Image Capture Application

Image Capture is an application program that enables users to upload pictures from digital cameras or scanners which are either connected directly to the computer or the network. It provides no organizational tools like iPhoto but is useful for collating pictures from a variety of sources with no need for drivers. It achieves this by "receiving the picture" as it is and through a conversion process, downloads it onto your computer. It uses QuickTime Image Capture [ [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EKF/is_n2118_v42/ai_18345983 Apple picks Motorola MPU for image platform | Electronic News | Find Articles at BNET ] ] . This way it doesn't need to understand anything about the actual camera to be able to do that. It was first introduced in Mac OS X version 10.0 (Cheetah)

Image Capture is scriptable with Applescript, and may be manipulated with Mac OS X v10.4 (Tiger)'s "Automator" application. As of Mac OS X 10.4, Image Capture's AppleScript dictionary does not open in Script Editor.

Image Capture API

Image Capture is also the name of the Application programming interface associated with the Image Capture Application. Drivers or software built to use this interface can also automatically interface many imaging systems and software that run on Mac OS X. A Software Development Kit for Image Capture is [http://developer.apple.com/sdk/ available on the Mac Developer website] .
