![]() ![]() When you do this, a sheet appears telling you that some photos need to be prepared for full-size viewing. At once, any images in the selected album or event will become part of the slideshow. While viewing images as thumbnails, just click the Slideshow button at the bottom of the window. In this case we’re taking about the former.Ĭreating a slideshow on the fly is a cinch. You can create one type on the fly, for viewing your images within iPhoto the other type you construct with the idea of exporting and sharing it with other people. As I explained in our last lesson, iPhoto supports two kinds of slideshows. The other option is to view your images as a slideshow. Once it has expanded in this way, you can move between images by using the Mac’s left and right arrow keys, clicking the arrow keys at the top of the window, or (if you’re using a trackpad or Magic Mouse) swiping two fingers to the left or right. #IMPORTING IPHOTO LIBRARY FULL#To view an image so that it takes up most of the iPhoto window-or the Mac’s screen if you’ve chosen View > Enter Full Screen (Command-Control-F)-just double-click it. For the moment, let’s concentrate on viewing. Once the images are in iPhoto, you can perform all the magic you’d expect-viewing, editing, and sharing them. Simply select the images and drag them on top of the iPhoto icon in the dock, or drag them into the iPhoto window, and they’ll be imported. If you have images that aren’t on an iOS device, camera, or card, but rather are just sitting somewhere on your Mac, dealing with them couldn’t be easier. #IMPORTING IPHOTO LIBRARY MAC#Just detach the cable from your Mac or from the device. You needn’t eject iOS devices or cameras. Click it and wait until it disappears from the pane, and you can safely disconnect the device. Next to a card entry you’ll spy an Eject icon. If you took the images within the previous year, they’ll appear when you select Last 12 Months, too.Įlsewhere in the Library pane, you’ll see an entry for your iOS device, camera, or card. Those events will also appear when you select Event in iPhoto’s Library pane, and all of the imported images will appear when you choose Photos in that same pane. Once you’ve made your decision about deleting images from the device, your imported pictures appear within the Last Import album, separated (by default) by event. Many people prefer to delete images on their camera rather than letting iPhoto do it. With some cameras, I’ve found that the command simply doesn’t do what it promises. I do so figuring that the camera knows how best to do this. When I want to delete images from the camera I do it directly on the camera rather than depending on iPhoto to do it for me. I follow the advice of the pros on this one and click Keep Photos. Your options are ‘Delete Photos’ and ‘Keep Photos’. When iPhoto finishes importing the images, a window appears asking whether you’d like iPhoto to delete the now-imported images from your device. Making progress as iPhoto imports images. (The choices are ‘One Event Per Day’, ‘One Event Per Week’, ‘Two-Hour Gaps’, and ‘Eight-Hour Gaps’.) When the Split Event option is enabled, iPhoto will create events based on the Autosplit Into Events setting in iPhoto’s General tab (found in iPhoto’s preferences). #IMPORTING IPHOTO LIBRARY SERIES#As should be pretty obvious, you can add a name for your event- Toga Party or Grunion Bake, for example-rather than having iPhoto create a series of Untitled Event entries, followed by their date. ![]() Below this name is an Add Event Name field, along with a Split Events option. On the top-left of the pane you’ll see the name of your iOS device, camera, or memory card (CANON-DC, for example) and a date range derived from the timestamp of the first image and the timestamp of the last. When the progress bar disappears, an Import pane takes up the majority of the iPhoto window. iPhoto launches and a progress bar appears. You’ve plugged your iOS device, camera, or card into your Mac. (By the way, if you’d prefer that iPhoto not launch when you connect a camera, iOS device, or media card, do this: Launch iPhoto choose iPhoto > Preferences and from the Connection Camera Opens pop-up menu in the General tab, choose No Application.) Importing your picturesĪnd now for those import details. Just shove the card into the appropriate slot on the reader, and iPhoto will launch and prompt you to import the images from the media card. Such readers plug into a Mac’s USB port, and many of them accommodate a range of media cards. If your Mac doesn’t have such a slot, or if you’re using a media card format other than SD (Compact Flash, for example), you can purchase a memory card reader from your local camera store or from an online outfit such asĪmazon. A typical multiformat memory card reader. ![]()
