 iphoto 2009 June 23, 2009

When I traded in my PC for a new IMAC earlier this year, over 15.000 photos moved into the Iphoto library. I had my own organizing system based on folders and subfolders and subsub folders and was also using Photoshop organizer. IPhoto 2009 at first glance does not match the way my mind works did not seem to sync well with this system, and I could not understand where and how my pictures were organized. This book is helping me figure out how to cope, how not to lose hours and hours of work, and how to make the program fit the way I want to work. Its target audience seems to be people using earlier versions of Iphoto or those just getting started. It would be nice if it also addressed those coming from pc programs such as Photoshop organizer or Picassa

I look forward to David Pogue's Missing Manuals. He has the gift for explaining technical subjects in a clear and straightforward fashion. This book continues his success. His co-author, Jude Biersdorfer must be good, too because I find this book excellent.
I've been told that iPhoto is supposed to be so easy to use that you don't need a guide. It kinda-sorta is, but not totally. With more features comes more complexity. And the latest version of iPhoto does have some nice features like Faces and Places. In some cases it's not even that the features are difficult to work as that people don't even know that they are there. iPhoto comes with a new Mac and isn't something that people research.
Explanations are clear and straightforward. If you haven't considered geotagging your photos or don't know why you should bother, this book serves as a good nudge to try that out.
As for the killer new feature of face recognition, if you take people photos, get ready to streamline your iPhoto album. The book makes the process simple and approachable, as it does for most of iPhoto's features.
