Reader Reviews:
An essential guide (3/3 people found this helpful)
One of the best things about the iMac is the cool software that comes pre-installed. One of the worst things is that there is no user guide in the box, and hunting around through the on-line manual is a pain in the neck. That is where the "Missing Manuals" series comes in handy. I had previously bought the OS X book, so got the iPhoto one sight-unseen.
It is a bit disappointing compared with the OS X book - there is a big section on digital photography that duplicates what most readers probably already have - just padding. However, the rest is a very readable and useful description of the various methods and tricks that are available, along with pitfalls to avoid.
Overall, this book - or a similar one - is an essential adjunct to your iPhoto software.
At last I get the picture! (10/10 people found this helpful)
I was a new "MacUser' as well as a new digital photographer and was definitely struggling with iPhoto. I felt sure it was good and would do all the things I wanted - and had begun to do in Photoshop (PhotoDeluxe - the simpler version for PC's). When I heard about the Missing Manual I couldn't wait to get it and try. What a revelation!! At last I could understand the filing, the date system, the pixels, why I needed to get it right for the size of print, how to send pictures by email without my friends having to sit up all night to download etc etc. What I particularly like was the links to other useful bits of information or freeware. I had been trying for months to print four different pictures on one sheet and even with new drivers my printer just wouldn't. Downloaded the software and did it straight away. All was explained in simple language and fun to read.
It would have save alot of frustration if this book had been "in the box" but at least I've got it now.
Thank you for a really worthwhile investment - and to anyone hesitating - Don't!
