Product Description
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 fromcamera 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.

3 out of 5 starsiPhoto'08, 2008-12-22
Actually I am only on page 94 of the 391 pages devoted to "text". That said, I have both a criticism and a compliment! The first 74 pages are devoted to using a digital camera. I found this a pain in the aspect that I am a "Monk" (referring to the TV series)in reading, that is you don't start on chapter 4 to get at what the book is really about. I would have liked these chapters at the end of the book. Now the compliment...as a retired professional "negative" photographer, I picked up some very good points for digital photography, in these "preview" chapters. To be fair, the author DID state you could skip these "preview" chapters, but as mentioned my personally would not let me. Not being the most "computer literate" individual on the block, I would like to write a review WHEN I finish the book!

I am a Pogue fan. This manual is more about basic photography than the software, not what I had perceived.

5 out of 5 starsGreat learning tool., 2008-12-02
As a fairly new user to the Mac and iPhoto I found this Missing Manual a valuable help in learning to properly use the application. I own 3 of the Missing Manuals and would recommend them to anyone.
