Ticket Options

Question Details

TICKET ARCHIVE -> iPhoto- Problem loading photos.

dalibal - Dec 28, 2005 - 12:15 pm

I recently started downloading my pictures from my digital camera into iPhoto 5. I don't like deleting the pictures from my memory card because I print them from my card and also download them to other computers. Every time I plug in my camera it goes through every single picture. Every time I need to tell it not to download duplicates and to apply this to every picture, but it takes a lot of time to go through the hundreds of pictures on my card before it gets to the 3 at the end that I want to download. Also, I don't want some of the pictures on my mac and delete them from iPhoto (because I don't know how to prevent it from downloading them in the first place), but the next time I plug in my camera it downloads them all over again! Are there ways to bypass these problems? Thanks!
By the way- my camera is the Canon Powershot A75

Hello,

Try a program called image capture, it is on your Mac, under the Applications folder, it should do what you want it to do..
I just did a tip recently on my Podcast about it, but here is a link to the write up I did on it as well.

and I believe it was Mac Tip # 27, so look for that one.

Let me know if this helps,

Thanks! I didn't know about it. If you ask me mac should integrate the functions of iPhoto and image capture because I know I'm not the only one who didnt know about it. Take care!

Glad I could help. I agree, I would like some of those options in iPhoto, but it is also great for scanning, sharing a scanner, and more.


Thanks,
