INTRODUCING iLIFE ‘09
Share Photos
Once you have organized and optimized your photos,
you can share them by e-mail or by outputting them
to a printer. You can create slideshows with
customized slide durations and transitions. You can
publish hardback and softback photo books with page
themes that match the subject of your images. iPhoto
also connects to the popular online services Facebook
and Flickr and allows you to upload photos in your
library to those Web sites.
Editing and Optimizing
iPhoto includes a number of photo-editing tools that
let you improve the appearance of poorly exposed or
washed-out photos. You can fine-tune lighting levels,
boost or reduce color intensity, or convert photos to
black and white. The iPhoto retouching tool enables
you to fix small tears and scratches on a scanned
image, or smooth the wrinkles in the face of a subject.
The red eye tool lets you get rid of the red lighting
that can be added to eyes by a camera flash.
Automatic Organization
Organizing thousands of photos in a personal
collection can be a daunting, time-consuming task.
iPhoto makes it easier by learning the people in your
photos as you tag them using the program’s Faces
feature. iPhoto can retrieve latitude and longitude
information from photos taken with GPS-enabled
cameras to map the photos to geographic locations.
You can also create smart albums that automatically
group photos in your library that share specific criteria
such as the same rating or keyword.
Creating Albums
iPhoto albums allow you to organize your photos in a
freeform manner. You can create an album for photos
from an event, of particular people, from a specific
place, or a mix of criteria. A photo in the iPhoto library
can exist in multiple albums. Once you group photos
in an album, you can easily use those photos in an
iPhoto slideshow or in a keepsake such as a photo
book or calendar.
