--- You wrote: Perhaps I need to rephrase my question? Is it possible to upload a digital photograph from my hard drive to a digital camera (not camcorder)? Will iPhoto do this and/or are there only specific models of cameras this is possible with? I'm guessing this would be useful for when you edit a photo on your Mac then want to dump it onto the SD card or whatever on your camera so you can drop it off for printing at a real print shop.
Larry --- end of quote --- I don't use iPhoto so I can't answer about that software. If you are using the camera software, It depends on the camera and the software. Some cameras allow the memory card to appear on your desktop as a drive. In that case you can write to it and read to it as if it were your boot drive. Other cameras interface with their software and don't do a very good job allowing access to the card in other ways. If your camera is in the latter class, spend $15 for a card reader (the price for a usb 1 or 2 Compact Flash reader. Other card formats readers may be a bit more expensive.) A card reader will allow you to read and write to the card like a drive and is usually much faster at downloading camera pictures than is the camera. I use a Compact Flash card to move files from work to home all the time. (There are some problems moving Mac files in osX on a card formatted in a camera, but not a problem for .jpeg photos.) I don't know if your print shop could access photos uploaded to the card from iPhoto, but it certainly could read a .jpg in the root directory of a card if you put it there with a card reader. For speed, I bought a Compact Flash Card reader that connects to the firewire port as usb 2 isn't reliable on my machine. It moves about 200 megs a minute with a standard, not high speed, cf card!
