Easy way to take pictures and send them through Mac

I have at least seven cameras, but I use them so infrequently--once or twice a year--that I usually avoid trying to take a picture to send through my Mac, simply because I don't remember what to do. There is one exception: Photo Booth. I sometimes take pictures with Photo Booth. It's simple enough, even for me, but the results are unsatisfactory. Say, I want to copy an LP. Yes, I can do it, but the results are just not very good. Anyway, I now want to send a picture of a little gadget, but I want to produce a decent picture. Are there now gadgets, or apps, or ??? that make picture taking and transmission easy.?

You did it again. The test photos are now in the Photo section, so I'll stop for now. However, it does bother and baffle me that the two three-slot card readers I just bought won't accept any of my cards. It just doesn't seem right that only the one-slot refugee from the dust bin works. It bothered me so much that I just bought ANOTHER card reader. Maybe my UGREEN SD Card Reader USB 3.0 Card Hub Adapter 5Gbps Read 4 Cards Simultaneously CF, CFI, TF, SDXC, SDHC, SD, MMC, Micro SDXC, Micro SD, Micro SDHC, MS, UHS-I for Windows, Mac, Linux will do the job. If it doesn't, I'll have no choice but to sigh and go back to "old faithful," Thanks a million for your patience and your help.

Thank, but I'm not interested in a discussion about semantics, which is what such a discussion about "copying" vs "taking a picture" is.

I tried to delete this when I found that more instructions are needed. I'll be back if I ever find instructions that help.

Thanks for the tips, but I'm now going to wait until I receive another cable and card reader. If the Nike technician couldn't help, I figure the hardware must be at fault.

Thanks. I should have thought of "Spotlight."

To import the photos into your library just drag the files onto the Photos icon in your Dock. They will then show up in the Photos, Imports and Recents views.

You're free to name brands. It doesn't really matter. They're all pretty much the same. Buy one that has decent reviews on Amazon.

Image Capture is located in the Applications/Utilities folder. Or just do a Spotlight search for Image Capture and click on it in the Spotlight window.
