Google-drive – Google+ photos to edit (possibly through Google Drive)

google-drivegoogle-plusgoogle-plus-photosimage-storage

I do not understand why pictures that I do not want to edit are editable in Google+ whereas those which I do want to edit are not editable. I do not see Edit button for them. I hear that Google Drive/Docs may have apps for image editing. Maybe I am more lucky there.

But how can I import the Google+ photos to Google Drive?

From How Google Drive works with Google Photos - Drive Help

You can view and manage your photos and videos in both Google Photos and Google Drive. You can also create a Google Photos folder in your "My Drive," to organize your photos and videos into folders. Photos and videos that you can see in both Google Photos and Drive only count once in your Google storage space.


View your Google Photos library in Google Drive

Your Google Photos library includes everything that's been backed up or uploaded using Google+ Photos or Google Photos.

In Google Drive, you can move your photos and videos from your Google Photos library into folders. Note that the folder names and organization you create in Google Drive will not be reflected in Google Photos.
