I would like to erase the photos in the camera roll without erasing them in Photos. Please tell me how it can be done, because I erase some and saw it was erase in Photos as well.

Have you imported them from the camera onto your Mac?

The photos were uploaded to the Mac via icloud I guess. I did not conect the phone to the Mac.

Okay, that's fine, I understand now … if you connected your phone & imported your pics into photos then I'm certain that if you were to then erase them from your phone, you would still have them on your Mac but please test this out first by taking a few shots then selecting them for import on the Mac. Then you can delete them from the phone & see if they are still on the Mac.

I connected the phone with the Mac. I have the same pictures in the camera roll in the phone, Photos in the Phone and Photos in the Mac. When I try to delete a picture in the camera roll of the phone, tells me, it will be deleted from iCloud Photo Library on all your devices.

You need to run that test to see what happens … yes you are correct they will be deleted from iCloud but I'm under the impression you want your photos saved to your Mac??

yes you are right I wont the photos to be save in the Mac. I did what you suggested , unfortunately when I delete it in the camera roll it is also deleted in Photos in the Mac.

see if this discussion helps, it's about iPhoto nor Photos.app though but in essence it might be the same … have a look in Photos.app preferences …
