So how do you pull photos and videos from your iPhone now that iPhoto is gone?

Please tell me it's not some conglomerated process involving Apple Image Capture and Apple Photos...

It's not. See the information below which is from Photos Help:

To bring photos in to the Photos app, you can connect a camera, iOS device, or other mobile device to your computer and import the photos from there.

You can also import photos from a camera’s memory card. To find out how, see Import photos and video from storage media.

Open Photos for me


Import photos from a camera or iOS device

  1. Connect a camera, iPad, iPhone, or other iOS device to your computer with a USB cable.
  2. Make sure the camera or device is turned on and the camera is set to the correct mode for importing photos.For information on which mode to choose, see the instructions provided with your camera. If your camera has a “sleep” mode, make sure it’s disabled or set to a time increment long enough to allow your images to download.
  3. Open Photos (if it isn’t already open), then click Import in the toolbar.Note: The Import button only appears when a camera or storage device is connected.User uploaded filePhotos displays all the photos and videos on the device.Tip: If you want Photos to open whenever you connect this device, click the Action button User uploaded file, then choose “Open Photos for this device.”
  4. If you want to delete photos from the camera after importing them, click the Action button User uploaded file, then choose “Delete items after import.”
  5. Do one of the following:
    • Import all new photos: Click Import All New Photos.
    • Import a selection of photos: Click the photos you want to import, then click Import Selected.
  6. If a message asks whether you want to delete or keep the photos on your camera after they’re imported, click Delete Items to remove the photos, or click Keep Items to keep them on the camera.Photos imports your photos. To cancel importing, click Stop Import.
  7. When all photos have been imported, disconnect the camera or device from your computer.

Imported photos appear in the Last Import album in Albums view.

If you have photos taken with a film camera, you can import them into Photos by converting them to digital files (using the Image Capture app and a home scanner). After importing the digital files into Photos, you can edit them and add them to albums and projects, just as you can any other digital photos. You can also use the Image Capture app to set Photos to open automatically whenever you connect your camera. For more information, open Image Capture in the Applications folder, then choose Help > Image Capture Help.


Tip: You can change the date and time of scanned images in Photos; select the image and choose Image > Adjust Date and Time.
