How do I import photos to photo stream?

I've finally accepted that Apple are not replacing the old Gallery.
With regard to Photo stream, I think I have worked it out..... you can create albums from within it, but this only works if you take a picture from your iOS device.
Bottom line is, most of the pics I want to keep in albums will not be taken with my iOS device.
So how do I (can I?) import photos in to photo stream?
Please help....

Who shall be able to see your photos? If you use "My Photo Stream", only persons using your AppleID and iCloud account will be seeing the Photos. That is very restrictive. And the PhotoStream does not store your photos for a long time. It only pushes the photos to your other devices.
You can use Shared Photo Streams. That are stored in the cloud and you can invite other iCloud users to view these streams. But they will need MacOS X Mt. Lion to see the stream.  iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams
But if you publish a journal as a webpage to your iCloud homepage, the webpage will be stored in the cloud and you can invite persons to view the webpage. They do not need to sign up for a shared photo stream.
To view your published web journal in a web browser you need to share a link, also to yourself on your windows laptop:
To share a link to your published journal, tap Share Journal and do any of the following:
Send a link in a message: Tap Message, add a recipient, and tap Send.
Tweet a link: Tap Twitter and enter a tweet. Tap Send.
Post a link to Facebook: Tap Facebook and tap Post.
Send an email with a link: Tap Mail, add a recipient, and tap Send.
Copy a link: Tap Copy and paste the link into another app.
Sharing your journal and publishing to Photo Stream may take a long time. Your iPad will not upload to the Cloud, if the battery is low (less then 20%).

    How can I import photos from my iPhone?

    How are you trying? There are two ways: by hooking it up with a USB cord, or by photo streaming.

  • How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto?

    How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto? I have a few different pictures in each library and would like to have all my pictures in both libraries. The library on the external drive is my backup. I would appreciate any help.

    Depends on exactly what you want to do.
    Just move some of the Photos? FIle -> Export from one and export the shots to the Finder. Then import them to the other.

    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Move the photos and all versions and metadata: use iPhoto Library Manager it's the only way to do this while preserving everything. Merge two Libraries into one?
    If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
    Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

  • How do I import photos from my PC to my iPad3 using the latest version on iTunes?

    How do I import photos from my PC to my iPad3 using the latest version on iTunes? The previous version had a 'photos' function in top right of the home screen but this has disappeared from the current version (Dec'12).

    If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you can re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (control-S), which should make it look similar to how it used to look - if you then select the iPad on that sidebar do you then get a Photos tab on the right-hand side ?

  • How do I import photos from Adobe Revel to Photoshop Elements 12?

    I have Photoshop Elements 12 on my PC, and the Adobe Revel app on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet. How do I import photos taken with the tablet and stored in Revel to Elements?

    Don't do any of that. Just export the photos from iPhoto
    File -> Export
    to folders in the Finder. That's the supported way and has the added advantage that you can use the names you've given to your Events or Albums as well.

  • IMovie 11 how do I import photos that ARE NOT in iPhoto

    If I don't use iPhoto, how can I import photos into an iMovie 2011 project?
    As far as I can see, you have to put your photos into iPhoto first. I don;t use iPhoto, I use Lightroom and it would be a pain if the only way that I could get photos into an iMovie project was to have to load them into iPhoto.
    thanks

    I finally figured it out myself. You can drag photos from Finder into the project timeline.
    I couldn't find this docuemented anywhere and every tutorial only talks about using iphoto.

  • How do I import photos to iPad2 from different folders in my Mac?

    How do I import photos to iPad2 from different folders in my Mac?
    I have a few folders of photos in my mac that I want to be on my iPad2. How do I go about on doing that?
    It seems like I need to put all the folders into one folder and point iTunes to that main folder.
    The thing is I don't want to copy them (waste of space) and I don't want to move them (my photos are organized).
    So is there a way for me to import photos from different folders in my mac to my iPad2?
    Thank you!
    BTW... I don't use iPhoto.

    Find software (which may not exist) to export them in a photo format (jpeg, tiff). IPhoto will not do it

    How do I veiw Photo Stream on my PC

    To view Photo Stream, install iCloud Control Panel > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455
    Then, open Control Panel > Network and Internet > iCloud, log in with your Apple ID, and mark Photo Stream. Then, press Options button to see which the Photo Stream folders are, so you just have to access to those folders depending on if you want to see Photo Stream photos or upload them

  • Confused...how do I import photos into a particular album?

    I'm trying to import a bunch of Hubble Space Telescope photos into iPhoto. They are in a folder on my hard drive. I'd like them to go into an album I created titled "Astro photos for iPad".
    Is there any way of picking selected photos and importing them directly into that album?
    I rarely use iPhoto, but every time I do, it's a major head-scratcher. I don't know why, but I simply do not understand the interface or organization (folders, albums, events, etc.). The PDF help manual doesn't cover importing photos from the hard drive. I'm sure iPhoto works wonderfully for regular users. I know it's me, not you!
    Where do the imported photos go? Are they in the aether until you, somehow, find them and then drag them into an album? How do you find them?
    It seems that the strategy is to give an import an event name as the way to group them, but then I can't find the event. (It's usually mixed in with a bunch of dated events.)
    Here's the complication in this case. I have dozens of images in that Hubble folder. I'm in iPhoto. I'd like to import selected ones. I have to import them one at a time because I'm checking on which image is which. Then they get lost as they were taken, and saved/dated, at different times. I suppose my only recourse is to create the iPad Hubble folder first outside of iPhoto and then import them in one fell swoop.
    I know this will all sound ridiculous to those who use iPhoto regularly or simply just get it, but I'm lost in space--literally!
    Any suggestions on making my way back to Earth would be greatly appreciated!

    I have read through the explanation provided but unfortunately you just explained iPhoto.  I believe the original question was how do you import photos directly into an album and bypass "EVENTS" and "PHOTOS". 
    I know this an old thread but I need help in doing this.  I have my camera connected, and I have created an album specifically that I want these pictures to go into.  Any advise?  Thank you, 
    You can't do it.
    iPhoto works like iTunes. All the tracks are in the Library, each playlist contains references to the tracks in the Library. So a track can be in any number of playlists without using extra disk space.
    In iPhoto, all the phoots are in the LIbrary. Each Album contains references to the photos in the Library. So a photo can be in any number of Albums without using extra disk space.
    Events and Photos are views of the LIbrary. Two doors into the same room, as it were.
