Overview

Apple has taken iPhoto 08 to a whole new level. Now, in addition to handling upwards of 250,000 images, the program lets you easily categorize and navigate through those photos with a feature called "Events". Plus, new editing tools let you copy and paste adjustments between photos. Books and calendars have been improved, too, as has the program's ability to publish pictures on the Web.

Apple makes it all sound easy: drag this, click that, and you're done. But you can still get lost, especially if you're a newcomer. iPhoto '08: The Missing Manual explains how to take advantage of all these powerful tools and new features without confusion or frustration. Bestselling authors David Pogue and Derrick Story give you a witty, objective, and clear-cut explanation of how things work, with plenty of undocumented tips and tricks for mastering the new iPhoto.

Four sections help you import, organize, edit, share, and even take your photos:

  • Digital Photography: The Missing Manual offers a course in picture-taking and digital cameras — how to buy and use your digital camera, how to compose brilliant photos in various situations (sports, portraits, nighttime shots, even kid photography), and how to get the most out of batteries and memory cards.
  • iPhoto Basics covers the fundamentals of getting your photos into iPhoto, organizing and filing them, searching and editing them.
  • Meet Your Public teaches you all about slideshows, making or ordering prints, creating books, calendars and greeting cards, and sharing photos on web sites or by email.
  • iPhoto Stunts explains how to turn photos into screen savers or desktop pictures, using plug-ins, managing Photo Libraries, and even getting photos to and from camera phones and Palm organizers.
You also learn how to build a personal web site built with iWeb, and much more in this comprehensive guide. It's the top-selling iPhoto book for good reason.

    SMILE!! YOU'RE ON IPHOTO!!

    Are you a professional photographer? If you are, then this book is for you. Authors David Pogue and Derrick Story, have done an outstanding job of writing a book that is designed to serve as the iPhoto manual. Pogue and Story, begin by covering buying, using, and exploiting your digital camera choosing the proper image resolution settings and, getting the most out of batteries and memory cards. Next, the authors cover the fundamentals of getting your photos into iPhoto, organizing and filing them, searching them, and editing them to compensate for weak lighting. Then, they cover the many ways iPhoto can present those photos to other people: as a slideshow, as prints you order from the internet or make yourself, as a professionally published gift book, on a Web page, by e-mail, or as a QuickTime-movie slide-show that you post on the Web or distribute on CD or even DVD. Finally, the authors cover a miscellaneous potpourri of additional iPhoto features, including: turning photos into screen savers or desktop pictures on your Mac exporting photos in various formats, using iPhoto plug-ins and accessory programs managing Photo Libraries backing up your photos using iPhoto¿s Burn to CD command and, even getting photos to and from cameraphones and Palm organizers. This most excellent book provides an invaluable grounding in professional photography. More importantly, used together, any good digital camera and iPhoto have all the technical tools you need to produce photographic presentations of stunning visual quality.
