`Apple updates iPod line, drops prices: a pod for everyone.(Apple Computer
`Inc.)
`Cohen, Peter; Dalrymple, Jim
`Macworld, 22, 5, 18(1)
`May, 2005
`
`TEXT:
`
`Although the popular iPod represents nearly three—quarters of all
`digital music players on the market, Apple has shown that it isn't content
`to rest on past achievements. with its recent updates to the iPod line,
`the
`company has closed the gaps between prices of different models, changed
`storage capacities, and made improvements (see “Pods Aplenty').
`(ILLUSTRATION OMITTED)
`More than Mini
`
`The new version of the iPod mini, which features a 6GB hard drive,
`increases storage capacity by 50 percent and leapfrogs over many
`competitors‘ 5GB players. At $249, it has the same price as the original
`iPod mini. Apple will continue to sell that first—generation 4GB model, but
`the company dropped the price down to $199——an important step, both
`financially and psychologically.
`"$199 is just the magical place to be in the consumer market," says
`Greg Joswiak, Apple's vice president of hardware product marketing.
`That price also puts the iPod mini on a more competitive level with
`other companies‘ digital music players. Is Apple feeling the heat from
`competitors?
`‘If you look at the market data, nobody has really gained traction,‘
`says Joswiak.
`"We certainly take the competition seriously, but we have the
`perfect solution.‘
`
`Another improvement to the mini is in the area of battery life:
`Apple claims to have more than doubled the capacity,
`from eight hours to 18
`hours per charge.
`"The longest flight in the world is from New York to
`Singapore,‘ says Joswiak. "We've got you covered.“
`The iPod mini's Click Wheel is now co1or—coordinated to match the
`iPod mini, and Apple also introduced a new line of $29, color—matChed
`armbands for iPod mini users——in silver, blue, pink, and green (the gold
`model is now gone).
`In addition to dropping a color choice, Apple has decided not to
`include a Firewire cable with the new minis. All iPod minis come with only
`a USB 2.0 cable, which makes sense for keeping costs down in a
`cross—platform product (all current Mac models include USB 2.0). For people
`who prefer Firewire, Apple sells that cable for $19.
`Fun with Photos
`
`The other big iPod news is a refreshed line of iPod photos. A slim,
`$349 30GB model replaces the previous 40GB model——at $150 less than its
`40GB predecessor. what's more, Apple has reduced the price of the GQGB iPod
`photo by $150,
`from $599 to $449.
`‘
`.
`’
`The 40GB drive used two platters to store information, while the
`30GB drive needs only one~—so this iPod is thinner and lighter.
`(Apple has
`discontinued the fourth—generation 40GB iPod, too.)
`Apple also removed the dock and the AV cable from the box——they're
`now accessories, available for $39 and $19, respectively. Like the iPod
`mini,
`the iPod photo no longer includes a Firewire cable.
`iPod Camera Connector
`
`For many people,
`
`the most important change to the iPod photo is

`Apple's new iPod Camera Connector, which the company announced at the same
`time as the new iPod photos. The Connector is a $29 accessory that connects
`the iPod photo and your digital camera, allowing you to transfer images
`directly to the iPod photo, without a computer.
`Apple says that the iPod Camera Connector allows iPod photo users to
`view pictures immediately and then sync them back to iPhoto later.

`
`People wondering how Apple might enhance tomorrow's iPod need only
`examine the Pod of today~—specifically,
`the music player's hidden
`Diagnostic screen (which you access by pressing the Menu and play/pause
`buttons simultaneously and then——when the Apple logo appears--pressing the
`previous and next (double-arrow) buttons and the select button).
`The first—generation iPod's Diagnostic screen included a Remote
`test, foreshadowing the arrival of a wired remote control. Given that
`history,
`the current Pod's Diagnostic screen bears two entries sure to
`interest iPod owners——Lin Rec (for Line Record) and Record. The Lin Rec
`test hints that the iPod may one day record through the device's
`proprietary data port. The Record test proves that the iPod can record
`today. Just highlight the Record test, plug a microphone into the headphone
`port, press the select button, and start talking when the screen displays
`“Begin.” After a few seconds you'll see "Done." Press the select button to
`hear your recording. Those seconds of your own voice probably won't take
`precious gigabytes away from your playlists, but the recording capabilities
`do give Pod lovers something to talk about.

