GIMP- How do I Import pictures from a Camera

[src2206]

Hello

I am using Ubuntu 7.04 with GIMP 2.2. I am trying to find out how to import pictures from a Digital Camera which is connected to the PC via an USB cable. I tried to search through the GIMP help file, but could not locate anything conclusive!

So could any one please help me out?

Thank you.

Check this HowTo:

Upload Images from a Digital Camera to an Ubuntu PC - For Dummies

I think it will help you to get the job done.

Well, I am trying to find out how it can be done using GIMP only. Basically, me and some of my friends are preparing a guide for GIMP and its use with a Digital Camera, in our mother tongue. So I hope you understand we would like to make as distro independent as possible.
Hence it would be nice if you (or any one else) might help me out on a way to import images using GIMP from a DigiCam.

Thanks again

Not really sure, but I don't think gimp can do that.

Check this Ubuntu HowTo for more info that might help:

Hi src2206 !

Isn't your digicam's details appearing under File -- Acquire Menu of GIMP?
I am using Debian and I have Sony Digicam. Whenever I plug it in, its Icon appear on Desktop and Digicam Model under Acquire menu of GIMP. I can edit files of cam directly through GIMP.

Thanks devils_casper

I do not have any DigiCam yet. I shall surely ask one of my co worker to bring the Kodack DigiCam, on which the tutorial is based. Basically we were not at all sure whether it is possible to acquire or not.

Thanks again..

BTW, happy new year
