Access iPhone photos through Preview
Authored by: Stormchild on Aug 18, '08 11:11:01AM

It works, but not that well. Thumbnail previews don't show up, and when you select multiple images, you only end up getting one of them. And it opens it into a new, untitled document, so you have to save it as well.

Thanks for the Image Capture tip. I didn't realize it could access my iPod Touch. It presents the same import interface as Preview (I imagine it's a shared library). There's still no thumbnail previews (so you can't tell which one(s) you want), but when I selected multiple images, they all imported properly and saved as new files automatically. I find this more useful than the Preview method.

I haven't tried importing images from my iPod with Aperture yet, but I imagine it can. Obviously the iPod has no camera -- I'm just importing screenshots and saved images from Safari -- so I really don't need to load them into a photo editing app.

For some reason, even iPhoto doesn't provide a thumbnail preview for any screen shots. It does for other images, though. It's probably a bug on the iPod end.
