Nikon Picture Project with iPhoto

Hi Ron,

I actually have the same software from Nikon, and wasn't able to open it!

I don't think it needs to be intsalled in order to get your pictures off. Were you able to transfer your pics into your iphoto?

k

I recently purchased a Nikon digital camera. It came
with a Nikon Picture Project CD which I never
installed. Is Picture Project basically the same as
iPhoto and do I really need it? I didn't want to
install P.P. thinking maybe it was incompatible with
iPhoto 5. Anyone know if P.P. has something
additional that iPhoto doesn't have or should I just
not install?
Thanks for anyone's help.

Ron

Ron,

You do not have to install Picure Project, as you can connect toyour mac via the USB cable that came with your camera, however if you the camera has WiFi capability, the Piture Project application is the only way (that I know of) that you can use the WiFi feature. iphoto will not recognize the WiFi transfer. If you don't have that, or don't sue it, than no need to install the Nikon Picture Perfect application.

I hope that iphoto will soon be able to recognize the WiFi feature from my new Nikon Coolpix...

Isn't it true that Picture Project can handle RAW better than iPhoto can?

I have it as well but haven't use it. The interface looks quite ugly...
