Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The latest iMacs are designed--in the words of Steve Jobs--as "digital hubs" that sit at the centre of all kinds of household media work. In iPhoto for Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide, you get a great tutorial on how to use iPhoto to refine and improve your photographs, whether you're a home user with a collection of happy snaps or a serious amateur with artistic ambitions.

This book is great and certainly deserves your attention if you want to use iPhoto and don't know how. The Visual QuickStart Guide format relies on depicting almost everything in pictures, with explanatory support from prose. Most of the text takes the form of steps to follow in order to accomplish something, and makes frequent reference to the surrounding screen shots. Engst seems to do well with this format, and it's easy to learn how to do even the most difficult retouching work in iPhoto. --David Wall

Topics covered: Apple iPhoto for Mac OS X, explained for an everyday editor of digital photographs. Sections address photo importation, organisation of photos into albums and books, modification of photos (including how to repair flash-induced red-eye), and how to share photos on the Web.

Product Description

Taking digital pictures is easy enough. But organizing the hundreds of oddly named image files that wind up on your hard drive so that you can easily share your photos with friends--well, that can be quite a different story. Unless, of course, you have iPhoto, Apple's free digital photography program, and best-selling author Adam Engst's iPhoto 1.1 for Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide to get you up to speed on how to use it.

While most consumer photography programs help you edit your digital photos and turn them into projects, iPhoto focuses on organizing those photos and sharing them with others. Using a step-by-step approach that emphasizes tasks over lengthy explication, iPhoto 1.1 for Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide will have you importing, organizing, editing, and sharing your photo collections in no time. With a single click, you'll be able to order prints online, publish your photos to a Web page, or order a linen-bound book of your photographs. As with all VQS books, there are plenty of screen shots and graphics to illustrate key concepts, as well as tips to explain aspects of the program that aren't obvious form the interface or online help. Best of all, iPhoto 1.1 for Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide includes a trouble-shooting chapter that can save you hours of grief should something happen to an irreplaceable photo.

To the Point 24 Oct 2002
By Charles - Published on Amazon.com
Very useful in getting quickly to the matter of how to use iPhoto. There is enough information about how the program data is structured to be useful, but the real value of the book is in it's format and stuffed-full-of-info "attitude." I bought it, use it, and definitely recommend it.

Short and to the Point 24 Oct 2002
By Charles - Published on Amazon.com
I have the book for the 1.1 version (works for 1.1.1 also) and I think it is well-organized and info is quickly accessible. Many things in iPhoto are pretty intuitive, but some things (like extremely complex file and database structure!) are not. The book gives enough of a look "under the hood" to be comforting, but primarily concentrates on the user features of the program. Also, the author responded to a question I had via email. I thought that was a courteous gesture and he really helped me to understand a point in the book. I recommend the book if you want to get the very most out of the iPhoto program.

Adam always makes things straightforward and simple 27 Oct 2002

As always, he keeps its straightforward and simple...great beginner's primer to get you started with iPhoto. The irony is Apple should make free of charge a pdf manual .....

By the way, if you buy this book you can download a pdf copy from Adam free of charge.....and if you email him with questions, he's usually pretty good at responding!
