How to download only specific photos from my camera?

Hi,
I'm in the habit of not deleting the photo images from my camera's CF card frequently. The problem with using iPhoto is that that it appears to only allow me to download ALL or NOTHING of the photos on my camera. I would like to selectively download specific photos from my camera with iPhoto. Is this possible?
Thanks.

Hello.
There is also a way to selectively upload directly to iPhoto. If your camera mounts on the desktop as an external drive, simply ignore iPhoto's initial uploading screen. [Click back on Library in the Source Pane if this screen distracts you.] Choose File> Import to Library. A window will open where you can navigate to your camera, preview the images, and select only the ones you wish to upload. As in the Finder, Shift-click will select a contiguous range, and Command-click selects multiple, nonconsecutive items.
If your camera does not mount on the desktop (most Canons do not) then you can use a card reader. Place the card in the reader, connect to the Mac via USB, and use the above method to upload from the card. This is my preferred method, since it saves on the camera's batteries.
Cheers.

  • How do I only have photos from my iPhone stream to my iMac?

    How do I only have photos from my iphone stream to my iMac?  I just downloaded from my digital camera close to a 1,000 pictures from my vacation on to my iMac and they all streamed to my iPhone!  I don't want all those pictures on my phone.  Is there a way to only have the photo stream work in one direction?

    Photos downloading to your iPhone usually come from Syncing with iTunes.  Look in the iTunes sidebar, click on iPhone under devices (must be attached).  Click on Photos tab across the top to review which Photos, albums, events etc are synced from iPhoto.

    I have no clue that you mean by it only shows photos from the camera icon. It has to show the photos in the camera roll of the photos app since those are the only photos that you can import via the USB cable.
    There are other ways of transferring photos to a computer, but they involve using third party apps. There are WiFi transfer apps that will do this. DropBox will also let you upload photos to a public folder and then download them to a computer.

  • How can I sync specific photos from folders instead of syncing the whole folder to my iPad?(1 gen)

    So I recently synced a few folders from my PC to my iPad 1 and there was a few photos I did not want on my iPad, so when I tapped the photo, the trash button wasn't there. I looked up why that was happening and discovered it was because synced photos can't be deleted from the photo library. So I ask my question, how can I sync specific photos from folders instead of the whole folder? from iTunes to my iPad. If there is not a way for me to sync specific photos from folders, how can I delete the photos I don't want from my iPad?

    As King_Penguin has already explained, this isn't possible with the stock Photos app.
    As far as photo syncing is concerned, I also recommend PhotoSync, which is an excellent photo (and video!) synchronization tool, should you want to stick with the stock Photos app on the iPad. Should you want something better (Photos is a pretty limited app without sorting, EXIF displaying etc. capabilities and with HUGE storage usage), you'll need to take a look at third-party apps. I too recommend Photo Manager Pro, it's IMHO the best tool. There's a complete roundup of image viewers for iOS at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/all-one-photo-viewer-roundup-70-price-drop-bes t-image-viewer ; you might want to read it.

  • How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

    How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

    When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
    For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

  • How do you Remove a photo from the camera roll album without deleting from other albums

    How do you Remove a photo from the camera roll album without deleting from other albums

    If it was originally on the camera roll try this: take another unimportant photo for test purposes, copy it to any special folder you have created within Photos, connect your iPad to your computer, locate it as any other external device, and most likely that Photos folder will be the only thing that will show up, locate the photo, delete it and then sync your iPad.
    If the test photo is gone from the camera roll but still in another folder within the app then you know that the system works so go ahead with the process. I understand that there are other photo apps which might let you achieve your goal much quicker.
    Hope thi helps.

  • How can I recover deleted photos from my camera roll?

    How can I recover deleted photos from my camera roll and my photo stream?
    Please, help me!

    I finally got up with a solution.
    All you need is the photo file from your last backup.
    You can extract this file from your backup by using iBackupbot for itunes. Get this via:
    http://www.icopybot.com/itunes-backup-manager.htm
    Once you get this file you extract the photos in form of original database file. The screenshots on the website will help you to know how to extract the files.
    Okay so now when you've got the photo file you simply need to SSH into your phone to /private/var/mobile/Library/photo were you'll already see a photo file.
    Replace the old photo file that you've extracted from the backup by the one that already exist in.
    Don't forget to keep an extra copy of the new photo file if in case you go wrong somewhere.
    It worked for me and I hope it works for you too.
    Thanks mende1, you were indirectly helpful.

