How do I get digital images into Photoshop?
I just bought a Canon Powershot A1000 IS digital camera and am trying out various things with it. Everything works fine. I have downloaded the images on my Mac computer and would like to enhance them using Photoshop. So far nothing has worked. I can't place or import any of the images. Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong?

In Photoshop
click on File
click on Get Photos and Videos
click on From Files and Folders
select Files or Folder you want
click on Get Photos button

Hope this helps

You can also drag the image to the Photoshop icon and it should automatically open the program and image.

I'm lazy lol,> I go to finder,> all images, then put/drag what I want on the desktop for the time and go from there.

If I am trying to pull a RAW file in, then I'll open up Photoshop, go to file and open new image... but I'm a lazy joe, so I tend to always drag from my folder where I stash them... Lord knows I have so many images on my desktop that I need to clean it up!

Now I'm inspired by ya'll to organize my files again!

:P

I imagine that you are using iPhoto to look at your images? If so, do the following:

1. Open iPhoto, go to "Preferences" (look for "Preferences" in the menu), and then change the Preferences so that PhotoShop is the photo editing application. So if now you click on any of the photos in the iPhoto's window, and then click on "Edit" at the bottom of the window, PhotoShop automatically launches and open the photo for you. The next step is to enhance the photo to your liking, and then save it in iPhoto.

2. If you want to e-mail the photo to a friend, all you have to do is to click on the photo one time, and then on "Mail Photo" at the bottom of the iPhoto's window. It will give you options such as these: Full Image, Medium, Small. You may not want to e-mail a large photo, but a medium to small is fine.

But you can also open any photo to edit with PhotoShop as told by another poster above. Just launch PhotoShop first, and then:

Select "Open" in the top menu, then select the folder or location where the photo is located, and then click on the photo. A thumbnail photo appears on the PhotoShop Screen showing you the correct photo. If that's not the one, click on another, and another, etc., until it shows the right one. Then click on that photo another time, or just click on OPEN (or Choose) at the bottom of the window.

Finally, you can download the camera's images with PhotoShop if you want. When PhtoShop is launched, a window appears on the screen asking you if you want to download photos from the printer, camera, etc. If the camera or card reader is connected to the computer just before you launch PhotoShop, all have to do next is to choose "Download From Camera."
