Chapter 1: Presenting the iPhoto’09 Interface

✓ Source list: This area on the left side of the window shows all the places

that can furnish photos for viewing, editing, and so on. This includes

• Library: The area of iPhoto into which your photos are loaded and

organized, such as Events and Places. Chapter 2 helps you practice

accessing and using the Library.

• Recent: Allows you to display photos imported at specific times,

or photos that you’ve flagged. I cover flagging and its uses in

Chapter 4.

• Albums: Displays the contents of specified photo groups that you

created. See Chapter 5 for more on Albums.

• MobileMe Gallery: Shows the photos that you uploaded to

MobileMe. See Chapter 11 for more on this.

projects. See Chapter 13 for more info.

• Slideshows: Lists all your slideshows. See Chapter 13.

at the same time, this strip at the bottom of the window furnishes most

of the popular user choices, including

Event.

• Edit: Puts the photos from the selected Event into the Edit pane.

• Slideshow: Displays the selected Events or photos as a slideshow.

calendar, or card. If the toolbar has enough room, you will see the

individual buttons for Book, Calendar, and Card instead.

your collection of photos on MobileMe.

images. When you click this button, your Desktop changes
