How to add a photo to your Photostream and/or Camera Roll

To add a photo to your Photostream and/or Camera Roll

In your Camera Roll or Photostream

Click on the cloud with an arrow on the top right-hand side
Either Drag and drop or select Choose Photos and Videos, this should bring up a window with your documents file (or wherever you file your photos) in your computer so you can select a photo from there
Click on the photo you want to add, then click open or ‘drag and drop’

(If it is not possible to load the photo this way there will be a prompt to use an 'Old Uploader', this appears to be connected to the version of Adobe Flash you have on your computer.)

You will see your photo being uploaded
When you are ready to add another photo click 'Add' (top, left-hand side)
When you have selected all the photos you want click 'Upload ? Photos', top right-hand side
Click ‘Upload’ again if you are happy with the setting.

You will then find yourself back in Photostream – if your photo was specified to be visible to only you (private) or family and/or friends, it will not appear in Photostream, only Camera Roll

Photos in 'Camera Roll' are private to yourself, friends and/or family, photos in Photostream are visible to the public. To change this, in Camera Roll you need to click on the photo, options appear at the bottom of the screen, click 'Privacy' and select the option you want

To load a photo(s) to the Club page go to the the options to the left and select Add to groups
Click ‘Hands on Photography Members…’ so a tick appears alongside. Click ‘Done’
Now click ‘Upload ? Photos’.
Click ‘Upload’ again if you are happy with the settings

Your photo appears in your Camera Roll, (and Photostream if privacy setting is ‘public’), and the ‘Photopool’ on the Club site. The photo does not need to be set to ‘public’ to be viewed on the Club page, but if set to ‘private’ will not work. ‘Friends’, ‘family’ and ‘friends and family’ are fine and are also not viewable to the ‘general public’.
