Those of us who use a Mac with their iPhone probably grab photos using iPhoto. It's an obvious choice since your Mac already comes with it. However, if you have a lot of photos, you may not necessarily want to fire up iPhoto to import one or two pictures from your iPhone.

Instead of iPhoto, try using Image Capture. It's light-weight, straight forward, and it's included on your Mac. Best of all, you can simply drag a photo out of Image Capture right onto your desktop. You can even delete photos on your iPhone. Now that's handy!<!--break--></div>

Also you can, with Image capture, delete in an easy way photos in your iPhone without need to import them.

iPhoto auto loads... any way to stop this?

[Michael Johnston]

You can tell your Mac to not auto-load an app when you plug in a camera. Go to Image Capture preferences and choose to open no application when you plug in a camera or change it to Image Capture. This is going to affect all cameras you plug in, so if you don't want that check out this tip: http://www.iphonealley.com/tips-and-tricks/use-applescript-to-stop-iphoto-from-auto-launching

There is an option to close the autoload of iPhoto. Click on that and set it like that and then iPhoto wont load automaticaly for you.

Hey iPhone owners out there. Checkout this new iPhone accessory which allows the built-in camera to be extended.
