How to Download Photos from iCloud

"Any one can tell me how to download photos from iCloud?" asked Marry on Apple Support Communities, "I have backed up a bunch of photos recording my college time on iCloud.  In order to save space on iCloud photo library, I would like to download some of these old pictures to my PC for editing in the new photo app. Since directly downloading from iCloud does not allow me to download my wanted files only, I prefer a third-party app."

What Marry need is iPhone Data Recovery. iPhone Data Recovery is an easy-to-operate tool for users to recover all kinds of data, especially photos. With iPhone Data Recovery and an iCloud backup, it will be a piece of cake to download photos from iCloud to PC/Mac.
