8 Chapter 2 Learn iPhoto
Before disconnecting your camera, wait until all your photos have been imported into
iPhoto (or click Stop Import). If your camera has a sleep mode, make sure it’s disabled
or set to a time increment long enough to allow your images to download. For more
information, see the instructions that came with your camera.
To view your pictures, click Last Import (in the Source list) or click Events and view your
photos by Event.
To disconnect your camera from your computer:
1 Drag the camera’s icon to the iPhoto Trash.
2 Turn off your camera.
3 Disconnect your camera from your computer.
You’re now ready to view and organize your photos.
Importing Photos Without Using a Digital Camera
In addition to importing photos on a digital camera, you can import photos that are:
 Saved on a CD. (When you take your 35 MM. film to be developed, ask if the photo
developer can store your photos on a CD or floppy disk. Many offer this service.)
 Saved on a DVD or flash drive.
 Located in a file or folder on your hard disk.
 Saved on a memory card.
If you’re not using a digital camera, for best results, ensure that all photos are in JPEG
format.
To learn more about importing photos, see the topics in iPhoto Help.