`Become an iExpert: master apple's digital hub,
`from iPhoto to the iPod.
`Seff, Jonathan; Snell, Jason

`Macworld, 19, 4, 62(7)

`TEXT:
`
`DV camcorders, digital cameras, and DVD players are everywhere these
`days. But until recently, there wasn't anything that linked all these
`digital devices, making each an extension of the whole. That's the idea
`behind Steve Jobs's digital—hub strategy. unveiled at Macworld Expo in
`January 2001 and completed this year. Now all-Macs ship with a well-rounded
`suite of creative tools: iPhoto, for capturing, cataloging, and printing
`digital photos;
`iTunes, for organizing and playing music;
`iuovie, for
`capturing and editing movies; and (for SuperDrive—equipped Macs)
`iDVD, for
`burning movies to DVD. Add Apple's $399 iPod music player, and you've got
`the digital lifestyle firmly in your grasp.
`want to get the most out of your own digital hub——your Mac? Read on
`for tips and advice about making expert use of all these Apple products
`that begin with the letter i.
`Inside iPhoto
`
`Apple's latest addition to its digital—hub strategy is the OS
`x——only iPhoto, a free, easy—to—use program for organizing and sharing
`digital photographs (see "iPhoto 1.0"). But just because iPhoto is easy to
`use doesn't mean that it has no undiscovered depths.
`Shortcuts iPhoto makes it easy to download photos from a digital
`camera, and importing photos already on your hard drive is just as
`elementary. Sure, you can choose Import from the File menu, but you can
`also add images to your library just by dragging them from your desktop to
`iPhoto. All your iPhoto images are stored in the iPhoto Library folder
`(within your OS X Pictures folder). Photos are organized by the date they
`were created,
`in nested folders for years, months, and days.
`Each time iPhoto imports a group of images, it saves that collection
`as a roll, similar to a roll of film (see "Roll
`'em"). If you've got a lot
`of images to import, consider adding them in small, related collections.
`That way, you can separate vacation photos by location, for example,
`instead of creating one gigantic roll by dragging all your images in at the
`same time.
`.
`iPhoto doesn't
`If you've got limited hard—drive space, be warned:
`move your photos when you import them, it copies them. Delete the originals
`to save space.
`-
`
`Want to get a copy of a photo from iPhoto? Just drag the image out
`of the program--a copy will be made automatically. If you want to create an
`alias, hold down the ** and option keys; to move the alias out of your
`library, hold down the control key.
`the first thing you'll want to do is
`Once your images are in iPhoto,
`rotate them to the proper orientation. You can click on iPhoto's Rotate
`button, but it rotates images counter—clockwise——a pain when all you need
`is to rotate your image 90 degrees clockwise. But that button can rotate
`your images clockwise: to reverse the default rotation, just hold down the
`option key while clicking. You can rotate images one at a time or in a
`group—-hold down the shift key while clicking on images to select
`consecutive images, or the ** key, to select several noncontiguous
`pictures.
`
`Clever Preferences A lot of iPhoto's features are hidden in its
`

