When editing text, it’s a good idea to zoom in on the text area first. To do so, drag the
size slider to the right.
If you don’t want text where a text field exists, don’t enter any. The placeholder text,
such as “Insert Title,” will not appear in the book if the text field is not changed.
With the successful creation of a book, you have now completed the full iPhoto
tutorial. If you would like to print or order a copy of your book, see the topics in
iPhoto Help.

iPhoto ’08 offers a host of creative ways to use and enhance your photos. Check out
one or more of these additional features:
 Fast web publishing: Use your MobileMe Gallery to share your photo albums online
with a single click. Friends and family can view your photos or download them to
print large, high-quality images—and even upload their own photos to share with
you. You can also email photos from your mobile phone or other mobile device to
your published albums.
 Full-screen view: Take advantage of every pixel your monitor can muster to view
and show off your photos from one edge of your computer screen to the other. The
large, high-resolution view makes editing easier and more precise. You can also view
two or more photos at once, so that you can compare or edit them side by side.
 Precise editing and special effects: From cropping to color correction to retouching,
iPhoto gives you tight control over the enhancements you make to your photos. For
faster fixes, one-click editing lets you boost colors in a washed-out image, tone them
down in a too-bright one, or use special enhancements such as blurring the edges or
adding a vignette effect.
