Is it possible to move images from image capture right into iphoto?

When I take pictures off of my roomates digical camera I only want to grab 30 or so out of 200. So I will use Image Capture and download them to the desktop, and then import them into iphoto.

Well, I am lazy and that's too much work. Can Image Capture do all the work for me?

The easiest option is to just import them to a folder and drag them from there to the iPhoto window. Besides that I don't really think there's much integration between IC and iPhoto.

Buy a card reader! I consider them an essential part of a digital camera setup.

I have a Canon S400 and a 256 MB CF card. I'll go and fill the thing up, and then slip the card in to a card reader. It's 3X faster then reading directly from the camera.

I can also look at the images on the CF card and drag them directly in to iPhoto.

The CF card reader is only $20 and it also permits you to place other types of files on the memory card (so it can act like a little storage area)

I always was under the assumption that you could choose to download your photos from Image Capture directly into iPhoto.

Or am I thinking of something else?

I´m pretty sure you can. When I connect my digital camera iPhoto pops up automatically.

iPhoto only lets you download everything or nothing. You don't get to pick and choose like the original poster wants to do...

Does anyone else want iPhoto to be able to do this? Maybe an 'expert' mode or something - so it keeps its original easy-to-use setup and something for what I want to do.

A card reader sounds OK, but I don't want to buy any more peripherals. I got junk all over my desk already - speakers, powermate, external hd, isight, video camera, mouse, 3lbs. roast beef, etc.

nice OBEY sig. by the way..

iPhoto should be able to have the download options of some or all like Image Capture. This has surely been a highly requested feature since version 1.

At least now, it will ask if you want to download a duplicate from your camera or not.

Now that you can drag pictures easily to other film rolls or create new film rolls, I just load everything into iPhoto and have abandoned Image Capture.

I do the same method you do, and I also think iPhoto should let you browse the photos you want to import - not just all or none.

But hey, using image capture, at least you get to see the cool cube transition during the import!


Card reader is reasonable, but I like not having to open the camera all the time, just drop it in the cradle, and import pics-


Maybe iPhoto will let us pick and choose soon-

Hey guys, I have a related question... I just got a Canon S400 and it just uses a USB cable to interface w/ my computer, which is fine because I don't really need a card reader... However, I haven't found a way to put pictures back onto the camera after, for example, I do an import w/ iPhoto and tell it to delete the originals.

Basically, I'd like to be able to fill up my card, dump the pictures onto my powerbook, fill up the card again, etc... and then at the end of the day when I decide which pictures I want to have "developed" at Walgreens I need to be able to dump the pictures back onto the CF card. It would be nice if the USB interface directly to the camera would let me do this but it seems as though I need a card reader, is this the case or have any of you found a solution for this?

Thanks for your time