  • HT201302 How do I delete a photo from my camera roll and not delete it from a folder

    When I delete photos from my camera roll, it also deletes them from the folder I've saved them in. How do I delete from the camera roll and not lose them from the folder?

    "When I delete photos from my camera roll, it also deletes them from the folder I've saved them in. "
    Correct.  There is only one photo and it is in the camera roll.  The folders you create are just a way to organize the pics.  it does not create a duplicate pic.
    Just as a song is in your library and a playlist, a pic is in the camera roll and the folder.
    If you delete a song from the library, then it is gone.  The same is true of pics.

    How do I remove a photo from iPad air camera roll taken by the camera?

    I took 2-3 hundred pics on my trip with my iPad mini and have downloaded them to iPhoto.  How can I get rid of them on my iPad now...do I have to do it one picture at a time?   When I first downloaded them iTunes asked if I wanted to delete them from my iPad and I foolishly said no.  Am I now forced to do it them one at a time or is there a setting I am missing that will do it?  They are using all of my memory!!

  • HT4515 how do you erase a photo from the Camera Roalbumll and still keep it in a selected

    How can you erase a phote from the camera roll and not delete from the selected album you moved it to

    You don't. There is only one picture.  if you delete it from Camera Roll then it will be gone.  Just as a song is in your library and that exact same song is in a playlist, a pic is in the camera roll and that exact same photo can be accessed from a album that you make.
    The pic is not moved to the album, the album is simply a playlist.  the pic lives in the camera roll.

  • How do I upload a photo from my camera to Photoshop

    I am brand new to Photoshop.  How do I upload an image, from my camera, to Photoshop?

    It’s best to connect your camera to your PC or use a card reader. Then add the photo(s) to a folder on your hard drive.
    You can then open from Bridge by double-clicking a thumbnail, from your operating system (Open with Photoshop) or directly from the Photoshop application using the top menu:
    File >> Open

  • How do I delete multiple photos from the Camera Roll?

    How do I delete multiple photos from camera roll without doing it one at a time?

    Thanks for your posts on this - it's something I've been wondering about, too.
    I do agree with Bonzo that it seems strange that there isn't a way to do it *efficiently* without having to hook the iPad to a computer.
    I know there is an alternative: in other words, you're right, Lawrence - it is possible to delete multiple files at once by following your instructions (i.e. tapping on each photo once, etc.) - but if you want to delete lots of photos, it takes ages to tap on every one of them.
    Does anyone else out there know of a way to delete multiple photos on the iPad/iPhone/iPod touch without having to tap on each photo separately, or having to hook up to a computer?
    I'd be really grateful for any help on this. Thanks!

  • How does one delete specific photos from ipod touch 2nd gen (with ios 4.2.1)?

    I would like to delete some photos from my ipod touch 2g, ios 4.2.1, but I can't just sync it to my (new) computer because then all of them would get deleted because I don't have the photos that I have on my ipod on my new computer. Help!?
    Thanks

    - You can email the ones you want to retain and the restore the the iPod on the the new computer

    tio copy them to the computer.

  • How to migrate only some photos from external hard drive/Time Machine to new Mac?

    I just bought a new MacBook Air, after my old Macbook died. Luckily I had everything from the old computer backed up on an external hard drive through time machine. However, when I tried to migrate everything to my new computer, I found I do not have enough room for all of the files. I would like to import just some of the photos/albums from my old Iphoto Library but it looks like I can only migrate the entire library, or else nothing at all? Since I don't have enough space on the new computer, it's not allowing me to import any photos. Is there a way around this?

    With iPhoto it's all or nothing.  Therefore get a second EHD to restore the library to.  Then you can duplicate the library, open the duplicated and delete all of the photos you don't want in it.  When that library is small enough to fit on your MBA copy it to the Pictures folder.
    Then you can use the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager to copy new events from your MBA library to the library on the 2nd EHD to keep it up to date with all of your photo. There are portable EHDs that are not much bigger than a mouse (the computer kind ) that would work fine for this.

  • How can I save my photos from my camera roll, my photo stream on the icloud so that I don't lose my photos if I upgrade phone or just because I need space and I don't want to delete or lose pictures.

    Can I save my camera roll pics, my photo stream pics from my iphone 5 into icloud so I don't lose pics if I upgrade phone or because I need space

    No.
    iCloud isn't a file storage service.
    You can backup your camera roll but you can only restore the entire roll to the device.
