How to add photos from my camera to a folder

[Liquid yellow 182]

Bit of a n00bish question but whenever I connect my camera to my MBP im only able to add photos via iphoto which is good sometimes but other times I just want to add pics to a folder. How can I do this? thanks

Shouldn't the camera appear under Devices in Finder? then u locate the folder that has ur photos, then drag it into the folder u wish to store them..

Thats how i do it

Don't seem to appear under devices which is my problem really or I'd have done what you said already. Hmm

 

[Hazza]

What camera is it?.. and how are u linking it up to your laptop?

if you don't want iphoto to open when connecting a camera just go to iphoto preferences look at the bottom of the window and change the setting so no application opens when a camera is detected.
From there just do as Hazza says just open your camera from either the desktop or device list on the sidebar and drag to what ever folder you desire

done the above and only place it seems to register my camera is on iphoto and some photos I just want to save to a folder. surely everyone doesn't save alllll there pics to iphoto