`
`Preferences window, which is accessed via the File menu. For°example, you
`can opt to have the program place an onscreen frame around images (see
`"Different Shades"), replacing the default drop shadow. You can change the
`default white background to any shade of gray or black You can even keep
`this background color when you use a drop shadow—gthough the option is
`grayed out when the Shadow option is selected in the Preferences window.
`Just click on the Frame button, choose a color, and click on the Shadow
`option again.
`Perhaps the most powerful iPhoto preference allows you to select
`what happens when you double—click on a photo. By default,
`iPhoto toggles
`into Edit mode, letting you quickly crop photos,
`remove red—eye, or
`transform color images into black—and—white. But the other two options are
`the ones with the most hidden potential: opening the image in a separate
`window or in an external editor.
`
`Editing Window iPhoto's separate editing window is the most powerful
`section of the program. Open that window and click on the clear button in
`its top right corner;
`iPhoto presents you with a toolbar that includes
`several features unavailable anywhere else in the program.
`From this toolbar, you can still rotate. crop, and remove red—eye.
`But in addition to cropping by iPhoto's bui1t—in presets, you can also
`choose custom crop dimensions, a useful ability when you want to print an
`image to fit a favorite picture frame, for example. Click on the Customize
`button, and you can modify the toolbar to give you instant access to the
`cropping dimensions you use most often. And you can always undo any editing
`errors by choosing Revert To Original from the File menu.
`Outside Help Even with its expanded toolbar,
`iPhoto's
`image—manipu1ation capabilities may not be enough. You can make one of
`several programs launch when you double—click on images in iPhoto. If you
`want only basic color— and contrast—editing tools, Try Caffeine Software's
`Pixeluhance (www.caffeinesoft.com), a free, 03 x—~native program that lets
`you adjust an image's brightness,
`levels, color, saturation,
`tones,
`sharpness, and noise——all from a fairly straightforward interface (see "Fix
`Photos for Free"). Just be warned: once you've altered an image outside of
`iPhoto, its Revert To Original command won't work. To be safe, create a
`duplicate of your image by choosing Duplicate from iPhoto's File menu and
`then open that version of the photo in your external image editor.
`Add—ons one notable iPhoto add—on comes from Apple itself:
`Applescripts that you can download from www.apple.com/applescript/iphoto.
`Although iPhoto isn't scriptable,
`these scripts provide a workaround.
`Perhaps the most useful of the four primary scripts is Show Image File,
`which reveals in the Finder the source file of any iPhoto image you drag
`onto it.
`
`Check out VersionTracker.com (www.versiontracker.com) to find other
`add-ons, such as the freeware plug—ins iPhoto Toast Export,
`from El Gate,
`and iPhoto Library Manager, by Brian Webster.
`Tuning iTunes
`The second incarnation of iTunes packs plenty of new features (see
`"iTunes 2.0")- Taking advantage of them all requires a little extra
`knowledge.
`
`Get Visual For a bit of visual fun at your next party, create a
`sound and light show with the comands under iTunes' Visuals menu. Like
`many MW3—playing applications,
`iTunes lets you customize its graphical
`accompaniments, known as visualizers, via a simple plug—in architecture.
`You can find free visualizer plug—ins on the Web. some of our favorites are
`David H. Goeb's DBG—BlueStar warp (http://homepage.mac.com/peagreen),
`ArKaos Visualizer (www.arkaos.net), and Andy 0'Meara's G-Force
`(www.55ware.com). or, of course, you can try searching VersionTracker.com.
`Once you've downloaded the plug-ins, you need to put them in the
`right place. If the plug—in doesn't come with an installer——most

`
`don't——you'll have to install it manually. First, quit iTunes. If you're
`using 05 X, choose Home from the Finder's Go menu, open the Library folder,
`and then open the iTunes folder therein. Inside, you'll find the iTunes
`Plug—Ins folder. In 05 9,
`the Plug—Ins folder lives in the same folder as
`your iTunes application. Once you've opened the P1ug—Ins folder, drop your
`add—ons into the Visual Plug—Ins subfolder. Restart iTunes, and the new
`plug—ins will be available under the Visuals menu.
`Floating Player The iTunes interface harnesses OS X's new power by
`allowing you to control your music player while it's running in the
`background. Even when you're working in Adobe Illustrator, for example, you
`can use your mouse to toggle the iTunes play/pause button, adjust the
`volume, and change tracks, all without leaving your illustrator document--a
`big advantage with an application that shows or hides numerous palettes and
`windows when you bring it to or from the foreground.
`Keep Rockin' when you use iTunes to listen to tracks that flow into
`one another——from a live album, for example—-you'll notice a tiny, annoying
`gap between tracks. Get around this by setting iTunes‘ Crossfade Playback
`slider to 0 (zero) seconds. Open Preferences under the iTunes menu, click
`on the Effects tab, and click to activate Crossfade Playback. Make sure the
`slider is all the way to the left.
`You can control iTunes 2.0 with Applescripts. To get you started,
`Apple provides 28 scripts, at www.apple.com/applescript/itunes/, for
`playing random tracks, making text lists of your iTunes and iPod libraries,
`removing deleted MP3s from a library, applying equalization, applying EQ
`settings for music genres, and much more (see "Scriptable Songs”).
`Pretty iPod
`Apple's iPod is one of the most exciting things to come out of
`Cupertino in a while. Before the iPod,
`there had never been a portable MP3
`player designed specifically for Mac users, with Apple technologies such as
`iTunes and Firewire. our tips will help you get more out of it.
`Specialized sync with the advent of high—quality MP3 encoders and
`large hard drives, many people are turning their entire CD collections into
`MP3 files. And if you're one of them chances are you're going to have more
`than 5GB (the iPod‘s limit) of MP3s on your Mac and in your iTunes library,
`If you want iTunes to automatically sync with your iPod, create a special
`iPod playlist in iTunes——one that contains less than 5GB of music——and set
`the iPod to sync only with that playlist.
`To do this, open the iPod Preferences window by clicking on the iPod
`icon that appears in the lower right corner of your iTunes window when your
`iPod is attached to your Mac. Next, select the Automatically Update
`Selected Playlists Only option,
`then choose the playlist you created. Your
`iPod will now sync with the contents of that playlist, rather than your
`entire music library.
`The iPod can sync with only one copy of iTunes at a time. If you use
`your iPod with multiple Macs——say, at home and at work——you'll probably
`want to forgo automatic synchronization. To switch to manual mode, open the
`iPod Preferences window and click on Manually Manage Songs And Playlists.
`when you plug in your iPod, it will mount normally but won't attempt to
`synchronize with iTunes. To add songs to your iPod, simply drag them from
`your iTunes library to the iPod window.
`the iPod is perfect
`Party Pod Because of its large storage capacity,
`for parties or any occasion when you want to have music playing for a long
`time without having to change CDs. The built—in headphone jack can connect
`the iPod directly to your stereo system. Using an inexpensive Y—cable
`(available from electronics stores such as Radio Shack for less than $10),
`you can plug the 1/8-inch minijack into the iPod, and the pair of RCA—type
`plugs into a spare input on your stereo——often the AUX, or auxiliary,
`input.
`
`And if you're worried about the battery running out during your

