Product Description
Owning a digital camera makes it easy to snap tons of photos. But once you import them from your camera to your computer, it’s organizing, editing, and printing those digital photos that can cause you headaches. What to do with the piles of digital photos you're suddenly amassing? Enter iPhoto 5. Included on all new Macs, iPhoto 5 is a significant update to Apple's photo-editing component of its revolutionary iLife '05 suite.Aside from organizing, sharing, and editing digital photos, iPhoto lets you create stunning slideshows, assemble photo albums, and burn your images to DVD, to name a few features.

Written by longtime Macintosh authority and best-selling author Adam Engst, this smart, thoughtful guide ensures you make the most of it. Using simple, step-by-step instructions accompanied by copious screenshots, this book tackles all that's old and new in iPhoto 5. With the help of Adam’s sharp advice and insightful instruction, 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: creating softcover photo books in multiple sizes, using iPhoto’s advanced editing tools to sharpen and clean up your photos, searching for images with iPhoto’s spiffy new search tools, importing photos shot in RAW format, creating cinematic slideshows, and much more. With this book, you’ll soon be shooting, organizing, and sharing your digital photos with ease.

This is a really helpful addition for any mac owner that wants to really use all that iphoto has to offer! Easy to understand even for cyber dummies . (Like me)


5 out of 5 stars Great book!   May 19, 2005

I'm a long time Mac user and have been using iPhoto since it came out. This book really hits every aspect of the program, and tells not only what's there, but how and why to use it. Examples are concise and relevant. This book is a good book for an advanced iPhoto user, and a must have for the beginner. Apple should include a copy of this book with every Mac.

I only found two points to comment on in the book:

1) You don't need to rename the iPhoto Library folder or use any third party tools to maintain multiple iPhoto Libraries. You can simply hold down the Option key when launching iPhoto and iPhoto will ask if you want to create a new library or find an existing one. This worked with iPhoto 4.

2) One thing users can do to improve the performance of iPhoto is to turn off the Drop shadow option in the Appearance preference. I don't think he mentioned that.

Otherwise he hit everything a person using iPhoto needs to know about. Great book!
