Product Description
You've finally figured out how to use that digital camera you got for the holidays; now if only you could figure out what to do with the tons of digital photos you're suddenly amassing! Enter iPhoto 4. Included on all new Macs, it solves this problem (and then some!) by offering a plethora of creative options for organizing, sharing, and editing digital photos. This easy-going guide ensures you make the most of it. Using simple, step-by-step instructions peppered with tons of visual aids, best-selling author Adam Engst tackles all that's old and new in iPhoto 4. You'll learn the ins and outs of using iPhoto both separately and in tandem with the other iLife apps--adding GarageBand-created tracks to your slideshows, using iPhoto slide shows in iDVD and iMovie projects, and more. Best of all, you'll discover all of iPhoto's newest (and coolest) features: cinematic transitions, Smart Albums, a star rating system for organizing photos, Rendezvous photo sharing, and more.

Customer Reviews & Comments
Before picking this book up, I'd all but given up on iPhoto. I found it a bit too simple and way to encumbering of my system. But this book really changed my perspective. Well, this book and the fact that I needed a better way to organize my pictures on my Mac than simply having massive folders of pictures. The book is very accessible and although I thought I was familiar with the program, it opened a lot of new doors and taught me a lot I didn't know. It also provided resources for other programs that work well with iPhoto and how to connect iPhoto to Photoshop (or any digital image editor) so I can do more advanced editing outside of iPhoto. I think most important for me was learning that I didn't need to have my photos all in one library - that I could use a separate program like the iPhoto Library Manager to make separate, context specific, libraries. This was amazing, as the more photos in a library, the more encumbering it can be on your system. Without a doubt, I find this to be one of the best and simple books out there covering iPhoto. I highly recommend it!
