Previewing photos on Iphone using mac OS
 
Yes, I am familiar with iphoto (one of the worst mfing pieces of software I have ever dealt with), preview and image capture. All of these apps are equally worthless.

I want to plug in my iphone, access the photos and see a FULL SIZE preview, and quickly scroll through them so I can decide which one I want to use. I would LOVE to avoid having to import the photo so that I can upload it directly to flickr, or open it for editing. Why doesn't the mac OS just treat the iphone like any other hard drive? Very, very clunky.

Kind of sad that my 7 year old XP box is about 100x better at dealing with photos than a new MacBook Pro. That being said, my XP box catches infections faster than girls that hang out by the docks...

Image Capture, in your Apps folder.

Lower left you can set the iPhone to launch Image Capture by default on connect.

I have a netbook running Ubuntu. There is no iTunes option with Ubuntu. When I plug my iPhone into the Ubuntu netbook it just pops open the photo browser. It sees the iPhone as a hard drive with photos on it. There are no Ubuntu viruses.

There are no ubuntu softwares either glen.... ;)

Hence why you don't have iTunes.....

I've messed with all three, so far I have been the most pleased with OSX...

If you really want ti to behave like a PC then get MacFuse, macfuse - Project Hosting on Google Code then iPhone Disk, iphonedisk - Project Hosting on Google Code

My netbook accessed my iPhone, found the photos and downloaded the images with no problems. I could then run PhotoShop under the windows emulator and edit the photos in a program I already know right in Ubuntu.

Just toss The GIMP on the Netbook. No need to mess with PS in emulation.

No kidding, fiddling with the emulator would be more trouble than it worth.... Why not just run windoze....

PhotShop is what I know how to run. It runs just fine under Wine.
