1430784 2017-01-19 01:50:00 Have just started using Google Photos and want to use my Gmail contacts. As they are both Google I thought it would be a piece of cake. However, despite spending several hours on this I have not managed to work it out!?! I cannot even work out how to add a new contact into Google Photos. Despite extensive googling about the problem, cannot find anyone else who has had the same problem. Stumped! Misty (368)

https://photos.google.com/

1430786 2017-01-19 04:02:00 Thanks lurking- but my photos start as RAW images and are on laptop or desktop Misty (368)

1430788 2017-01-19 20:46:00 Unfortunately that does not meet the problem, lurking. We seem to be at cross-purposes. My problem is to copy the contacts from Gmail to Google Photos. I seem to have confused the issue by my reference to my images starting off as RAW files. By the time they go onto Google Photos they are JPEG after being processed. My aim was to show that they can be biggish files, not like those encountered on a cellphone. I take it that the App used on the cellphone will not be much use on a desktop or laptop, where is where I do virtually all of my photographic processing. How can I copy over my contacts to Google Photos please?? Misty (368)
1430789 2017-01-19 22:44:00 Just tried Photos and all my gmail contacts are available to share to. I didn't add them, they automatically sync'ed with my contacts.

No idea why yours didn't, though.

1430790 2017-01-20 01:10:00 Thanks for repondind linw. About 1/4 or 1/5 of them are there, a mostly random selection, so don't know how that works! Misty (368)
1430791 2017-01-20 01:31:00 Very strange. All mine seem to be there, EXCEPT those with no email addresses. These are filtered out. linw (53)
1430792 2017-01-22 23:54:00 If you log in to your Gmail, up top-left by the Compose button it'll say "Mail", click on that and then choose "Contacts":

Let's start at the beginning and confirm:
Are all your contacts showing up in there ?
