Connect your digital camera to your Mac with the USB cable that came with the camera.
Once connected, Mac OS X automatically opens iPhoto and you are prompted when it is ready to
import the photos from your camera; you??™ll see a screen closely resembling Figure 11-3.
You can choose to import everything in one fell swoop by clicking the Import All button, or
import only specific photos by manually selecting the individual photos you want to import and
then clicking the Import Selected button. iPhoto then asks whether you want to keep the original
photos on the camera or delete them during the import. I recommend keeping the originals in
case something goes wrong during the import process. You can always delete them directly from
your camera later.
FIGURE 11-3 iPhoto is ready to import your pictures into its photo lab.
230 How to Do Everything: Mac
Import from Another Location
Perhaps you used a scanner to scan old pictures into your Mac in an effort to preserve them, or
maybe your son just e-mailed you a picture of your new grandchild. You??™ve saved these pictures
in a folder on your Mac but now need to get them into iPhoto (just like you needed to get your
photos from your camera into iPhoto).
