If you haven’t taken a look at Image Capture lately, here are some of the time-saving tricks you’re missing out on. You can have multiple devices connected at once and choose among them, and even share their images with others on your network. Once you fire up the application, you can connect anything from an iPhone to a Canon 5D Mark II, browse images on the memory card, then download only the ones you want.
And in Snow Leopard, Apple completely overhauled Image Capture to make it even more useful. But it does a great job of grabbing a quick shot and performing complex actions without having to first add the images to iPhoto’s library.
This photo-savvy program, which lives in your Applications folder, may not have iPhoto’s beautiful interface, nor its vast feature set. Image Capture is one of OS X’s best kept secrets.
