I have a 16GB iPhone and have been using Photos. So I have it optimized to store photos/vidoes in the iCloud. This means that only thumbnails are stored on the phone and whenever I want to see a photo or video I have to wait for a full res download...which can take a while on cellular.

Is there a way to keep all full res media in iCloud and just select certain photos or videos I want to have available all the time as full res media on the phone and at the rest thumbnails? Or is it all or nothing?