`
`bash, you can use the included power plug to power (and charge) the iPod
`while it's playing.
`Expand Your Reach since the iPod's release, many utilities that
`extend your favorite portable music device have come out. Bitcom's xpod
`(free; http://bitcom.ch) and codeFab's Podestal (free; www.codefab.com)
`both let you copy MP3s from your iPod to your hard drive in OS x——perfect
`if you have multiple computers-—and Podestal even accesses files stored on
`the hard—drive portion of your iPod. Rich Goldman's Contacts—iPod (free:
`http://files.macscripter.net/Scriptauilders/Utilities/Contacts_to_iPo
`d.hqx) synchronizes your contacts from Entourage, Outlook Express, or Now
`Contact with the iPod.
`And Apple built in its own extra. Go to the iPod's About menu and
`hold down its center button for several seconds, and you'll bring up the
`classic game Breakout, which you can play via the iPod's jog wheel.

`Directing imovie 2
`inovie was
`inovie is the oldest of Apple's "i-apps.‘ In many ways,
`the first program to define Apple's digital—hub strategy.
`iflovie fulfilled
`a need—~easy—to—use editing software for the new generation of digital
`camcorders——in a way that no other product had done before.
`In the time since iflovie arrived, Macworld has written several
`detailed articles full of tips about the program. You can see a list at
`www.macworld.com/subjectlimovie/.
`Add—ons iuovie ships with a limited collection of transitions and
`effects. The free iMovie Plug—In Pack (www.apple.com/imovie) adds a few
`interesting options, but iMovie's palette of transitions still isn't that
`impressive.
`Many people will never want to use a transition any flashier than a
`cross~disso1ve, but variety can be the spice of life. To that end, GeeThree
`Offers Slick Transitions and Effects ($30 each, $50 for both; 650/328—2359,

`two collections of iMovie transitions and effects that
`include many subtle, attractive options, as well as plenty of gaudy ones.
`They're worth their cost, even if you use only a quarter of the provided
`plug—ins.
`The Last Word
`As the maker of both the hardware and the operating system that runs
`it, Apple is uniquely qualified to create software and add-ons that let us
`get the most out of our Macs. With iPhoto,
`iTunes,
`iuovie,
`iDVD, and even
`the iPod, Apple's commitment to making it as easy as possible to live the
`digital lifestyle is clear. To ride the wave, all you need is your
`creativity and your Mac.

`
`Amidst the hubbub surrounding Apple's release of the iPod (****1/2;
`Reviews, January 2002), Apple released version 2.0.3 of its iTunes audio
`program, adding the support necessary for transferring files to the
`portable player. But that doesn't make this version a one-hit wonder-—it
`has several new features that users have requested.
`New and Improved
`Foremost among iTunes 2.0‘s improvements is a 10—band graphic
`equalizer with 22 presets (or EQ settings) for rock, hip—hop, classical,
`and everything in between (see "EQ IQ‘). You can move each slider
`individually and save the results as your own presets.
`There's also a Sound Enhancer that helps add some of the warmth
`stripped from songs when they're compressed into the tiny MP3 format. The
`result is better-sounding music from iTunes.
`Another new feature is the ability to cross-fade tracks, overlapping
`the end of one with the beginning of the next—-you can set a cross-fade to
`last as long as 12 seconds. It's a great feature for parties, but it would
`be nice if these cross-fades carried over when you burned your songs to

