`
`
`GETTING STARTED
`
`
`
`G4LYVLSDNILLID
`
`Digital cameras have become commonplace,
`andfew people even consider purchasing a
`traditional analog camera anymore. But with
`digital photos, the camerais only part of the
`equation. Once you've taken photos, you
`need software to help you import, organize,
`edit, and share your photos. Since 2001, the
`most popular application for that task on the
`Machas been Apple's iPhoto.
`
`But iPhoto’s popularity doesn’t stem just
`from the fact that Apple bundles it—it’s a
`genuinely useful program, providing a broad
`set of features while remaining easy to use.
`With iPhoto, you can organize your photos,
`perform commonediting tasks, and create
`professional-looking printed works (prints,
`greeting cards, hardcover books, and even
`calendars).
`
`If iPhoto is so easy, why write this book?
`Even thoughiPhoto ‘09 is the best version
`of the program that Apple hasreleased so
`far, it still doesn’t entirely demystify the
`process of importing a digital photograph,
`editing it, and presenting it on paper or on
`the computer screen. And iPhoto comes
`with no documentation beyond minimal and
`often incomplete online help. Read on, then,
`notjust for the manualiPhotolacks, but also
`for the help you needto take digital photos
`and make the most of them.
`
`iPhoto ’o9, not iPhoto 8
`
`Annoyingly, Apple refers to iPhoto ‘09
`interchangeably as “iPhoto '09” and
`“iPhoto8,” the latter of whichis the actual
`version number. Although | prefer the
`actual version numberto theyear, | fear it
`would be too confusing tocall it iPhoto 8,
`given that the previousversion, iPhoto7,
`wasalso called iPhoto ‘08. As a result, I'll
`use the iPhoto ‘09 name throughoutthis
`book, except whenI'm referring to a very
`specific version of iPhoto ‘09, such as the
`current-as-of-this-writing iPhoto8.0.2.

`
`
`HARDWAREANDSOFTWAREREQUIREMENTS
`
`Chapter 1
`
`Hardware and
`Software Requirements
`iPhoto ‘09 hasfairly steep system require-
`ments thanks to the resources needed to
`work with large numbersofdigital images.
`
`To run iPhoto, you need:
`
`@ A Macintosh with a PowerPC G4
`(867 MHz orfaster), PowerPC G5,or
`Intel processor with 512 MB of RAM
`(though 1 GB of RAMisbetter).
`Realistically, the more CPU power and
`RAM you can throw at iPhoto, the better
`its performance. You'llalso find a large
`monitor extremely helpful.
`
`@ Mac OS X.Specifically, Mac OS X 10.5.6 or
`later and QuickTime7.5.5 orlater.
`
`¢ An optical drive that can read DVDdiscs,
`since iLife (09 comes on DVD, Burning
`DVDsdirectly from iDVD requiresa drive
`that can write to DVD as well, such as an
`Apple SuperDriveor a third-party DVD
`burner.
`
`# Asourceofdigital images, which could
`be an iPhoto-compatible digital camera,
`scanned images, Kodak Photo CDs, ora
`service that providesdigital images along
`with traditionalfilm developing.
`
`VY Tips
`
`@ Somefeatures—suchas Places; pur-
`chasing print products; or uploading to
`MobileMe,Flickr, and Facebook—require
`an Internet connection. And you'rereally
`going to wanta high-speed Internet con-
`nection; dialup will be painful.
`
`M On PowerPC G4- and some PowerPC
`G5-based Macs, some slideshow themes
`won't be available. See http: //support.
`apple. com/kb/TS2576 for details.
`
`V More Tips
`
`@ iPhoto can import photos in RAW format,
`whichis an uncompressed imagefile
`format used by some high-end cameras.
`However, there are multiple flavors of
`RAW,and iPhoto does not supportall
`of them.
`
`Someof the other components of
`the iLife ‘09 suite, such as iMovie and
`GarageBand, have steeper system
`requirements. See www. apple. com/ilife/
`systemrequirements.html for details.

