@andrea: You have found the Masterclass in Mac instruction!!! And don't forget there is the transcript ( in the show more area) if you need it ... I copy and paste some of them if there is too much to remember 👍 (I advise to hit the 3 dots and get rid of the time stamp if you do copy it.. easier to read)
Hi Gary, do you have any idea how to prevent FCP from always opening the import dialog when I plug in the memory card? FCP is always running - closing FCP is not an option.
Would be wonderful if Apple got with the program and added the ability to preview RAF (Fujifilm) RAW files (that are in the compressed RAW format). No way will I shoot uncompressed RAW just to get previews. It’s borderline criminal that Apple hasn’t given users this basic functionality.
I have been using Image Capture exclusively for years and I still find your video informative and I learn "secret" stuff. Thanks to Gary's videos we never have to open the instruction manual 😂🤣🙄👍
Hilarious: Last week I bought an iPad for $1600 just to backup photos I take while on holiday. Couldn't get it to recognize my DSLR camera when I plugged it in - obviously I was looking in the wrong place (I am accustomed to windows devices where my camera instantly appears as a device on my desktop. Anyway, returned the iPad to the Apple store explaining to the "tech" why I was returning it.... No mention of the Image Capture App, no explanation of where to look for a plugged-in DSLR, they just refunded my $1600 and lost the business. Thanks Macmost for being such a resource, though I will probably just trust my DSLR to survive the trip as I did before (or get a Microsoft Surface). Once home, I can now get them into my home Mac Studio a lot easier.
Lol! I dropped $400 on a law enforcement grade bodycam. It sat in the box in my office for probably over a year. When I finally thought about testing it for the field, I found out it only works on windows and nothing Apple has available. Since I was way out of the satisfaction period, I bought a windows laptop to use exclusively for that bodycam. I occasionally post those videos and have to copy to a usb drive and drop the footage into iMovie on a MacBook Pro that I have had since…2012. I think your situation is a little better than mine. Lol.
This video is about Image Capture, which is a Mac app. It is NOT an iPad app. On the iPad you should have gotten an SD card reader and just imported the new photos in the Photos app.
I had been using Adobe Bridge or Lightroom’s Local Browse feature to manage photos before importing them into Lightroom (i.e., the Adobe Cloud) and, for a lightweight option, Finder. Image Capture is a lightweight option that is actually designed for images. I had no idea this application even existed! Thank you, Gary!
Hi Gary,I’ve been learning from you for sometime,now I have a question. Years ago I was given an opportunity to create several email addresses so I have ten. Can I delete several?. I don’t use them. If I can. How?
Not sure what you are asking. Missing lots of information here. Since this doesn't seem to have anything to do with this video, use macmost.com/ask and include a lot more information.
@@johnpurcellpurcell5207 10 separate email addresses on 10 separate services? Or 10 email accounts on the same service? Which service? Maybe they are aliases, not separate accounts? How are you using them? Get legit email at all 10? Do you use all 10 as logins for other sites and services. There's a lot of things to consider here.
Thank you Gary for another great video! If the photos are in a folder and not in the photo library, is it possible to view them using the photos app? Thank you, in advance, for your reply.
@@ruimartinho7191 OK. But you can also look at the Photos Library as its own file system, which specializes in photos and videos. Putting files in there gives you all sorts of special powers that you don't have when they are files in the Finder (edits, adjustments, organizing with albums, searching for people and things, searching by location, sharing, etc).
Thanks, Gary! I am a longtime macbook owner and iphone user (9+ years). I've often default to AirDrop for quick file transfers, until I recorded my first 4K video file that spans 1hr 40 mins (a workshop presentation for my best friend). I was racking my brain trying to figure out how to get the file off the phone, and here you are with the perfect find. I hadn't used Image Capture in ages (2012-15 maybe? back to college for me). I'd forgotten all about it and I don't know how. And now thanks to you, I'll do my best to always remember it. My heart (and best friend) thanks you very much. You helped patch a bridge in my creative workflow and totally saved my weekend. Sending love.
I got a question for you. it seems when I open a folder of pics with "preview". I have to click on each picture to view it. Is there a way to have an arrow button on the view page to click to go to the next picture? I know I can use the right or left arrow key on the keyboard to change pictures but it would be nice if there was an arrow key on the view page to click with my mouse. That is one thing I miss with windows. I guess the keyboard arrow kets wont let me advance to next picture if I am in full picture view mode.
@@macmost I just have pictures of things I do not want to add to my photos library. It would be nice if the MacBook had a regular picture viewer to look at folder. I really do miss that with windows. The clicking on one picture to full screen then closing that picture to open another pic to full screen is annoying.
Yes, if both folder have the same files. I’ve been in situation where a move something that has been double back up and sometimes some files are missing. I would like to be able to compare them instead of eye balling them. Thanks Gary you are the best dude.
@@kilombazo There's no easy way I can think of. If this is a one-time thing, looking carefully is probably your best option. If you need to do this often then there may be apps you can get, or you could learn some Terminal shell script skills to do it.
Despite showing up in the Finder sidebar, my card reader doesn't show up in Image Capture no matter what card I put in it! Any ideas how to make it show the external card reader?
@@billx4266 I don't think getting an Apple Studio Display for a Windows PC is a good idea. You'd be spending money for some features that work best with Macs. I'd look for another 5K display if that is your desire.
You have no idea how much time and hassle you saved me…..whenever I use to connect iPhone to my Mac I use to first open photos on Mac and then import it to photos and then export it to folder and then delete from photos….you just bypassed photos…this is amazing…. Also can you please make a video on how to access iPhone and iPad contents from Mac when you connect through cable….i have been air dropping most of stuff around …there might be better way to seamlessly transfer data via cable….i don’t want to go the iCloud route…iCloud is great but i already pay for OneDrive Thank You for all the learnings ❤
I mean iCloud Drive is the way to do it. Just because you use OneDrive doesn't mean you can't also use iCloud Drive. In most cases you should be able to save files to OneDrive on your iPhone and iPad too. Depends on the app.
That’s really useful to know. Would image capture also download images sent in a text message? Family often send pictures of events they are attending.
Would storing my main Photos library on an external SSD connected to my MacBook Pro make sense if I have a huge library I don't want in iCloud and don't want taking up my Mac's internal 1TB HD space? I use icloud ($0.99/mo) on my iphone and dump photos when it gets full. I don't want to pay to store my whole photo life in iCloud. I back it all up to Amazon Photos mostly for free with Prime. Love your thoughts. Thank you!
It sounds like you have ruled out the things I would recommend, and storing your library on an external drive is all you have left. I use iCloud because I love having all of my photos available to me everywhere. I also have a large enough internal drive to keep my library fully local too. Having it on an external SSD works, but it is slower than the internal SSD, and now you are stuck having it attached to your now-less-portable MacBook Pro all the time.
