Import a single picture from camera

I am trying to import just one picture from my camera (Canon EOS Rebel), but when I hook my camera up it only gives me the option of importing all the photos. Can't I choose which ones to import?

There are 2 workarounds to accomplish this:
1. Launch Image Capture, found in your Applications folder. Choose "Download Some" and you can look in your camera, preview and select only the file(s) you want to upload. Save them in a folder on your Desktop (NOT inside the iPhoto Library folder), then import into iPhoto and delete the Desktop copy.
2. Instead of uploading via the camera, use a card reader. It will mount on the Desktop as an external drive. This allows you to use iPhoto's File > Import to Library command, then navigate to your memory card. You can preview the files and choose only the ones you wish to upload, and they will be imported directly into your iPhoto library. Many cameras mount on the Desktop and can be used this way, but since Canon does not design their cameras to do this, the card reader is needed. I actually prefer this method of uploading, since I don't have to worry about the camera's battery power while importing with the card reader.
Regards.
P.S. iPhoto 7 has this capability built in.

  • Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files?

    Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files? I just want to view / delete files without importing them.
    For instance I have 1200 photos on my iPhone Camera Roll. Some of these are shots, that I've taken multiple times, some good, some bad. I just want to clean up my Camera Roll, but going through the pictures on the iPhone's small screen is tedious. I'd much rather look at the camera roll's photo's on my Mac, and then decide which files I'd like to keep, and which to delete.
    I don't want to import the files, as when I import the files, and delete them from Camera Roll, now the Photo's are not on my phone, and the only way to get them back on my Phone is to Import them back in using iTunes, and then they go into the Picture Library and not the Camera Roll.
    In the same way as I can view Pics from my digital camera's SD card on a Mac without having to actually copy them to my computer, is there any app out there that will let me view my iPhone pics without importing them.

    The short answer is yes.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer.
    Open Image Capture application.
    Click on the 4 little squares at bottom to view them as photos, not a list.
    Select the photos them click the No Entry icon at bottom to delete.

  • I am unable to import pictures from camera to iphoto 9 or 11 without getting message saying "the file is an unrecognizable format"  They are JPG files like always but now i can only import from a CD.  What is the fix to this problem?

    I have always been able to import pictures from camera to iphoto without a problem.  Now, for some unknown reason our iMac and Mac Laptop will not import pictures from camera to iphoto 9 or 11...what is the fix to this problem?  It will only accept import from a CD.

  • How do I down load pictures from Camera Roll that were

    How do I down load pictures from Camera Roll on my iPhone to my Mac Pro that were taken prior to iCloud?

    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. This was the same prior to photo streaming with iCloud and remains the same since.
    With a Mac, you can use iPhoto for the import which also supports iCloud photo streaming, or the Image Capture application.

  • How can I put selected pictures from camera roll into a seperate album removing them completly from camera roll??

    Im gunna be straight up honest here.. I have some rude pictures of my girlfriend on my iphone which I would like to keep for my own personal viewing but obviously dont want family and friends seeing when they are flicking threw my camera album which often happens. I had intended to make a private album put them all in there and put a passcode on the album. With all of apples features I would of thought this would be a standard thing you could do, however when I made the private album the pictures were still in my camera roll and if I try to delete them I am told the pictures will be removed completly from my phone.. This is stupid. What is the point in being able to make albums if the pictures are going to still all be in the camera roll!? Does anybody know of a way I can move pictures from camera roll to a private album?? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Photos placed in a user created album or in an existing album are not copied/duplicated. The photos placed in an album include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Camera Roll. Having an album for select photos is for viewing the select photos only without having to see all photos in the Camera Roll.
    The same applies to albums transferred from your computer. All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. Photos on the albums below include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos appear as they are duplicated when they are not. This way you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album, or all photos on the Photo Library or Camera Roll by selecting it.

    Just installed elements 10. When I try to download pictures from camera card, elemnets 6 comes up to process. I did mconvert.

    It sounds like a configuration option.  I would recommend posting your inquiry to the Photoshop Elements forum though.   Also please include which operating system you are using when reposting your inquiry.

  • Downloading pictures from camera

    I am trying to transfer new pictures from camera (they come up in a search so I know they are in the computer)...BUT I am unable to transfer them to the place where all my other photos are ('My {Pictures').
    When the search results are on the screen there is no option to create new file names and move individual pictures to the new files. i.e./ I want to file pictures under different topics.
    I have many other files (done in the past). For some reason this morning I cannot find the right options.
    Maybe something has changed?
    Maybe I have to buy something?
    Maybe I am too stupid to have a computer?
    Maybe I should be doing something more useful>?
    HELP.........!!!!

    Downloading pictures from camera
    I downloaded photos from my camera.....not sure which program I used.....I THINK it is Adobe Photoshp starter edition 3.0.
    But I dont know where those photos are.
    When I search them....they all come up under a file name that I used. But then they are in a place called Search Results (of course).
    However ...with all my other photos (downloaded months ago)...under that same file name, there are only 3 photos transferred to it.
    At some point this morning, I was able to click and drag and drop into the file where I want it.
    My hope was to subdivide about 99 pictures into 4-5 different folders. I ran into problems when I was trying to set up new folders with different names.
    I think, maybe, I have downloaded at different times using different programs. then different programs would not speak to each othere!??!
    Things pop up and I follow thru.....now today....after 3-4 hrs messing with this I recognize that there are 3 different systems in my terminal: Dell's, Adobe and Corel.
    Can you follow all of this?
    I really appreciate hearing from someone.....
    Thanks in advance for your efforts.

    I sent a picture from camera roll to my computer over 12 hours ago and it hasn't been received.  Since then, I've tried to send smaller ones to my computer and they have not arrived either.  Is there a queue I need to go into to delete the first picture that may be holding everything else up?  Or what can I do to unblock this feature?

  • Add picture from camera roll to existing album?

    I have created albums and want to add more pictures from camera roll.  How to do that?

    If you want to add them to albums that you've created directly on the iPad then go into the album that you want to add the photos to, tap the icon at the top right of the screen that looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it, and you should then get an option next to that icon to 'Add Photos'.
    If you want to add photos to albums that you synced from your computer then you'll need to copy the photos to your computer, add them to the folders that the albums came from, and then re-sync
