iPhone Tip: Quickly Download iPhone Images to the computer

This little quick tip will have you pulling images off of your iPhone and iPod touch so fast it’ll catch fire! This tip is for OS X only. I am going to show you the easiest way to download images off of your iPhone and iPod Touch without having the hassle of syncing.

First, plug your iPhone or iPod Touch into your mac. Go to your Applications folder and open the application called “image capture” the application will usually detect your iPhone right away. If you do not have anything plugged into the USB port, you will receive this message. You can plug the device in while the application is running.

When the device is plugged in you will see this dialog.

You now have a quick way to transfer the images from your device directly to your computer. There are multiple import options, you can click browse to select individual pictures by holding down the Command key and clicking the images, or you can select to download them all. The application will also give you the option to import all images when you plug the iPhone in.

Image capture also works with most digital cameras as well. I know this might be a silly post, though I have found out many people were unaware that Image Capture could download the images from the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Image Resize App

Image Resize is now Snow Leopard compatible.

Are you tired of having to fire up Photoshop or any other image manipulation program just to resize a handful of images?

I was, so I decided to program a little application that would allow you to resize images on the fly! If you’ve had this same problem, this program is for you. You can download it for free by clicking download below.

Image Resize supports the most popular image formats. Jpg, Jpeg, PNG, Gif, Bmp, etc. You can also convert file types by changing the file extension when saving your image.

Screen shots!

The current version is 1.5 This version is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and 10.6 Snow Leopard. The application only weighs about 1 megabyte. Please download it and give it a try!

Read Me

This program is only available for OS X version 10.5 Leopard and 10.6 Snow Leopard. The application might run on 10.4 Tiger on an Intel machine. I have not tested this on PPC or Tiger, so you are on your own.

Image Resize can only resize one image at a time. In the future I plan on allowing it to be able to accept folders and multiple files at once. These features are planned for the future. Please support the development by donating! I will do my best to keep this application updated on a regular basis.

Thanks. – ghostshadow
