[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1548540, member: 38928"] The first thing to do is to change the iPhoto preferences so that files aren't moved on import they are left in the current location. Open Automator and create a new Folder Action script. You'll see "Folder Action receives files and folders added to" - Select "Other" from the drop down list and navigate to the folder you add your photos to. Select Photos from the left pane, then import into iPhoto. There are several options about which album you use etc. That's up to you. Then save and quit Automator. Now if anything ever changes in the folder you selected it will trigger the script. [/QUOTE]
