El Capitan & Adobe Photo Importer

Try this:

Find your IMAGE CAPTURE.app:
Open Finder

Select Applications

Find Image Capture.app

Open it up.

Connect a digital camera or insert an SD CARD.

At the bottom left of Image Capture there will be an up arrow, click that.

If you connected with a camera, you will find it here with an option to open a program for this connection.

You can also import images from here to a folder or a program. Worked nicely for me. :-)

Why do we pay a monthly fee to have the most recent Adobe products if they are not kept up to date. We shouldn't have to use workarounds to make your products work. Figure this out Adobe. I haven't been satisfied with your products since I switched over from CS6.

I don't know if this will help everyone, but I thought I'd add my approach to download RAW (and jpg). I attach my Canon 50D (and Nikon Coolpix, iPhone 6) to my iMac via a USB cable. When I turn the camera on, Image Capture activates (I set that as a default when this problem arose). In Image Capture I designate a folder on my computer to send the files to. Once they're uploaded I can either open those images in Photoshop from the file, or, open the file with the Bridge. I'm not professional photographer but I do take a lot of photos and this method has been satisfactory for my purposes. I agree, someone needs to light a fire under Adobe. On my iMac, every app and piece software works or had been modified to work with El Capitan by the app's software folks . Why not Adobe?

no news from Adobe for quite a while, it is disappointment really as was expecting some feedback from them, oh well I guess every penny I paid is not really worth every penny!

Yes a bit of info would be nice. Is the next update to El Capitan likely to solve it or is Adobe going to have a work out the solution alone? Considering how many photographers use Macs and Adobe software this is all rather surprising and disappointing.

Crickets.

That's all I hear when I look for a solution to this. And it has been four weeks now.

Running Photoshop CC2015 and Bridge CC same version. Worked fine until I installed El Capitan. I am able to select CF cards from my 5DsR in the photo downloader app. I am unable to select my Fujifilm XE1 camera when it is connected directly via the USB cable and I cannot select the card when it is inserted in a USB reader. Other applications see the card.

Hello?

Is this thing working?

I can't get an files off my camera...

I wonder if using the trial version of Lightroom is a solution for some for now? I assume this is working with El Capitan and allows upload of image files.

Hello Adobe, would you please inform us what is happening with the photo downloader issue!! We have been waited so long... You have a professional software and we expect you to have professional reactions for getting the software back in track...

Here is my 'workaround' for what it is worth.

We are fortunate enough to have several Mac desktops and several Mac laptops.  Does anyone still use Windows?

We have learned from experience that whenever there is an Apple OS upgrade there are problems.  It takes Apple and Adobe several months after the release of a new OS to sort those problems out.  We've been 'bit' so many times before.

When there is a new Apple OS we now only upgrade ONE of our desktops and we see if there are problems. First law:  There are ALWAYS problems.  Second law: There is usually nothing we can do about it both Apple and Adobe remain, on the face of it, largely unresponsive. 

I'm sure Apple and Adobe are beavering away in the background but you wouldn't think so.  They are usually silent when it comes to problems with their software.

So, for images, we load our images from our cameras to one of our Yosemite machines using the Adobe uploader as usual.  Everything still works under Yosemite (raw images uploaded).  We then copy our images from our working computers to a portable hard drive and then upload them from the portable hardrive onto the El Capitan machine.  Adobe software under El Capitan almost works correctly.

We now have a new Law.  Law 3.  NEVER upgrade to a new version of an Apple OS for at least a year!

We also have another new Law.  Law 4:  We ask Adobe for a rebate on our month CC fee when their software fails.  Strangely, we never get a rebate.  Indeed, they never reply to our mails.

Hope this helps.

it is not enough, that it does not work import to Bridge CC, also does not work Camera Control Pro II at all.....
