since she works in the Windows world and her primary OS is Windows 7?
I know that when I upload pictures to the iPad in the field and then connect the iPad to my computer at home the Image Capture program asks me if I want to import the photos and where to put them. Does a similar event take place when using Windows?

Yes - the windows camera wizard should open : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . Or they can be manually copied from the iPad as it will appear as a 'camera' in windows explorer (in a similar way to how a memory card in a card reader would).

How does iPad handle photo sync / email re-size?

Hi Everyone..
I have a photo on my computer which is 3.0megabytes in size. I sync this photo to my iPad2.
All is good.
Now when I go to email this photo from my iPad, it seems to show up as 516k..
What is going on? Is the iPad shrinking a 3.0 megabyte photo down to 516k to email?
Or
Is the iPad / iTunes shrinking it down to 516k when my computer originally synced it with my iPad, and therefore
the photo resides on my iPad as a 516k file?
I'm confused.
-Frank

Hi and thanks for yoru response -
What you're saying seems to be the case with the iPhone but not the iPad.
Unless I'm missing something, there is no option to select a size that I see.. Not like on the iPhone where it says 'Small, Medium, Large, Original'..
Am using the latest iOS

Does FCP Reduce Photo Resolution?

When I import an image into FCPX, the inspector shows its scale to be 100%, but the image fits in the window. If I want the image to be a little larger so I can use a Ken Burns effect, am I getting what I ask for? Also, I'm thinking of importing a 4K resolution video file (DSLR timelapse) and using the same effect on it (and so have the same question regarding video files).
Thanks,
Lawrence

Thanks Tom,
As always, you are the man in "the know." Unchecking spatial conform does show that the image is indeed larger than the screen. I appreciate your time!

HT6378 How to upload iPhoto library into iCloud Photo library?

Hi,
I am having a MBP mid 2012 w/ Yosemite along w/ iPhone and iPad, all running 8.1. After having upgraded all devices to latest version, I wonder how do you get now the Mac iPhoto library into iCloud Photo library? iCloud Photo Library setting has been enabled on all devices.
On the iCloud, All Photos folder just shows a fraction of what's on my Mac iPhoto library, probably the most recent pictures I have taken and there's no sign of any automatic uploading as suggested by all Apple Ads...
Thanks

After having upgraded all devices to latest version, I wonder how do you get now the Mac iPhoto library into iCloud Photo library? iCloud Photo Library setting has been enabled on all devices.
iPhoto on your Mac is not supposed to work with iCloud Photo Library. The new "Photos" app for the mac will be able to do it. The release of this app has been announced for "Early next year".
For now, only your mobile devices can upload to iCloud Photo Library. So you have to upload your photos to the mobile devices to get them into iCloud Photo Library Beta.
That is not easy, because you cannot upload from your iPhoto library to your iOS 8 devices using iTunes with iCloud Photo Library Beta enabled on the device. It will disable syncing photos with iTunes. As long as you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta, mail the Photos to your devices or upload using Photo Stream.

HT6378 How to copy iPhoto albums to iCloud Photo Library?

I have several years of photos in my iPhoto library. How do I copy these into iCloud Photo Library, retaining all my albums? I don't want to just copy all the photos without keeping my organization.

ICloud Photo Library won't sync all photos

I've enabled iCloud Photo Library on my Macs & iOS devices... and have noticed that all my photos are not being sync'ed to iCloud... and the ones in iCloud are not being sync'ed to all my devices. (I'm running Mac OS X 10.10.3 on the Macs and iOS 8.3 on the iPad/iPhone.)
In my master Library on my iMac, I have 20,233 Photos and 344 Videos. According to the Photos app, all have been uploaded to iCloud.
However, according to iCloud - only about half of those photos are uploaded.
(I have plenty of storage on iCloud... I have paid for 200GB and am only using about 40GB.)
On my Macbook - I started the Photos app with an empty photo library, and then turned on iCloud Photo Library. On that computer, it reports a different number of photos - 9,923 photos. And, it too is supposedly "updated completely"
When I browse the Photos on an iOS device, it's about the same as the MacBook - but not exactly.
Anyone have any ideas here? I would expect all the photos from the iMac to show up on all devices.
Is there a log file somewhere I can examine to understand what is being uploaded and what isn't?
Thanks!