`audio CDs.
`iTunes can now burn MP3 CDs—~that is, data CDs in the ISO 9660
`format-—fi11ed with 650MB to 700MB of MP3 files. This allows you to get
`more than 10 hours of music on a single CD—R playable in some CD players
`and many newer DVD players. of course, you could do this before by popping
`in a blank CD and formatting it as an MP3 CD, but being able to do so from
`within iTunes is an added convenience.
`
`Apple has also added Apple Scripting capabilities to iTunes, meaning
`that you can create scripts to control most iTunes actions. Still missing,
`however, are ways to easily change skins (the GUI's look), record directly
`into iTunes, and broadcast over the Internet—~all features that iTunes‘
`predecessor, Casady & Greene's now—de£unct Sound Jam MP, offered more than
`a year ago.

`with its new features,
`iTunes 2.0.3 has become a fully capable MP3
`player, encoder, and jukebox. Its few missing features are overshadowed by
`an easy—to—use interface——and the fact that it's free.——JONATHAN SEFP
`RATING: ****
`PROS: Pod integration: equalizer; cross-fader; understandable yet
`powerful interface; free; direct burning to audio and MP3 CDs.
`CONS: Little skin support; no direct recording of audio; some

`FRIENDLY AND FREE BUT FALLIBLE
`
`Easy—to-Use Photo Utility still Missing a Few Key Features
`JASON SNELL
`
`iPhoto 1.0—~Apple's new, free,
`In many ways,
`digital—image——management program——is cut from the same cloth as previous
`i—apps imovie,
`iTunes, and iDVD. With each, Apple identified a hole that
`needed to he filled, developed software with key features that had broad
`appeal, and polished those features until they shone.
`iPhoto is no
`different: it offers easy—rouse photo-organization features that will
`please many casual digital-camera users who want to organize and share
`their growing image collections. More—advanced, digital-photography
`enthusiasts, however, will likely be disappointed by this programs many
`feature omissions.
`Digital Shoebox
`The program's primary interface is a large window of digital—image
`thumbnails; at the bottom of the window, a slider lets you select the size
`of those thumbnails. The thumbnails are generally good quality; however,
`when we imported some high-resolution, multimegabyte TIFF files‘into
`iPhoto,
`the thumbnails were grainy with banded color.
`Below this window,
`there are five buttons that activate the
`program's primary functions: Import, Organize, Edit, Book, and Share.
`The left—hand pane of iPboto's single—window interface lets you
`manage virtual photo albums, in which you can collect your images; you can
`also click on the Photo Library icon to view all the images you've imported
`into iPhoto. A small button below that pane lets you rotate one or many
`photos quickly and easily.
`Adding Images
`Importing images into iphoto from a digital camera is a relatively
`easy process;
`iPhoto automatically launches when you plug in a compatible
`digital camera (see www.apple.com/iphoto/compatibility/ for a list), and it
`can import the images directly. A handy option even lets you delete the
`photos from the camera once they're downloaded.
`If you have old images or an incompatible digital camera, you must

