iPhoto 5: The Missing Manual

by David Pogue & Derrick Story

Published by Pogue Press
O'Reilly Media, Inc. - 2005

Called "The book that should have been in the box," this iPhoto 5 manual offers a whopping 400 pages of tricks, tips, and good, solid information you won't find anywhere else. If it sounds like too steep of a learning curve, let me assure you that this is NOT your father's technical manual. It's user-friendly, well-designed, and long overdue.

Anyone who has ever transferred photos from a digital camera to computer knows that it's a fairly easy process. But what do you do to organize all those pictures, once you dump them in your little yellow folder? (See? And you thought you didn't need this book?)

The Missing Manual will streamline the way you edit and organize photos. You might even learn more than you anticipated, such as how to choose a camera that's right for you...how to transform an ordinary snapshot into a work of art...what to do if Aunt Mabel hates her wrinkly portrait...how to correct shadows, colors that are off, and lighting problems...and more!

An attractive layout helps you locate information quickly. You'll find features such as:

  1. Organize your iPhoto Library into albums. (You can create new libraries with the iLibrary, too)
  2. Attach keywords to photo albums, to make them easy to find using Search.
  3. Learn about one-click fixes to photos.
  4. Create a slideshow set to music!
  5. Design photo books to share with family and friends.
  6. Create and edit digital camera movies using QuickTime. Use favorite photos in iDVD, and burn on blank CDs.

The only thing limiting your use of iPhoto is your imagination, and iPhoto: The Missing Manual is the jump-start. How special is that?
