Why do pictures I’ve successfully synced to the online skydrive.com, not also appear inside the “SkyDrive Photos” tab within my computer’s “Photos” tile?

Why do pictures I've successfully synced to the online skydrive.com, not also appear inside the "SkyDrive Photos" tab within my computer's "Photos" tile? My computer's "SkyDrive Photos" area is empty and displays a message saying no photo or video files could be found. It then directs me back to SkyDrive.com and asks that I put photos there first. The photos have been successfully synced there but for some reason they will not register under my computer's Photo tile-SkyDrive Photos tab.
