Didn’t know this. I’ll check it out. Currently I have a little over 1000 images on my phone. About 250 were shot last weekend. I wanted to export only them. And that is my usual practice—exporting just the most recent set of images. I will never want to export every thing. (That was my disappointment with the AnyTrans app. There’s supposed to be a way to select the images to be transferred. It was not very obvious.) So the question I’ll want to answer is whether I can select the images on my phone export/import. And how convenient it is to make the selection. >> >>> 2- Going from an iOS device to a macOS device with a Lightning to USB >>> cable: plug in the iPhone and start Image Capture, select the iPhone.

That makes the most sense. Again, that is my goal.

That’s been my practice when importing photos from my camera into Lightroom. I use a combination of the date and a short descriptive title.

I generally post a large number of images from a specific shoot to Flickr—from less than 10 to around 20. I do so as a record of the activity, event, or experience. I’m aware that I’m being less selective than I would be if I were selecting only for artistic merit. I’ve thought that maybe I should set up another Flickr account just for my very best images. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] “...we are a form of invitation to others and to otherness..." - David Whyte -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
