How to import specific images from camera to iPhoto

I've been using Nikon Tranfers to bring images to my iMac, it's a really easy application to use but recently it has developed a bug which prevents me from deleting the images on the SD card once they are transferred. I looked at using iPhoto but when the SD card is connected via a reader it doesn't show the gallery of images that are on the card, it prompts me to enter an album name but then it transfers all the images on the card onto the iMac.
Is there a way to view the files on the card and to select specific ones to transfer/

What version of iPhoto?
Prior to iPhoto '08 image capture was the only way to selective import was image capture.

Importing jpeg images from camera to IPhoto

I get the following error message when uploading jpeg images from my camera to IPhoto in my macbook air- "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image".- any ideas?
If I try to import just one image at the time I get the following error-
"The following file cannot be imported. The file is in an unrecognisable format"

What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? What camera? Does your camera mount to the desktop? Have you tried image capture? Have you tried a USB card reader? When did you last reformat your camera memory card using the camera's format command?

How do i delete images from camera after importing

how do i delete images from camera, ipad, iphone after importing the files into aperture3?

Image capture will allow you to delete from the device after import, but I believe it is by design that Aperture does not do this as it is recommended (in the case of a camera) to use a device's own delete function rather than a 3rd party like Aperture. This also allows time for a proper backup before everything is erased from the device?

How to import edited images from iPhone 6

I am able to import unedited images from my iPhone 6 into PSE 11. However if I have edited them in the iPhone Photos app, PSE 11 sees only the unedited original. Windows Pictures also seems to import only the originals. Apple's article at support.apple.com/en-us/ht203612 says they use Adobe's xmp for editing, and it lists PSE as one of the programs that support xmp. So how do I get to the edited images from PSE?

Yes. Use iPhoto Library Manager to move the photos/albums/events between libraries. This gets all the versions and all the metadata. It's the only way to do this.

How to import selected images from iPhoto 11 into Elements 9?

How do I import selected images or events from iPhoto 11 into albums in Elements 9 Organizer? I don't want all my thousands of images in Elements. Both iPhoto and Elements 9 are updated.

I don't use iPhoto much at all, but you can set it to use PSE (or any other real image editing app) to edit the images you store in it. Check the iPhoto Prefs (command comma) and look at the General tab. Select PSE or any other app in the "Edit photo:" pop-up menu. That way you can still keep iPhoto for storage/filing and PSE for editing. Hope that helps.

How to import archived images from DVD's

I have had a problem for some time (since LR 1.3) importing saved files from DVD's, or CD's. I am on Windows XP SR2. If you try to import more than one file from a DVD by selecting File/Import from disk, and then select files on a disk drive, it will not import them. One file at a time works, but not more than one file. I have been copying them to HD, then importing them. But today, after looking at the new Lightroom community help system site, I found a technique that works. Instead of hitting File/Import, go to Start/My computer, then select drive to import entire disk. Or select images, and DRAG them into Grid View. They will all import fine. Hope this helps others that have had this problem.

Hmmm. My 'puter ain't got no "Start/My computer" !!
A very useful tip for PC guys 'n' gals. Thanks from a Mac guy, and when -or if- I import from a DVD it may help.

Downloading images from camera into iphoto and getting two of everything

Is there a reason I'd be getting two copies of each photo I download from my camera into Iphoto? And is there a way of making it stop doing that?
They're both in the library, right next to each other.
Thanks.

HI brvideo,
What is the make of your camera?
Does your camera do RAW?
Does your camera have a setting that will also do a jpeg conversion of the RAW image?
If so, check the settings for your camera and make sure it is set not to do that.
Does your camera have a setting where it does an HTML file of your images. This will produce a smaller jpeg thumb. If you have it on that setting, change it.

How to import only images from DSLR

Friends,
I sometimes shoot video on my DSLR. Right now, I tell Aperture to import files and the program displays all of the images on the camera's card, still and video. To import the stills only, I have to manually search the files. Is there an easy way to import just the stills into Aperture without importing the videos?
Thanks!
Steve

In the Import window enable the File Type brick and select the file types you want to import.