`
`

`

`Getting Started
`
`Acquiring iPhoto
`Apple offers several methods of acquiring
`iPhoto, althoughit’s worth noting that Apple
`does not offer free upgrades between major
`versions of the program. In other words,
`even if you got iPhoto 6 bundled with your
`last iMac, you muststill buy iLife ‘09 to get
`iPhoto "09.
`
`Waysto get iPhoto ’o9:
`
`¢@ Look in your Applicationsfolder. If you
`purchased your Macsince January 2009,
`iPhoto ‘09 may alreadybeinstalled.
`
`* Buy a $79 copy of Apple’s iLife '09, which
`is a DVD package containingall five of
`Apple’s digital hub applications:
`iPhoto ’09, iMovie ‘09, iDVD 7,
`GarageBand '09, and iWeb ‘09. Although
`these applications comefree with new
`Macs,the iLife packageis the only way
`for current owners of iPhoto, iMovie,
`iDVD, GarageBand, and iWebto get
`updatesfor those products.Fordetails,
`visit www.appLe.com/ilife/.
`
`@ Buyanew Mac,which will come with
`iPhoto preinstalled. Steve Jobs and his
`private jet thank you!
`
`V Tip
`
`m@ Rather than buy multiple copies of iLife
`‘09 to use onall the Macs in your house,
`you can buy a $99 family pack that’s
`licensed forupto five users.

`

`Chapter 1
`
`Installing iPhoto
`Installing iPhoto from theiLife ‘09 package
`requires almostnoeffort at all. Be sure to

`Chapter 1
`
`Updating to iPhoto ’o09
`In theory, updating from anearlier ver-
`sion of iPhoto should be merely a matter of
`installing iPhoto ‘09 andletting it upgrade
`your iPhoto Library. However, a few simple
`actions can prevent future problems.
`
`Tips when updating to iPhoto ’o9:
`
`@ Make sureto back up your iPhoto Library
`(located in your user account’s Pictures
`folder) before installing iPhoto 09. Then,
`if something bad happens,orif you need
`to revert to yourearlier version for some
`reason I can’t imagine, you won'tloseall
`your photos. I’m sure you have a backup,
`but another one can’t hurt.
`
`¢@ Before updating your iPhoto Library, run
`Software Update to make sure you have
`the latest version of iPhoto '09.
`
`¢@
`
`Ifyou have installed third-party export
`plug-ins (see “Other Web Export Tools,”
`on page 145),it’s best to remove them
`before updating(andtoinstall new ver-
`sions that are confirmed to work with
`iPhoto 09). To find them,(Control)-click
`iPhoto’s icon in the Finder, choose Show
`Package Contents, and navigate to the
`Pluginsfolder. Drag any third-party plug-
`ins to the Desktop.
`
`@ Foraclean installation (and don’t bother
`doing this unless you suspect trouble),
`move the com.apple.iPhoto.plistfile (in
`youruser account's Preferencesfolder)
`andthe iPhoto application to the Trash,
`but leave your iPhoto Library alone. Then
`install iPhoto 09.
`
`@ Ifyou have trouble immediately after
`updating, delete the preferencefile men-
`tioned in the previous tip and the iPhoto
`application, and thenreinstall iPhoto ‘09.
`
`
`
`UPDATINGTOiPHOTO’09
`
`New Features in iPhoto ’o09
`
`iPhoto ‘09 offers a number of welcome
`enhancementsthat are covered through-
`out this book. Here are my favorites:
`
`@ iPhoto now boastsface recognition,
`so you can organize your photos by
`people whosefaces you've trained
`iPhoto to recognize.
`
`@ iPhoto can now read geotags, which
`indicate the latitude and longitude at
`which a photo was taken with a cam-
`era (like an iPhone) containing a GPS
`receiver. You canalsoassign locations
`to photos that don’t yet have geotags.
`Geotagged photos can be viewed on
`a mapwithin iPhoto and included on
`mapsin printed books.
`
`@ A new Definitionslider in the Adjust
`window improvesclarity and detail.
`
`@ A new checkboxin the Adjust window
`prevents the tools from oversaturating
`skin tones as you makeother changes.
`
`# An Auto buttonin the Red-Eye display
`uses face recognition to removered-
`eye automatically.
`
`@ The Retouch tool now handles edges
`and non-skin tonesbetter, and the
`Enhancetool does a better job and
`avoids oversaturating skin tones.
`
`® Slideshows gain themes, use face
`detection to keep faces onscreen, and
`can be synced with an iPhone,iPod
`touch, or Apple TV.
`
`@ You can now upload photosto the
`photo-sharingsite Flickr and the
`social networking site Facebook.
`
`@ Hardcover books ordered from Apple
`can nowhave a photoonthefront
`cover, as well as on the dustjacket.

