Hello
How can I import an image into GIMP, please, from a digital camera? I connect my camera to my PC tower, and what would I do then?
Thanks!
Seriouslty, don't. The camera connection is outrageously slow. It is much faster to stick the SD card in a card reader (very often built-in the PC these days, otherwise a few dollars) and copy all the images to disk (you should also avoid to work directly off the card), and then load the picture in Gimp from the disk. Gimp may also be forbidden by Windows security to look at files on removable media, be it the camera or the SD card in a reader. And on modern systems, when connected to the PC the camera doesn't appear as a regular file system but as an image device and Gimp can't do anything with that.
If you need an instant display on the PC, some cameras can work in "tethered" mode with a USB cable between PC and camera (or over wifi) but this requires an application from the camera's manufacturer.
