Finding your way around iPhoto

A

long with your Mac and all the other software you received or have 
purchased for it is the software that’s the subject of this book — 

iPhoto ’09.

Having been a photo enthusiast for many years using film and standard meth-
ods for developing and printing, you can imagine my curiosity, wonder, and 
finally, pure joy when digital photography arrived on the scene. No 
more running out of film or having the wrong kind. No more 
taking photo after photo trying to ensure I got the shot 
only to discover, after developing the film, that I still 
didn’t get it.

As wondrous as digital photography is, there 
are still plenty of things for mere mortals to do 
with it — and iPhoto ’09 gives you the power to 
do them.

In this chapter, I help you discover how to 
harness that power.

iPhoto — The Big Picture

I believe it’s a good thing when those who might describe 
themselves as amateurs get to use tools that approach pro-
fessional status. iPhoto ’09 is just such a tool. The trick isn’t in 
bringing more and more technology to bear and deal with; it’s bringing in 
more and more technology while keeping the software’s operation at a level 
best described as easy to understand and easy to use.
