- Press the appropriate button for the type of input you want to add
- Camera: camera devices (SLRs, Point and shoot, smartphone, tablet, iPods)
- Choose the folders, libraries, or devices you would like to add, and press the ‘check’ button.You can repeat this process for any folder, iPhoto Library, or PhotoBooth Library, to get all of your photos/videos into Silent Sifter.
