I don't want my pictures to start loading automatically from my SD card. How to I stop the auto load to my computer?

When I put my SD card into my imac it automatically starts loading into an autoload program. I don't want this to happen. I want to be able to just open my card and drag my files where I want them to be.


I cannot figure out how to turn this feature off. Please help me with this.



Thanks

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Just to cover all possibilities, open iPhoto > Preferences and make sure you have the same "no application" marked there:


User uploaded file


And, make sure your Finder Preferences are set to show external disks on the desktop - that way, your card's icon on the desktop and you can do with the pictures as you wish.


@ Joe: did you edit your post? I swear that last sentence of yours wasn't there when I started typing........
