iPhoto 6: The Missing Manual
If you used iPhoto when it first came out, you'll remember
the way it slowed to a crawl once you loaded it with about
2,000 photos. Compare that to this year's model: iPhoto 6
can handle as many as 250,000 images and still have the
power to run a host of suped-up features. Its new software
engine lets you make changes with
a drag & drop editing
tool, find photos with a robust search feature, and
manipulate images without affecting the originals in your
master library. You can also:
View and work on full-screen images
Make quick edits with one click
Work with RAW images
Create cool new calendars, greeting cards and books
Post photos online with the new iWeb application
Use a method of sharing called "Photocasting"
Apple makes it all sound so easy: just drag this, click that
and you're done. But, as intuitive as these features are,
you can still get lost, especially if you're new to iPhoto.
Not to worry. iPhoto 6: The Missing Manual gives you plenty
of undocumented tips & tricks for taking advantage of the
new version and every little feature packed into it.
It's the top-selling iPhoto book for good reason. With wit
and objectivity, David Pogue and Derrick Story start you out
with a crash course on digital photography, complete with
tutorials on buying a camera, composing brilliant photos in
various situations (sports, portraits, nighttime shots, even
kid photography), and making digital movies. From there,
you'll dive into every detail of iPhoto, from
camera-meets-Mac basics to storing, searching, editing, and
creating books, calendars and greeting cards. You'll learn
to build a personal web site built with iWeb, and discover
"Photocasting"-the new service that allows. Mac subscribers
to publish photo albums online so that others can use the
photos, even if they work on PCs.
With iPhoto 6, you could add 1000 photos a month for the
next 20 years and not fill it. With iPhoto 6: The Missing
Manual, you can get going in no time.
