Skipping Shots You’ve Already Imported

You wisely took my advice and told iPhoto to not delete photos from your camera after an import (see page 7). But you forgot to erase the card before shooting another two-dozen shots.

No problem. When you connect your camera and switch to iPhoto’s Import pane, iPhoto separates those photos you’ve already imported from those you haven’t and won’t import those unless you specifically select them.
