Tip 1 of 14: Cloud Sharing

There are two apps that currently support iCloud photo sharing in OS X - and that’s all about to change. In Mavericks, iPhoto and Aperture are the tools you use. Next year, both will be replaced by Photos for Mac. Already available on iOS devices, Photos is very much like iPhoto, only slicker - so we’ll use iPhoto here as the functionality we describe here should remain about the same.
First you’ll need to enable photo sharing for iCloud. On your Mac, go to iPhoto > Preferences and make sure “Photo Sharing” tick box is checked.