I managed to fix the problem articulated above. I think only photos that are copied into your Photos Library can be synced via iCloud. And, the approximately ~10,000 photos missing from iCloud were not in my Library.
On the iMac Photos Library, I selected all the photos (Cmd-A) and choose File->Consolidate from the menu... and this popup emerges:
I clicked "Copy" which apparently copies all the original images from my Pictures folder into the iCloud Library itself. Once this was done ... it uploaded missing files. Now - on all my devices I see the exact same number of photos and videos.

How do I upload photos from PC onto the icloud photo library?

Hi. I have IOS 8.1 on my Apple devices (iphone and ipad). iCloud Photo Library is enabled on my devices and PC (iCloud.com).
The photos taken on these devices has uploaded to ICloud Photo Library into my cloud storage.
I want to also upload my photos taken by various cameras and stored on my PC (old photos).into the cloud for these t be available in the Library. I use Windows 7
How do I do this?

I have this problem too. Photo stream works fine on iPhone+iPad, but the photos are never loaded to my PC (Win 8.1). My shared folders works fine on iOS and PC, but not My photo stram.
In the beginning, a couple of years ago, it work, but not now (2014).
All iOS are updated, and PC-iCloud software/panel is Active, and Photo stream is activated.
What to do??
Reset all streams on PC? I tried, no result.
I can understand that it takes time to reload all Pictures from iCload to my PC, but I wait Days, weeks...

What's happening here: iCloud Photos preparing photos for 'Photos' app?

This morning I came back from a weekend trip to Prague, where I took a number of photos with my iPhone 6. On my Mac I fired up iCloud Photos to see if everything was imported properly. That was about an hour ago. Since then I am presented with this screen, saying something like:
"Welcome to Photos app.
With Photos app you may save your whole iCloud Photo Library ...
Preparing photos ... This may take a few minutes.
... will be continued when you leave iCloud.com."
However, with Yosemite 10.10.2 I don't have the new Photos app for Mac on my iMac!
Now what is happening here?

I even liked Apples error messages , because most of them were so helpful ... But now the smart guys at Apple seem to be following a more obfuscating strategy, at least sometimes.
I suspect the maintenance work on iCloud Photo Library this weekend has been in preparation for the big life event today - then all will be revealed: http://www.apple.com/live/

How can I stop iCloud photo from looping a failed photo upload?

My mother has an iMac that was mysteriously losing HD space. It turns out that the process called iCloud Photo evidently was trying and failing to upload a corrupt photo that I had inadvertently put in her iPhoto app. Every few seconds a copy of the photo was appearing in the folder named com.apple.photostream-agent. There were 22,000 copies of this photo.
With each failed photo upload attempt, these errors also were logged in console:
1/4/15 7:50:57.709 PM com.apple.photostream-agent[343]: [publisher:didEncounterError:publishingAssetCollections:] Failed to upload asset uqzx6U1gTAi5HumqNsH3YA
1/4/15 7:50:57.808 PM com.apple.photostream-agent[343]: SQL operation failed with code 11
I deleted the photos and restored the HD space after killing the iCloud Photo process in Activity Monitor. Then I removed the photo out of iPhoto.
The problem is that should iCloud Photo restart, say, through a computer restart, the problem starts all over again. Apparently removing the photo from iPhoto did not do the trick.
How can I get iCloud Photo to stop trying to upload this photo?

The problem is that should iCloud Photo restart, say, through a computer restart, the problem starts all over again. Apparently removing the photo from iPhoto did not do the trick.
Did you delete the corrupted photo from its event and from My Photo Stream as well? Have you deleted the photo completely by emptying iPhoto's Trash and the System Trash?
You could also try to delete the photos from the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub/
That will remove the temporary copy of "My Photo Stream" on the Mac from the user library.
The user library is hidden by default. To open the hidden User Library:
Use the Finder's "Go" menu.
Click "Go", then hold down the options key, until you are seeing "Library" in the drop down menu appear and click it.
In the Finder window that will open navigate to the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub/.

ICloud Photo Library won't upload pics from iPhone

Hi all,
So I think it might have been with the 8.3 update, but for some reason any new pics taken on my iPhone will not upload to my iCloud Photo Library. I've tried turning off/on iCloud Photo Library, syncing with my computer, etc. but nothing has helped. Anyone else struggling with this/have a solution getting your pics to sync between devices? Thanks!

I have the same issue. These are my findings so far:

I will be updating that post as I discover more.
