How to retain images in Photos when turning off iCloud Photo Library

AUTOPLAY, AUTOPLAY, AUTOPLAY!!! Have I mentioned how much I hate autoplay?

That said, this post was worth it, at least to me.

Glen Fleishman, writing for MacWorld, weighs in with an answer to this question:

I find the various iCloud settings confusing, none more so than those for iCloud Photo Library. This is a good explainer, worth bookmarking, passing along.
