    Because you have a problem you need to address

     

    As we do now know you and can not see you if you want help you actually have to share information - see Writing an effective Apple Support Communities question  for help is writing an answerable question

    FIrst, I link my iphone to my Mac.

    Then, I choose some photos that I want to save on computer, and submit "import".

    However, I have no idea where those photos are in my computer.

    Sorry but we actually need details including the version of the OS and of iPhoto

     

    the general answer is that after importing into iPhoto you will see the photos in the last import album - and in an event for the date/time you importe them

    After you connect your iPhone an application will launch to import the photos.  Which application is that?

     

    You are posting in the iPhoto forum, so are you using iPhoto?  

    the problem is, we cannot see your Mac. So we have no idea which version of MacOS X you are running on your system or which photo application you are using.

    Whichever application opens, when you connect your iPhone, it will store your photos in its photo library.  You have to launch this application again from the Dock at the bottom of your display and look at the Last Import album.
