Believe it or not, w/ TeXshop it's mostly ``drag and drop'' and if  
you drop a graphic in you'll get something like:

\includegraphics[]{../Desktop/Listing.pdf}

and all you need to add to support it is:

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\DeclareGraphicsRule{.tif}{png}{.png}{`convert #1 `dirname #1`/ 
`basename #1 .tif`.png}

(that's from the LaTeXTemplate stored under the ``Templates'' button  
in the TeXshop button bar)

There's even a graphics template:

\begin{figure}[htbp] %  figure placement: here, top, bottom, or page
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=2in]{example.jpg}
    \caption{example caption}
    \label{fig:example}
\end{figure}

and lots more hidden away under ``More'' --- read the graphicx  
documentation for more information on the graphics angle.
