I have iPhoto 11 on my iMac
I do not see the gear icon you refer to.
Why is that so ?

I’m guessing you can’t beam 500 miles.. but that is certainly a job for Dropbox, Sky drive, Box etc…

I’m assuming this is only for iOS devices in the same wireless network. Am I correct? I’d like to beam photos to my aunt 500 miles away, can I do this? Or do we need to be on the same iCloud account?

So, I’m assuming this is only for the newest iPad(3)?

And if I do that, all the iPads in my neighbours’ apartments will ask their owners if they want to receive my photos as well?

[...] OSX Daily had a very handy tip today about using iPhoto to beam an image from one iOS device to another iOS device. I just wanted to follow up that post with a video demonstration of beaming a photo from one device to another. I also wanted to mention that when you make edits to a photo in iPhoto and then beam them to another iOS device your edited photo will also be beamed as well as the finished photo which is placed in your “Beamed” album. If you open the edited album you can revert the edited image back to the original unedited image. If you are using PhotoStream to send photos from device to device you only get the finished image.

personally I think this feature needs to go beyond iPhoto and be included in Photos. Think of it like AirDrop for pictures.