`
`
`
`The photo library needs to be upgraded to
`work with this version of iPhoto.
`Your photo library will not be readable by previous
`versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade
`process may take several minutes depending on the
`number of photos in the library.
`(Que) rand)
`
`
`Figure 1.6 On the first launch with an old iPhoto
`Library, iPhoto prompts you to upgrade the library.
`Click Upgrade unless you wantto quitfirst and make
`a backup before proceeding.
`
`Recovering Photos on Upgrade
`
`WheniPhoto 6 upgraded your iPhoto
`Library, if it found photos that weren't
`properly tracked in iPhoto’s database,it
`offered to recover them, putting them in
`an album called Recovered Photos.
`
`[can’t be sure that iPhoto ‘09 will do the
`same, having not seen this myself, but if
`you are presented with such a message,I
`strongly encourage you to heed it andlet
`iPhoto recover the photos.
`
`In somecases, the recovered photos may
`actually be duplicates, at which point
`you caneasily delete them. To figure out
`whichare duplicates, search in iPhoto on
`the filenameofthe photo(it’s usually the
`sequential number assigned by your cam-
`era). If only the recovered photo appears
`in the search results, you knowit’s unique
`and should be kept; if two or more photos
`that are obvious duplicates show up, you
`can probably delete any extras.
`
`Getting Started
`
`Launching iPhoto
`Once you haveinstalled iPhoto, the next
`step is to launchit. Thefirst time you launch
`iPhoto differs from subsequent launches.
`
`Waysto launch iPhoto:
`
`¢@ Double-click the iPhoto icon in your
`Applicationsfolder.
`
`@ IfiPhoto’s icon already appears in your
`Dock,click the Dock’s iPhoto icon.
`
`¢@ Drag the iPhoto icon to your Dock to
`add it to the Dock permanently, and
`then click the Dock’s iPhoto icon.
`
`@ Use a third-party launcherutility like
`LaunchBar.I really like LaunchBar, and
`you can find more aboutit at www. obdev.
`at/products/Launchbar/.
`
`iPhoto’s initial launch
`
`The first time iPhoto '09 launches and sees
`an iPhoto Library created with a previous
`version of iPhoto, it prompts you to upgrade
`it (Figure 1.6). Click Upgrade to proceed
`(this can take quite sometime, depending
`on how manyphotosyou havein your iPhoto
`Library), or click Quit if you want to make a
`backupfirst.
`
`V Tips
`
`@ Youcan putoff the decision to make a
`backuporuse a different iPhoto Library,
`but upgradingisn’t optionalif you wish
`to use photosin your existing iPhoto
`Library with iPhoto 09.
`
`@ Don'tinterruptthe relatively slow
`upgrade processor workin other iLife
`applications while it’s upgrading.

`
`iPhoto’s Modes
`
`Edit mode
`
`
`
`iPHOTO’SMODES
`
`When you use iPhoto, you'll find yourself
`in one of five modesatall times. The rest of
`the book looks at these modes, focusing on
`the tasks you perform in each mode. Here’s
`a quick summaryof the modes.
`
`Import mode
`
`To add photosto your photolibrary, you
`import them,either from files or from a digi-
`tal camera. All you can do in import modeis
`select which photos to import, but note that
`you can keep workingin otherparts of the
`program while iPhoto imports photos.
`
`Organize mode
`
`Once you have imagesin iPhoto, you'll want
`to organize them into events and albums,
`assign them keywords,and delete the lousy
`ones. All that and more happensin organize
`mode, where you'll spend mostofyourtime.
`
`iPhoto’s organize modealso provides tools
`for running slideshows, creating Web pages,
`setting your screen saver and Desktop
`picture, sending photos via email, exporting
`photos, and more.
`
`Faces mode
`
`Newin iPhoto ’09 is Faces mode. When you
`teach iPhoto to recognize a person'sface, the
`controls changeto focus on that task, with
`screens and controls for identifying faces
`in photos, confirming that the face iPhoto
`has identified in other photosis correct, and
`browsing throughidentified photos.
`
`Places mode
`
`Also new in iPhoto ‘09 is Places mode, which
`provides contro
