store photos on Mac to all you photoshop and mac users...WHERE do you import and store your photos? I am new to both photoshop and Mac (had photoshop elements and a windows pc) and find iphoto confusing and less friendly than my pictures where I stored and sorted all my photos before. Would love to hear what you do!!

Hello Tara, I am not an iPhoto fan and dont use it. I have Photoshop CS3 and use Adobe Photo downloader (which comes with CS3/4) to download my images via a Sandisk firewire CF Card reader. Adobe downloader gives you the option to select the drive you want to save the images to and you can also select a name & number for the images so when they download into your folder, they will appear as you want them. Example: a raw image IMG_0256.cr2 will be renamed and sent as HSMF07_0001.cr2 (HSMF07) tells me that this image is the High Sierra Music Festival 2007 and then are numbered sequentially for all the images on that card. email me & I will send you the exact list of drives, etc that I use. I then use Bridge to view & rate the images and to select images to open in Photoshop for editing. I am waiting for Lightroom3 to be released and I may make a change at that time as they are making great leaps with that software. Love in Light,

Carlton, how do you get to the downloader? I have CS4. When I pop in my card to the computer something called "image capture" wants to open it, but I get no options other than where to download.

Hi Tara, Its kind of a hidden part of Adobe Bridge. Open Bridge and go to File>Get Photos from Camera - the downloader window should pop up. I place this in the dock in my MACs and select "Keep in Dock" so that it is always viewable/accessible. I then disable all the other stuff that pops up when I insert a card as this is the only one I want to use but it will automatically detect when you insert a CF card & also launch Bridge since it is a part of that program. Try it and let me know if this works. Carlton

One more thing to mention about the downloader, you can input your metadata as well as select "save copies to" if you have a secondary drive you want to save them to, it will download, rename/number & save the images to 2 drives at the same time.