`import the images by dragging them into the iPhoto window or choosing
`Import from the File menu.
`iPhoto makes a copy of your imported images in
`its iPhoto Library folder,
`leaving your hard drive with two copies of every
`image you import.
`iPhoto doesn‘t export or link its library with mounted removable
`media; if you archive photos on CD—R discs to save hard—drive space, you
`can't keep those images in your iPhoto library.
`Rolling On
`when you bring images into iPhoto, either from a camera or from
`preexisting files,
`iPhoto treats each import process as a “roll,” similar
`to a roll of film. You can view your library by roll, but iPhoto doesn't
`intelligently process images by date: if you drag in 1,000 photos taken
`over a span of three years, for example,
`iPhoto groups them in one
`inconveniently large roll.
`If you'd prefer nor to organize images in this limited way, you can
`sort images by the date they were created——just choose Edit: Arrange
`Photos: By Date.
`ivhoto tries to use the dates embedded in images by
`digital cameras, so even if your image doesn't have a proper creation date
`in the Finder,
`iPhoto usually displays the real date and time the picture
`was taken. In our rests,
`iPhoto was generally good at recognizing an
`imported image's embedded creation date, and it placed images in the proper
`context in our library.
`Crop and Edit
`Behind iPhoto's Edit button is a limited collection of
`image—modi£ication tools. The Crop tool is excellent, allowing you to
`choose from preset sizes, such as 4 by 6 inches and 3 by 5 inches, and trim
`images with ease. iPhoto's Red—Eye tool is a serviceable way to salvage
`snapshots that would otherwise be wrecked by blazing red corneas.
`It's with color that iPhoto's editing features fall down. A Black 5
`White button lets you quickly convert an image to gray Scale. But the
`program lacks even rudimentary tools for color correction——and as any
`digital—camera owner will tell you,
`there are often times when an image
`needs tweaking because of an unwanted yellow or blue cast. While‘a
`complicated, Photoshop—sty1e Levels command wouldn't be appropriate,
`iPhoto's omission of a one-button color—correction tool or a simple
`slider-based interface is unfortunate.
`Tracking Images
`categorizing photos in iPhoto is easy. You can use Apple's preset
`keywords, or you can make as many as 14 of your own by choosing Edit~
`Keywords from the Edit menu (or pressing **—K). To assign keywords, slide
`the switch on the Keywords window's left side to Assign, select one or more
`photos, and click on the appropriate keyword.
`sorting images by keyword is just as easy: slide the switch from
`Assign to Search, and then select as many keywords as you'd like to filter
`your photos by. This makes it easy to find, for example, all photos of your
`pets and your daughter together (see "Keyword: Cute“). However,
`iPhoto's
`filtering system is strictly additive (pets and daughter); you can't search
`for all photos of your pets without your daughter, say, nor can you see all
`images except those with your pets in them. You are also unable to display
`only images without keywords.
`Show and Share
`
`Realizing that one of the great strengths of digital photography is
`the ability to quickly share images with others. Apple has built iPhoto
`with a collection of image—sharing features,
`from on—screen slide shows to
`linen—bound books; All are available by clicking on the Share button.
`Slide Shows iPhoto's Slide Show feature lets you display images with
`musical accompaniment in a fu1l—screen format. It's a fine idea, but it has
`some limitations. slide show's only transition effect is the dissolve, and
`it can play only one audio track over a slide show. Also, most

`
`the slide show we created tended to appear blurry, an obvious drawback.
`You can export slide shows in QuickTime format to share with others,
`but soundtracks and transitions don't carry over into the QuickTime movie.
`Photos on the web iPhoto also lets you export your photos for the
`web by using either the HomePage feature on Apple's iTools Web site
`(integrated with iPhoto via the HomePage button in iPhoto's bottom pane
`when you click on the Share button) or the Web Page tab of iPhoto's Export
`Images window. The Apple—hosted Homerage option is easy to use and
`generates beautiful Web—based slide shows; however,
`the images it exports
`are quite large and don't make the most of the JPEG format‘s ability to
`compress images, so people with slow modem connections will need a lot of
`patience to view all the images.
`iPhoto's do~it-yourself Web Page export
`method gives you more control over the size of your images and their
`thumbnails; however, the HTML pages it generates are very basic, and
`there's no way to crank up the JPEG compression here, either.
`Prints
`
`It's easy to print images from iPhoto. If you're printing to your
`own photo printer,
`iPhoto's Print command gives you control over many
`options,
`including paper type and page layout, via a series of pop—up
`menus.
`
`‘ M
`
`intriguing is the pro-grain's unique built-in support for
`ore,
`online photo processing. Thanks to integration with Kodak's Ofoto
`digital—printing service,
`iPhoto users can buy digital prints by selecting
`the images they want, clicking on the Order Prints button, and choosing the
`preferred size and number of prints. The resulting prints, on high—quality
`Kodak paper,
`look very good——certain1y much better than what you'd likely
`get after dropping off a roll of film at your local supermarket.
`Apple also offers iPhoto users a unique service: the creation and
`professional printing of a high——quality, bound hardcover book. Just click
`on iPhoto's Book button, and you can place as many as 32 photos on each
`page, in any of six templates. You can also add text. However,
`the
`book—building tools are awkward. Moving and reordering photos and pages can
`be a frustrating task more like a brainteaser puzzle than a page—design
`tool.
`
`The resulting $30 book (for 10 pages; $3 per additional page, with a
`maximum of 50 pages), while pricey, is beautiful to behold. Printed on
`acid—free archive—guality paper,
`these books will certainly make great
`gifts. However,
`the nature of the Web printing—press method used to print
`book pages means that book photos are noticeably screened and therefore
`don't look as crisp as prints.
