[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1001151"] Drag and drop will work for DIGITAL images (ie ones taken with a digital camera, which preserves that sort of information. Literally, open iPhoto, and drag in a folder full of pictures. This creates an "event" based on the day the pics were taken. If they were taken on multiple days, or many hours apart, multiple events will be created. If we're talking about SCANNED photos, obviously they don't have their date embedded in them the way digital ones do. You can easily modify the date after they are imported into iPhoto to the "correct" one and they will refile themselves in the Events view (and the Photos view if you have that set for chronological sort) to the proper place.
