[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1639868, member: 131855"] From what I have read Image Capture Extension launches the Image Capture app whenever something launches that is image/photo related (scanners, cameras, etc). It then launches iPhoto or the Image Capture app depending upon settings. I assume that if Aperture is set as the default image capture app it would launch that as well. The problem of it gobbling memory is not confined to Yosemite. The thread that I saw this description in discussed the problem for users running Snow Leopard. As a temporary test try creating a new user account and see if things behave properly there. If they do then the problem would seem to be in some file / preference specific to the current user account. [/QUOTE]
