Photo stream picture size

I am sure this must have been covered before, but I am obviously not using the correct search terms to locate the answer.
I have photo stream active for Aperture and not iPhoto. If I want to just use the photo stream in Aperture am I correct that on a Mac my photos will be automatically downloaded in full resolution? While if I am on my iPhone or iPad my photo stream photos will only be in a resolution that minimize storage space.
Hence, if I have both my Mac and iPhone / iPad in front of me I should use Aperture rather than the mobile device for editing and uploading? That is, if I want a better edit, keeping in mind it is only my iPhone, I should edit on the Mac?
Am I understanding photo stream and Aperture correctly?

Where do the photos originate?
Do you take (some of) them with your iPhone?
Do you take (some of) them with your iPad?
Do you take (some of) them with a camera and upload them to your iPhone, your iPad, and/or your Mac?
The path makes a difference.
Here's my understanding of the matter:
Pictures that come to an iPhone or iPad via Photo Stream come in at "a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space," but pictures taken on an iPhone or iPad will be stored at the full resolution of that device's camera and uploaded to Photo Stream at the same resolution.
Pictures that are uploaded from a standalone camera or memory card to your Mac should come in at whatever resolution the interface supports (usually full carema resolution) and be uploaded to Photo Stream at the same resolution. Pictures downloaded from Photo Stream to your Mac should come in at full resolution as stored on Photo Stream.
I am unable to make a blanket statement about the resolution of uploads from a standalone camera or memory card to an iPhone or iPad. It may depend on the connection method.
If somebody else here has insight into that last point or sees a mistake in the previous two points, please jump in.

How can I save my photo stream pictures?

So, Apple in it's infinate wisdom has nearly ruined my honeymoon and I'm at my wits end to save what is left of my digital archive of the trip. How on earth can I SAVE my photo stream pictures OFF of an iDevice?? I have 210 pictures that I desperately need to save onto my computer and the only place they exist at the moment is inside the photostream.
Not that it matters, but let me vent... the reason they only exist is in the photo stream is because of Apple's under-prepared servers for iOS5 deployment and a glitch in iTunes that wiped my phone immediately as I plugged it in today (no sync, no confirm, just plug, beep, and then a wiped phone in under 5 seconds).
I lost all of my phone content, which luckilly I'm an exchange user so the most important stuff is always duplicated off the device. But my pictures and video from my week long honeymoon were on my phone and while SOME of them did sync to iCloud, not all of them did (still don't know why THAT is - but that's the next mission) and NONE of my videos were in the cloud. On top of that, no backup has been done by iCloud in over a week even though I have been on wifi and charging several nights on the trip, and all last night once I got home. No backup. Wiped phone. *** Apple.
Where I stand right now is a photo stream full of pictures that I want to save and cannot seem to get to. First thought was that since iCloud is a cloud based service I bet I can log into a web site and see all of my content an save it from there. Nope. This is Apple so of course that option would make too much sense. All I can do from the web portal is look at pretty icons and delete my pictures. I can't even browse them, much less save them. Again, ***.
So next on my now restored phone (from a week old backup) I can see my photo stream and a nice little save button exists. Good, that'll save it to the camera roll and I can copy them off like the other pictures. Nope. I select some pictures, click save, and nothing happens. I select 20 or so pictures, click save, and 2 pictures show up in my camera roll?? Again, *** Apple.
So there is also an option to add the pictures to a new album. Ok, here we go. Select all 210 pictures, add to a new album, and yes it makes a new album. Now to save that album off to my PC... NOPE. The album is nowhere to be found in the file system (where the camera roll pictures live).
Ok, so at least I can now back up my phone so I know that these pictures won't just fall off the iCloud in 30 days. Backup goes fine... and is 30M in size. Son of a...! There is no way that backup includes all those pictures.
I installed the Windows iCloud manager - that sounds like it would let you MANAGE your iCloud content, but nope. You can manage your payment info, and have it stream NEW photos to you, but you cannot get to your existing photos! One last time Apple... W T F.
How can I retrieve photos that are in my photo stream?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Yes you can do that, select the rectangle with the arrow in it, in the top right hand corner of your photo stream screen and select the pictures you wish to save to your camera roll then tap the save button at the bottom of the screen and choose camera roll from the options that appear.

How do i upload the photo stream pictures on my iphone to my pc

hi
i have successfully uploaded some photos from my Iphone to my pc

You have iCloud control panel installed on your PC and you're signed in? If so, sign out, restart the machine, then sign back in.

Photo Sharing in ios 6 shows all my photo streaming pictures

I decided to test the photo sharing feature in ios 6. I created an album and sent it to myself and was horrified to see that not only could I access the test album, but ALL my photo streamed pictures were available for viewing. I created another album, sent it to a gmail email account I have and had other same issue. Next, I created a third album and send the "public sharing" link to myself: it didn't show the third album but rather the previously created second photo stream album, even though I had already deleted it.
I never had this problem with MobileMe.
ANy suggestions?

I just did the same upgrade with my 3GS. I am having a similar problem. My contacts are on the phone now, but my music and apps are not. When I try to restore the back up this is the message I get: itunes could not restore the iphone because a session could not be started.
I see my my music and apps in my itunes library, but if I try to autofill it to my phone I get this message: itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in library can be copied to the iphone.
Can you help?

Time Capsule gathering Photo Stream pictures?

