  Book Information

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 from camera 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.
