how to import photos from your camera into Adobe Photoshop
You can copy images to your computer by connecting your camera or a media card reader to your computer.
- Use the Get Photos From Camera command in Adobe Bridge to download photos, and to organize, rename, and apply metadata from them.
- If your camera or the card reader appears as a drive on your computer, copy images directly to your hard disk or into Adobe Bridge.
- Use the software that came with your camera, Windows Image Acquisition (WIA), or Image Capture (Mac OS). For more information on using Windows Image Acquisition or Image Capture, see your computer documentation.
Import images from a digital camera using WIA (Windows only)
Certain digital cameras import images using Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) support. When you use WIA, Photoshop works with Windows and your digital camera or scanner software to import images directly into Photoshop.
- Choose File > Import > WIA Support.
- Select a destination in which to save your image files on your computer.
- Make sure that Open Acquired Images in Photoshop is selected. If you are importing a large number of images, or if you want to edit the images later, deselect Open Acquired Images.
- To save the imported images directly into a folder whose name is the current date, select Unique Subfolder
- Click Start.
