I am frustrated with the Nikon software for downloading from my camera
to the computer. The SW from Canon for my wife's P&S works great and I can put the shots anywhere in our picture management files. I have tried to use the Canon software via a card reader but it is not recognized. Graphic Convertor works but is slow as it seems to download all the pictures first then gives you the option of which to keep and which to discard. Using Mac G-5 with OS X.3.9.

We have Canon, Fuji and Nikon cameras, but none of their SW is on the machine. It is all just a pain in the Tits. Roy G |

Try Image Capture, right there in your Apps folder. You can choose to d/l all, or selected images.

It is all just a pain in the Tits. For even more fun, use Adobe Lightroom to download, Mac or Windows. You can set all kinds of import features from EXIF into, keywords, tone curves, renaming. -- John McWilliams |

TIA Just use a card reader, create a folder drag and drop. Firewire card readers are much faster than cameras for downloading. You can use Adobe Photoshop Elements, with Bridge or Lightroom to work with the images. I just ignore the camera software, both Nikon and Canon is very clunky. Tom |

TIA I'm surprised you like the canon software, most don't and I haven't even loaded it on my current build. However, as I recall, zoombrowser will read from a card reader so give it another try, that is unless they've been so cruel as to only recognize a card that has the canon stuff on it, but I find that hard to believe. There's lots of good free stuff out there for organizing photos. Some like picassa. Personally, I just use windows explorer with suitable directory structure. Dave Cohen |

No, I just used Zoombrowser this morning to download some shots from my K100d's SD card (in a reader), no problems at all. Jim There's lots of good free stuff out there for organizing photos.

'Ceptin' onna Mac, using the Image Capture app has some advantages, one being that if there are multiple folders, it puts all of the pix into one, and it lets you download partials easily, etc. For even more flexibility, I use Lightroom now to manage my off-card imports. It'll divide up the contents by days, very useful in some circumstances. -- john mcwilliams |
