Definitely one of the poorest iTunes features is the way it handles Pictures
Whether you want to:
- Get Photos off iPhone
- Download Photos to iPhone
- Transfer Pictures from iPhone to Computer
- Copy Photos from iPhone to PC
- Add Photos to iPhone
- Delete / Remove / Erase Photos individually from iPhone
- etc...
iTunes is way too limited
What we need is a visual interface with thumbnails we can drag between iPhone Albums and Computer Folders
We've been looking around for a long time and tested all possible iPhone Photo Management softwares
Most were disappointing until we bumped into a pretty cool piece of software
It's a two-sided Program, which clearly shows iPhone Photographs on one side and Computer Pictures on the other
You can move, drag photos both ways from Computer to iPhone and the other way round, create Photo Albums, rename and edit existing ones, etc...
