9/05

iPhoto is an easy to use tool that allows you to import, organize, edit and share digital photos. Not only can you quickly create customized slide shows, but you can also assemble booklets, e-mail images and export web photo galleries with ease. In order to use iPhoto you must import your images from a CD, folder, file or camera.

The first time you connect your camera and launch iPhoto you can specify what your computer does when a camera is connected. If you would like iPhoto to open, select iPhoto from the drop down menu. This setting can also be changed through the Image Capture Application. Go to the Applications folder and launch Image Capture. Select Preferences from the Image Capture Menu. Click the General button, and select iPhoto from the drop down menu. If you choose Other or No application, you will need to launch iPhoto when a camera is connected.

Editing changes the original photo along with its album counterparts. If you wish to maintain the original photo, you can make a duplicate by going to Photos/ Duplicate. Edit the copy. You can also revert to an original photo state via Photos/Revert to Original. This choice will only be available on a previously edited photo. Zoom in when necessary using the zoom slider in the lower right hand side of the iPhoto window.

To rotate a picture, select it and click the Rotate button in the iPhoto button bar.

To enter the Edit Mode, either select the photo and click Edit in the button bar, or double click the photo. The editing window displays the selected image. The thumbnails (smaller images) at the top of the screen represent other images in the selected album or library. Click a thumbnail to edit it.

Tip: After editing images, you must click the Done button (see below).

The image above is not showing all the availble edit mode buttons, due to the size of the window. Clicking on the double arrow to the left of the Done button will reveal more buttons. Clicking Done will save any editing changes you have made and take you out of the Edit Mode. Clicking an arrow will select an adjacent photo in the selected album.

Creating A Book

Perhaps one of the best uses for classroom purposes is the iPhoto book feature. Choose an album with which you would like to create a book. Click Book on the main button bar.

If you plan on having your book printed professionally, click Options + Prices for more information.

iPhoto will ask if the photos will prompt you to click the Autoflow button if you wish to add photos automatically. Otherwise you will need to drag photos on each page manually. iPhoto will switch to the Book Mode and the new book will be saved and placed in the Source List.

From left to right, the icons go as follows:
