Editorial Review:
The latest iMacs are designed--in the words of Steve Jobs--as "digital hubs" that sit at the center of all kinds of household media work. Perhaps chief among these tasks is the management and editing of digital photographs, for which Apple has provided iPhoto. 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, 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.
