How to Download Photo’s from your Apple iPhone

About two years ago my wife discovered that she had a passion for photography, and the good news is she seems to have a naturally ability to take wonderful photos. Therefore, when I upgraded my cell phone a few months ago I knew that access to all the great photos Nicole takes would be important.

Although most of the shots I download will, be taken with a Canon the quality of the iPhones camera is very good. For an amateur like my self it takes very adequate photos and the obvious advantage is it is always in my pocket.

We currently have a windows PC and laptop at home, it is a goal to purchase a Mac for the photography business, so I will detail instructions about the downloading process for both systems.

Most things on your iPhone are managed through iTunes but when it comes to the camera on your phone that is a little bit different.

If you treat the iPhone just like you would any other digital camera you will be on the right track.

You will need to have selected some software to import photos onto the iphone and it will automatically launch when you plug the phone into your computer.

 

 What Software can I use?

There are many options like Photoshop elements or lightroom,Apples aperture or Adobes Bridge downloader just to name a few. Obviously a few minutes on Google will give you many options and many facts about, the various software offered.

I will forget the fancy options for a minute and provide you with some basic instructions on photo downloading.

 

Windows User

 

When you plug your iPhone in the Windows camera wizard should cut in and then it will simply allow you to download the images you have taken to a folder you set up on your computer.

 

Mac User

 

For Mac users iPhoto or image capture will launch and ask you if you wish to import your shots.

Any of the above-mentioned programs will allow you to download your photos and do whatever you would like with them. The files will save as JPEG files.

Remember that whatever software you install to import your photos will normally launch automatically.

I am finding a number of business applications for my new iPhone so I have decided to document in article form each new use that I find. If you do not have an answer to a particular iPhone question, try searching my name and iPhone and the answer may just turn up.

Apple IPHOTO Vs Aperture 3 (Mac)?

Hi, i am a mac user and love iphoto, however i have read a lot of good reviews on aperture and was thinking that should i move to aperture, the main question i would like to ask is that 'is aperture easy to use, i mean can a beginner use it' the other question is that the aperture file is it too big compared to iphoto as its 557 MB. Also would i be able to syn photos from my iphone and digital camera.

Thank you

Aperture is not as easy to use as iPhoto. It is designed for professional photographers and advanced amateurs who take a lot of photos.

If iPhoto does everything you need, then stick with it.

I prefer Adobe Lightroom compared to Aperture - if you are going to take the plunge and buy something more complicated.

And don't overlook Picasa - it's free and a great photo organizer with some unique editing tools.
