Thanks Joe, no the 16 photos have not gone to icloud photos, just checked which I hate to do as it involves the tedious log in. Those 16 photos added to desktop photos have not synced anywhere else.

Desktop, yes photo stream is checked.
iphone, turned on and connected to wifi, yes... but I often often turn them off too. Sometimes the laptop is off.. but they both will go on again at some point throughout the days for hours and hours.

Last night though, I took an iphone photo at a restaurant, and that one shot is everywhere: desktop, laptop, icloud.

But the 16 images I dragged into photos, desktop, two days ago is still only on the desktop. real bummer. I was hoping they would swiftly been seen on all other devices. Now 2 days.
