Before You Begin
To make it easier to do the tasks in this tutorial, it’s a good idea to print this document
before you start.
In many tasks shown in this tutorial and in iPhoto Help, you need to choose menu
commands, which look like this:
Choose File > New Album.
The first term after Choose is the name of a menu in the iPhoto menu bar at the top of
your computer screen. The next term is the item you choose from that menu.
