SIG 229RQuestion about moving photos on iMac
I have a Nikon D3100 camera for which I have downloaded the software NX1 which I have downloaded pics. from my camera to but they are not showing up in my Photos on my computer. I can only see them when using the View NX1 app. I would like to move them to my regular photo section on my computer but can't seem to find a way to do it.
Do I need to hook up my camera again and use the image capture app from my computer, or is there another way?

Angus the KidJust insert the film (SD Card) into the Mac and then import the photos into Photos.
If you use a separate application to import the pics, it will interfere with Photos.

I inserted the SD card first but no menu popped up for it.

Rey HRHIf the images are saved in a normal format, go to your C:/Users/
Your User Name/ [Name of folder that your D3100 camera software used to store the pics].
Otherwise, you would have to hook your camera again, and use it like a USB drive and copy the pictures over to your picture folder in your camera.
I can't imagine that Nikon would use anything other than a standard format like .JPG files.

We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly.

Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Use your file explorer to view the contents of the SD card.

GaryBFOn my iMac, I go to "Finder", open the House icon and look under "Pictures" for folder "Nikon transfer" for photo folders.
Are you actually transferring your photos or just viewing them? Transfer is in the top tool bar of the Nikon NX window.

Angus the KidInsert your card. Open Finder and find your card location and select all pics in the card.
drag the pics to the Photos app located in the bottom dock bar.
Do not use a third party program.
