Import Smartphone Photos Faster on your Mac with Preview

Import Smartphone Photos Faster on your Mac with Preview Even with Photo Stream, iPhoto can be too slow and bloated to be your primary means of importing photos to your Mac, but Preview has a little-known feature that can access your smartphone's photos quickly.

To try out the feature, connect your smartphone via USB (Android users will need to enable PTP over USB connections), open Preview, and hit File > Import From (your device's name). This will bring up a grid of files that you can drag and drop anywhere on your Mac, or open directly in Preview. This isn't a groundbreaking feature by any means; it's functionally pretty similar to OS X's built-in Image Capture utility. Even so, it's extremely convenient if you don't want to futz with file directories and just need to quickly view and crop a photo or two with Preview's built-in tools.
