Importing Photos from a Digital Camera
Once you've take photos with your digital camera, you need to move them from your camera into iPhoto. This is easy on a Mac and requires no additional software.
To connect your digital camera:
1. Use the USB cable that came with the camera to connect it to your Mac.
2. Turn on your camera. In the viewing area, iPhoto displays the photos stored on your camera.
To import all the photos on your camera:
1. Click the Import All button in the lower-right corner of the iPhoto window.
To import some of the photos on your camera:
1. In the iPhoto viewing area, click the first photo you want to import. To select a range of photos, hold down the Command key and click the next photo you want to import.
2. After selecting all the photos you want to import, click the Import Selected button in the lower-right corner of the iPhoto window.
When the import finishes, turn off your camera and disconnect it from your Mac. If you capture images on flash cards, simply connect a card reader to your Mac, insert a card, and let iPhoto take over from there.

 Adding Other Photos to the iPhoto Library
iPhoto can import photo and image files in a variety of formats, making it useful for storing and arranging images other than those that come from your digital camera. For example, you can import photos emailed to you from friends and family.
To add any photo or image on your Mac to your iPhoto library:
1. Open iPhoto. The viewing area displays your iPhoto library.
2. Find the photo you want to add to your iPhoto Library. Drag the photo into the iPhoto viewing area. The photo becomes a new Event.
3. You can do the same with entire folders of photos. Just find a folder of photos on your Mac, and drag it into the iPhoto viewing area. |