Is there a way to make Time Capsule gathering Photo Stream pictures, instead using Mac or PC for this task?
Managing (a fast growing amount of) pictures on the iPhone (/iPad) is a big "pain in the ***" today...
Here is what I am looking for as a perfect solution for this challenge:
1. You can configure Time Capsule in a way that it gets automatically all iPhone (/iPad) pictures via Photo Stream, and stores them permanently (like a Mac does today via iPhoto)
2. You can mark selected pictures on the iphone as "store permanent on the iPhone" (favorites like childrens pictures etc.)
3. You can select a time frame when pictures are deleted automatically on the iPhone (of course deleted only when they had been stored permanently on Time Capsule)
4. You can select how many pictures should be stored (via Photo Stream) on your iPhone
5. You can access ALL pictures on Time Capsule directly from the iPhone. (The overview about pictures would work with thumbnails to reduce required storage for the preview; selected pictures can then be downloaded. For the download you can select a reduced resolution of the picture to save download capacity)
6. Option to backup pictures on an external harddisk and/or online storage

I'm not sure where to move the photos--in a seperate photo file or directly into iphoto.
This is really a question for the iPhoto support forum, but since I have done this, it might help to know that the iPhoto Library is stored in your Pictures folder on the Mac.
Click the Finder icon at the far left of the dock at the bottom the screen to locate the Pictures folder.
When you open iPhoto for the first time, you may need to "point" iPhoto at the iPhoto Library by holding down the option key as you open iPhoto.
Please post in the iPhoto support area on specific iPhoto questions.

Does photo stream pictures take space on my computer

does photo stream pictures take space on my computer

Only if you have iPhoto setup to automatically import the Photo Stream photos.
Otherwise they are just on the iCloud server and will be removed after 30 days.

Editing Photo Stream Pictures

When I edit a photo stream picture the only option it gives me is to save it to Camera Roll. Is there a way to change this so it will save the edited photo to Photo stream?

The order displayed is 'Date taken' and then 'Date modified', but any photo without a 'date taken' will appear at the bottom , not the top

Can't find my photo stream pictures anywhere, my even in "collections"

I can't find any of my photos from my photo stream. I have very limited space on my phone, so I routinely delete my photos, but I always thought that they would be safe on the photo stream. Now it's gone. All of my photos are gone. I'm left with only the 80 photos I've taken in the past few weeks. I trusted photo stream to hold onto my photos for me but I can't find it anywhere!! I know that Apple changed everything by lumping all of our pictures into collections, but none of my photo stream pictures are there and I've read that they should be! I have no idea where to go to retrieve them. Are they all just gone now??

Thank you for the reply! Where would I go to find the rest of my photo stream pictures? Is there somewhere online I could go to retrieve them? The only photo albums I have are:
All photos
Favorites
Videos
Recently Deleted
And then I have the collections section. My pictures aren't in any of them, and I have no photo stream folder.
Back when I did have the photo stream folder, it held pictures that I had taken months ago. It was at a 1000 picture limit of course though.

Can't find my camera roll (only photo stream) pictures in iCloud. Should there be an icon there? Do I need to install another icon?

I'm not totally sure I understand what you are asking or expecting to see.
You will only find your Photo Stream photos in iCloud, not the camera roll photos. What I mean is that any older photos that you have in the camera roll will not appear in the photo stream. Only photos that you have taken with the iPad, after you turned photo stream on, appear in the photo stream.
You can create a shared photo stream album with older camera roll photos, but the camera roll itself is not in iCloud.com.
Where are you looking in iCloud to see these photos?

How do I get back my photo stream pictures which I accidently deleted

how do I get back my photo stream pictures which I accidently deleted? I cant remember whether I have back up or not.

If they aren't in Photos>Photo Stream, then they are deleted and cannot be recovered. Try restoring from a recent backup that has those photos.

Photo Stream Image Size to iPad

Is there a way to set the image size dementions that are uploaded via Photo Stream to iPad?

The image size is determined automatic. See iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
What resolution are My Photo Stream photos?
On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices. Panoramic photos can be up to 50 pixels wide.

Viewing Photo as "Picture Size"

Does anyone know what happened to the option "Picture Size" under the "View" menu in Photoshop CS6? It was great for viewing as picture size before sharpenning. I know the option 100% is there, but it is often larger than the actual photo size.
Also, How did I get in this section called Photoshop for Beginners. I've been using photoshop for 10 years?

Thank you for your reply. Yes, that is exactly what I was talking about. I found out yesterday that the latest update to CS6 took out "Print Size". It's unfortunate.

Photo Page picture sizes

Is there a way to control the sizes of pictures displayed when one clicks on individual thumbnails in photo pages in iWeb. They display at 600 pixel size along the longer side. If one then drags and drops them onto the desktop and subsequently opens the resulting file in Photoshop the downloaded picture is a full 800 pixels along its longer side. This is more than I prefer and makes for a long upload time for websites with hundreds of pictures. A 400 - 500 pixel size would suit me better. Is anyone aware of some method to change this default picture size? Maybe some plist hack?
PowerBook 15" 1,67GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Thanks for your reply. By dragging and dropping I was referring to the end viewers of the website being able to drag the pictures to their desktops in a fairly high resolution. Sorry for not being clear about this. The thing is I don't want the end viewers to be able to have images of more than approx. 400-500 pixels. All my images start off in Aperture and wind up in iWeb via the Aperture2iLife software from lightboxsoftware.com. To simplify the workflow I'm trying to keep other apps out of the loop, hence no iPhoto.
I think my solution may have to be to Publish to a folder from within iWeb, find the appropriate images in their folders and batch run them through an Action in Photoshop to resize them to a smaller size before uploading the website. The downside of this of course is the added step in the workflow including another application in the loop but I guess the upside is I can use the opportunity to stick a watermarking routine in the batched Action.
