Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Upgrade to iLife '11 and you'll do more with photos, movies and music than you ever thought possible. In iPhoto, you can browse, edit and share your photos with full-screen views. Turn your home videos into epic movie trailers in iMovie. And GarageBand gives you everything you need to make a great-sounding song - including tools for keeping your song in perfect rhythm as well as guitar and piano lessons.
Bigger is better, especially when it comes to your photos. In iPhoto '11, you can browse, edit and share your photos full screen. With a quick click, desktop applications, the menu bar and other distractions disappear, bringing your images front and center.
Full-screen views take advantage of every inch of your display. So your Faces corkboard and Places map stretch from edge to edge, and you see more of your events, albums and projects.
Go from picture to picture while basking in full-screen greatness using the new filmstrip. More screen real estate means a bigger workspace for perfecting each shot or creating the most memorable iPhoto projects ever.Go from indie filmmaker to master sound editor with audio editing tools in iMovie. Sound effects, voiceover and music - you control them all.
iMovie shows you detailed audio waveforms for all your clips. They're colour-coded, so you can see where the audio is overpowering. To adjust the audio levels of a clip or part of a clip, just drag the volume slider. To shorten or extend fades, drag the fade edges. As you make changes, waveforms update immediately so you always see what you hear. And the single-row view shows you your entire movie project in one horizontal row, so it's easier to preview and edit your soundtrack.
GarageBand brings you seven guitar amps for a total of 12. They're modeled on the most revered gear in the world - from clean sounds to heavy distortion and everything in between. You can also reproduce the sound of classic foot pedals with five stompbox effects, making 15 to choose from. Mix amps with stompboxes and find thousands of ways to rock. And with the Apogee GiO, you can control GarageBand hands-free, so you don't ever have to stop playing.
The GiO lets you control stompbox effects, recording and transport controls with your feet. Plug an electric guitar into your Mac, crank it up and let it rip.
Create a site that's fun to visit by adding a few interactive widgets. iWeb makes it drag-and-drop easy to add RSS feeds, iSight photos and videos, a countdown timer, YouTube videos, HTML snippets, and other dynamic features. The iWeb Widget Browser puts every widget within reach. All you do is drop the widget you want anywhere on your page.
Take magic iDVD, for example. Open iDVD and choose Magic iDVD. Then pick a theme and select the movies and photos you want to feature from the iLife media browser. Magic iDVD automatically creates a complete project - including main menu, buttons, scene selection menus and slideshow menus - from start to finish. All you do is burn your DVD.

OK this software doesn't cost too much so if you're a big user of iMovie and/or Garageband you'll be pretty pleased with the new features I should think. iWeb and iDVD get no new features. However, if you are a big user of iPhoto 09, be prepared to lose a lot of features you may like, or consider downgrading back to iPhoto 09 before the new version touches your photo libraries.
The good things I found out about iPhoto 11 are some neat new slideshows, playing video within the app (and slideshows), smoother book making and it seems quicker to manually assign faces. There may be other improvements I haven't discovered or don't use.
iPhoto '11 loses a lot of things like the ability to view or edit your photos full screen (the new 'full screen' mode is just a sort of iPad interface, not sure why, I'm still using a mouse and a keyboard). There is a lot of wasted space and inflexibility now due to panels being used instead of the old HUD overlay windows for info, effects, etc. It isn't possible, for example, to crop/enhance, etc while also seeing the file information. As soon as you require any info or edit controls you lose about a quarter of a laptop screen. You can only zoom in on your photo when the edit panel is present.
Quickly reviewing photos is harder - you'll need the large info panel open to see any file information because the small panel that used to sit at the bottom of the sidebar is gone. Another change in the sidebar is the missing count of photos in smart albums.
The application is no faster than before (except for the book-making interface, which seems better) and in some areas performance is much worse. Scrolling thumbnails used to be the benchmark for iPhoto but it seems like Apple have just given up and it now jumps jerkily from row to row. If you have inertial scrolling active you're going to get very frustrated. Dragging the scrollbar is even more staggered.
If you use the one-click email feature and your recipients like being able to add your photos quickly to their own library, you may be disappointed with the clumsy new built-in emailing feature. Of course you can drag the photos to the Mail dock icon instead, as long as you are not in full screen mode.
If you are familiar with OS X and rely on UI consistency to work efficiently, expect some surprises. iPhoto uses new non-standard visual candy, much of it inconsistently within the app itself. The contextual menus in particular are odd, but some of them will be good if you are partially sighted or if you are new to OS X.
Conceivably some of these problems (like the can be fixed with patches in the future but it looks like a lot of users will be forced to stick with iPhoto 09 or fork out for Aperture (and expect a bit of a learning curve with that option).
These observations were made on iPhoto '11 (v9.0) on a MBP 2.8 GHz C2D with 4 GB RAM and an 18 GB / 6000 photo library.

My wife and I have used iPhoto 09 to email photos of family to our relations abroad, and have been reasonably happy with the way it enabled one to do this. I bought the upgrade to iLife '11 because of the new easier book creation function. That function is pretty good, I'm happy with it. But we are going to have to return iLife '11 and reinstall iLife 09 simply because iPhoto '11 is a downgrade when it comes to emailing photos. There are now only two options, and both are pretty poor. You can send the original image (i.e., big file size) or you can send the Apple-specified "Optimised" photo. This latter creates a one-megabyte version of your photo, which is all of about 4 inches wide, yet it is at 72 dpi and so you can't enlarge it usefully. Normally the same image size at 72 dpi created say in PhotoShop and saved in jpeg format would weigh in at about 200k max. Why the "optimised" jpeg which iPhoto creates is 5 times the needed file-size is beyond my ability to explain or figure out. The photo is surrounded by an large unwanted and purposeless white border, this is not an option, you have to have it. But even that should not create this large file size.
Where have the other file-size options gone??? In previous versions you could choose from 4 different settings. This so-called upgrade has reduced that to just two options, and neither are useful.
This is a shockingly bad upgrade, and a waste of time and money. Until Apple get their act together, this is software to be avoided at all costs!
I am a multi-decade and committed Apple Mac user by the way. I have never seen such rubbish software emerge from Cupertino before, pretty disappointing to say the least.

This is an awful product and really should have been given more testing before release. Apple have agreed to refund the purchase price because of the problems I was experiencing, especially with iPhoto '11.
The new iPhoto has some great ideas; unfortunately these appear to have come at the expense of more basic functions. I reported to Apple that when I was typing information, each letter was repeated two or three times or more. I was told by Apple that this was because there was an issue around importing the iPhoto library from previous versions. I followed their instructions and created a new library (which appeared to resolve the problem temporarily) then as I organised the rebuilt library into events, the problem returned.
iPhoto '09 is wonderful. I suggest that you hold fire on iPhoto '11 until Apple have worked some of the bugs out.
