Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
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, organization 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.

To the Point,
By Charles (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: iPhoto 1.1 for Mac OS X (Visual QuickStart Guide) (Paperback)
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,
By Charles (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: iPhoto 1.1 for Mac OS X (Visual QuickStart Guide) (Paperback)
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. Macs for Everyone!

Adam always makes things straightforward and simple,

This review is from: iPhoto 1.1 for Mac OS X (Visual QuickStart Guide) (Paperback)
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!
