I'm finding my iPhone photo download workflow to be a bit cumbersome.
Here are my requirements:
- Download photos+video off my iPhone Camera Roll, but keep photos on iPhone
- Only display/download new photos+video on iPhone since last download
- Avoid iPhoto, ideally, because it makes me a bit nervous
- Have all my iPhone-taken photos+video available to view on my iPhone
- Maintain all EXIF/GPS metadata at all costs
Currently, I use regular folder structure + Picasa for all of my digital photos, however for my iPhone, I use iPhoto because it will "only display new items" when I go to import photos off my iPhone
I'm finding that will 5000+ photos+videos on my iPhone, iPhoto generally takes a while (2-10 minutes) to 'find' my iPhone after I plug it in.
Ideally, I'd like to just use OSX's built in ImageCapture.app to download iPhone photos, but it loads/displays ALL the photos, not just the new ones since last sync (as iPhoto does..). I then have to know which was the last downloaded iPhone photo and download only the newer ones.
Picasa Import also loads/displays ALL photos on the iPhone (which is very cumbersome with so many images to load off the device...)
I guess I'd like to know if anyone has a similar workflow/requirements and how they do it.
My current plan is to set up a workflow that removes photos from the Camera Roll as I download them, but then have iTunes sync them back on as albums based on folders - I may even automatically resize them so I have smaller versions on the iPhone and the original full size versions on my Mac (so conserve previous iPhone storage space)
Thinking (hoping) that the latest version of Lightroom may accomplish some/all of this - testing needed. – Josh Newman – 2010-07-18T03:37:50.203