IPhoto does not import rotated images from camera

I plugged in my CF card to a reader and first looked at all my photos. Those that needed rotation I fixed with preview. Then when I opened iPhoto, it didn't recognize any of their file formats. Is there a good workaround?

I would not mess with them on the card - use image capture to bring them to the Mac disk and then rotate the ones needing rotation (and rename, etc) and then import to iPhoto

How do you Automatically Copy Images From Camera?

I would like to create an AppleScript that will run when I plug in my digital camera. Here is what I cannot figure out.
How to make it run when the camera is plugged in.
How tow to copy images from camera to a designated folder.
Thanks!

You can do all you requested - without 'AppleScript'.
01. Connect your camera launch 'Image Capture' ('/Applications/' folder - if it does not automatically launch.
02. Select the 'Image Capture, Preferences...' menu item.
03. Click on the 'General' tab.
04. From the 'Camera:' 'When a camera is connected, open:' pop up menu - select the 'Image Capture.app' menu item.
05. From the 'Devices' menu select your camera from the menu items list. A window will appear with the title of your camera.
06. From the 'Download To:' pop up menu select where to save the camera's photographs. You can select any folder anywhere on your hard disk drive(s).
07. Click the 'Options...' button, and from the drop down sheet click on the 'Connection Options' 'Automatically download all items' check box - to add a check mark. There are other options you may have be interested in.
08. Click on the 'OK' button.
09. If you want to download the photographs now - click on the window's 'Download All' button. Or, to test the above setting changes - quit 'Image Capture' and disconnect your camera. Then reconnect the camera - and watch the above setting changes take effect.
Note:
The above automatic action can also happen if the storage device of the camera were inserted into a USB digital camera card reader. So long as apply the Steps above, and you select the USB digital camera card reader from the 'Devices' menu's menu item list in Step 05 above.
'Image Capture' is not scriptable; but, may be control-able via 'tell application "System Events" to tell process "Image Capture" ....
When a camera is connect to the Mac, the storage card of the camera is mounted onto the 'Desktop' and also listed, as an alias, in the (invisible) '/Volumes/' folder.
Now that you know the name of the storage card ... you can create a 'Folder Action Script' (an example is presented below) and save it into the '/Library/Script/Folder Action Scripts/' folder,
Open the '/Volumes./' folder (in 'Finder' via 'Go, Go to Folder' - enter '/Volumes/').
Perform a right button click ('<control> - click, for single button users) on the 'Volumes' folder's window, and select 'Enable Folder Actions' (if not already).
Rpeat the right button click (<control> click) and select 'Attach a Folder Action...' - selecting your script ('Volumes_FAS.scpt' as shown below).
Below is a 'Folder Action Script' example - where you will have to substitute 'NO NAME' with the name of your digital camera's storage card's name.
-- --- Save code as a script with the name 'Volumes_FAS.scpt' --- --
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
set myStorageCard to "NO NAME" -- The name of my 1 GB stroage card. The name of your card may differ.
repeat with i in added_items
tell application "Finder" to set tName to (name of i) as string -- Obtain name of mounted storage card.
if (tName is equal to myStorageCard) then my handle_card(i) -- If my storage card, continue processing.
end repeat
end adding folder items to
on handlecard(localVolume)
set folder_Path to ((path to desktop folder from user domain) as string) -- Path to 'Desktop' folder.
set download_Folder to "NO_NAME Photographs" -- Name of folder to store storage card's items (files and folders).
-- create download_Folder, if it does not exists.
tell application "Finder" to if (not (exists folder (folder_Path & download_Folder))) then make new folder at (folder_Path as alias) with properties {name:download_Folder}
-- Duplicate all the items (files and folders) of the storage device to the '~/Desktop/NO_NAME Photographs' folder.
tell application "Finder" to duplicate items of local_Volume to (folder_Path & download_Folder) as alias
end handle_card
-- --- End of code --- --
Review 'Finder's dictionary (in 'Script Editor') for the various ways to incorporate 'duplicate ...'.
