Importing selected images from a camera on a Mac
If you want to import all the images from a camera iPhoto it is real easy using iPhoto. Just follow the prompts when you connect your camera to the computer using a USB cable. When it comes to a picture that you have already downloaded, it asks if you want to download the duplicates and you can indicate whether or not you want to skip all duplicates. Downloading selected images If you want to get just the last couple of images off the camera, you can do it one of several ways. Image Capture The Image Capture application lets you select images to download from your camera. It does not automatically import them into iPhoto, but lets you put them in any folder of your choice. From there, you can import them into iPhoto or use any other software you like. Use Finder On most cameras, when you connect the camera to the Mac, a new volume is mounted. Open Finder and you can navigate through the folders and find the actual image files. From there, you can drag them to your files on the Mac. Again, this does not import them directly into iPhoto. Memory Card Some cameras store the pictures on memory cards. You can get a card reader to plug into your USB port and read the card from the camera with that - using either Import from iPhoto or Finder. You can purchase the card readers for between $20 & $30.
