Is the continuity camera just supposed to make it easier to transfer files from phone to computer or vice versa? How would I use it with iTunes, logic, or final cut? Thank you, Payam

How do I MOVE pictures from the iPhone Camera Roll to my PC. By MOVE, I mean the original picture from the iPhone litterally quits the Camera Roll to be relocated on the PC. It seems all you can do, is sent a copy (which modifies the metadata) to the PC which leaves the original on the phone. Is there a way to MOVE/Relocate an original picture in a place other than the Apple environment?
