iPhoto really slow
Hi I'm a new mac user, just bought an entry level macbook. I'm importing some raw images I shot on my canon digital rebel with iPhoto and it's literally taking 20+ minutes for 38 images. That's with the camera connected directly to the macbook via usb2.0.
That's just way too long. It never took anywhere near that long on my old PC running and Athlon 2000 chip with either windows import or picasa.
There has got to be something set wrong, am I right? It should only take maybe 5 minutes tops for an entire 512MB CF card.
Another thing I've noticed is that iPhoto doesn't show you little thumbnail previews of your images before you import. Allowing you to select which ones you want to import. Even the basic windows import allows you to do that. So I've got to believe something is also set wrong there.
Any help would be great, thanks.
