How can I save edited photos to the photostream?

Question

When I edit a picture in iPhoto, the photostream in the app shows the edited photo...however it does not truly sync to the photosstream as the photos app on both the iPad and the iPhone show the old picture...any thoughts?

So I just set up an icloud and photostream so I can access my pictures on my laptop (DELL)
but only the new photos are uploading to my photostream and when I select them from the 'photos' app and
go to share, then photostream it want me to choose a contact to send them to, so I don't know how to add them
If you are trying to create a shared stream and don't want to add any subscribers other than yourself, open the Photos app, open the camera roll, tap Select, tap the photos you want to add, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), tap "iCloud" tap "Stream", tap "New Shared Stream", enter a name for the stream, tap Next, then tap Next again without entering an email address, then tap Post.  In other words, you don't have to enter an email address if you aren't inviting anyone else to subscribe to the stream.  As the owner of the shared stream you are automatically subscribed and will find the shared stream on all your devices.

also on my icloud it doesn't havea photostream button so I'm not sure how to access them?
As mentioned, you can't view them on iCloud.com.  You can view the from an iOS device (such as an iPod Touch) by going to the Photos app and looking in the Shared section.  You can view them on your PC by setting up iCloud on it (see https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html), checking Photos on the iCloud control panel, clicking Options next to Photos, and making sure you check both My Photo Stream and Photo Sharing (also note the iCloud photo location beneath this as that is where you will find the photos).
