A step-by-step visual guide to using all aspects of the iPhoto application

Easy, step-by-step instructions in the highly successful Visual format show you how to enhance your photos, create photo books and greeting cards, organize your photo library, and even create Web galleries. You'll learn to retrieve photos from your iPhone, camera, or card reader; retouch scans of old photos; add special effects; print your pictures; and more with iPhoto.

  • Written by an expert videographer and digital video specialist whose experience includes national commercials, news and TV shows, and sports videography
  • Designed for visual learners, with full-color illustrations showing how to accomplish each task
  • Shows you how to navigate the iPhoto interface, set preferences, and import photos from cell phones, digital cameras, card readers, or scanners
  • Demonstrates how to retouch photos, fix amateur mistakes, enhance photos with effects, and create slideshows, photo books, calendars, and greeting cards
  • Covers creating online galleries, e-mailing photos, burning DVDs, and making prints

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful!, September 2, 2009
This review is from: Teach Yourself VISUALLY iPhoto '09 (Teach Yourself VISUALLY (Tech)) (Paperback)
I am a beginner with iPhoto and a new mom who takes a lot of pictures! I needed to learn, quickly, a way to organize my images and do creative things with them. This book showed me how to do that. It showed me ways to organize, enhance and edit the images. Also showed me how to create picture books and cards. It is easy to read and understand. I recommend it highly!

This review is from: Teach Yourself VISUALLY iPhoto '09 (Teach Yourself VISUALLY (Tech)) (Paperback)
Thank you for unlocking the mystery that was (at least for me) iPhoto 09! I feel that I can finally use iPhoto to its full potential with this book as a guide. It's great to follow step-by-step or use as a reference guide, and I love the extra tips at the end of each topic.

This review is from: Teach Yourself VISUALLY iPhoto '09 (Teach Yourself VISUALLY (Tech)) (Paperback)
This is truly the manual that should have been in the box. It is clear, easy to use, extremely well illustrated and really all you need unless you are a tech geek.
There are more pictures than text and it takes you step by step through what you need to know about the various
subjects covered, showing the screen as you will see it on your own computpte. I have many of their manuals and they are great!!!
