[QUOTE="Kilted1, post: 402923, member: 21046"] [b]iImport with Automator[/b] You can import selected pictures using Automator. This may be the way to go if you rename your files before you import them to iPhoto. This is because iPhoto uses the file name find things again. The Automator is easy to use. Start like this 1.Open Automator 2.In the library column ,choose Finder 3. In Actions double click [B]"Get specified Finder items[/B] 4.Click the Flippy Triangle Turn on [B]"Show when run"[/B] 5.In the library choose iPhoto Double click[B] "Review Photos"[/B] 6. In action column again choose [B]"Import to iPhoto"[/B] then click show selected items select [B]"New Album"[/B] 7. Click on the flippy triangle turn on [B]"Show action when Run "[/B] and [B]"Show selected item" [/B] 8. Go to file [B]"Save as Plug-in"[/B] Finder is selected save with a name you can call iPhoto import or some such 9. To use just right click on your desktop and select Automator actions you should see in listed there. and away you go. When you run the action you tell the Automator where the items you want to import are by clicking the "+" sign and choosing your file/files. then you are presented with a review of each picture which you can accept for import or not. Then a album is created in iPhoto with a name you have choosen . I have attached some thumbnails to show what things look like when you run the program... Have fun [ATTACH=full]5963[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]5964[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]5965[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]5966[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
