having a picture with a heart outline or filled heart means the picture is already in your recent photos tab. that means you have to chose the photos that doesnt include this one

Not the case for me. Every picture I checked including those I have from 2010 have the heart outline and they are most definitely not in recently added.
 
I'm having this same issue of putting pictures into the recently added album. I see the heart, I pressed it, and now it put them in a new album called "Favorites" in which I still can't access from whatsapp.

Some apps can't see the entire photos app yet. :(
 
i did what the other guy said i made a album in the shared section ,then when i want a old collections pic ,i go to the album hit the plus sign add the picture .then hit the share button and save it to recent photos ,they need to fix this

Here is the strategy for that. In the Albums Tab, Create a New Album based on the Photos you are transferring. then Enter the Album and Press Select on the Top right hand side. Now at the Bottom of the App, Press ADD. This will take you to a subscreen where you can select any moment. Chose your moment by Pressing Select on the top right hand of each moment. This will Select ALL the pictures in the Moment. Now press DONE. This will add all the moment photos in the Album you have just created. This album will be accessible by all apps for sharing, editing etc.

Added a New method if you do NOT see SAVE (ALL) Pictures from Moments option when saving from moments to your recent pictures:

Helpful FAQ, even though the file management system is now completely broken.

Totally broken, the photos apps was almost perfect for me, but now, it's so annoying.

I used to download photos from the web/Dropbox/Whatsapp and arrange them however I liked in Camera Roll, but now, they appear as I want them in Recently added for a few days, then, they disappear in to the photos tab and get rearrange by time taken and location, well, that's so annoying, because depending on the data of the photo they are put out of the order that I had them in Camera Roll, and if I have no idea when the photo that I downloaded was taken, it's a nightmare to find them in the photos tab.

The worst thing is that, I don't really think Apple will bring back the Camera Roll, I hate it when they fix things that just work and make a whole new mess.

Evidently the idea is that all photos are created equally now. Apple doesn't care if you shot it on a different camera and downloaded it to your phone, took it on the phone, synched it from iCloud or saved it from the Web. A picture is a picture is a picture. The ability to manage local photos separately from iCloud photos seems to be gone, never to return. This is a major problem, especially if you're trying to manage space on your device or if you're dealing with work versus personal photos. Never mind the problem now faced by pro photogs like me who don't want their client shots appearing across all their iDevices automatically and don't trust Apple to keep them secure on their servers.

The whole thing strikes me as a photo management system designed by someone who has never had to manage photos before. It's obviously designed for the absolute lowest common denominator and as a result will likely fail practically everyone. I'm a little surprised this issue isn't getting more traction in the Apple press, but suspect it'll pick up more as people encounter it when upgrading to the iPhone 6 tomorrow...
 
This is a mess! It took me 24 hours to realize Apple F'd this up!

I want to see all my photos in one place!!

Any way to turn collections off?
 
is there a way to delete a photo from my phone WITHOUT deleting it from photostream? i used to do this almost daily on ios 7.
 
So, there's is no way to delete a pic from iPhone and then have it also deleted on all your other photo syncing devices (iPad, Macs)?

I think it's picking up some attention, the biggest threads about new iOS 8 are the "No Camera Roll".

And the problem goes for an internet picture too, lets say you are on Google, and you download a photo from the internet for a future project on Pages, the photo is in Recently Added, after a month you start you new project, you want that picture, but it's no longer in Recently Added, so you start looking for it in "photos" tab the day you downloaded it, it's not there because the photo's metadata placed the photo 8 months back, so you will have a pretty hard time finding it.
 
No offense, but this "Guide" needs A LOT more clarity for the more ignorant.


For example;

Q: Where are all my recent photos?
A: Your recent photos are in the Recent Photos Tab



It should be:

Q: Where are all my recent photos?
A: Your recent photos are in the Recent Photos section located in the Albums tab.



Otherwise, good write-up.

Any word from Apple about iCloud Photo Library release date?

Handoff and continuity are coming in October per Apple's website but iCloud Photo Library just disappeared fro the marketing pages, everything was deleted.
