Can I select which photos I want to keep high resolution copies of on my iPhone and send the rest to iCloud (keeping only the low res images of those on my phone)?

Only upload photos to iCloud Hello all I was wondering if there was a way to only upload photos to icloud, instead of downloading the photos from all other devices? This would help to conserve storage space.

Navigating iCloud Photos Across iPhone and iPad I have upgraded my iCloud plan and have enabled iCloud Photos on my iPhone and iPad. The iPhone has finally uploaded all pictures to the Cloud and my iPad is nearly finished doing so. My understanding is that now all photos on either device will show up in the Cloud and are now available on both devices. I also selected "Optimize iPhone (and iPad) Storage" on my devices. I have a few questions. Are the photos now on my iPhone and iPad still their original resolution? Somehow I should be able to access ALL the photos from iCloud. But, how do I do this? The number of photos showing on my iPad, for instance, does not appear to have changed although I had thousands more on my iPhone. Going forward, will my all future pictures I take with my iPhone or perhaps download on my iPad automatically be synced with iCloud? If, in order to optimize space on my iPhone, a lower resolution image is kept on my iPhone while the higher resolution image is in iCloud, how do I access the higher resolution image? Thanks for anyone who can address these questions! I am trying to be proactive as Photo Stream goes away shortly!
