iPhoto Tutorial

You are now ready to view and organize your photos. To learn how, go to the next
section of this tutorial.

Organizing and Viewing Your Photos

In iPhoto, all photos are stored within the iPhoto library. You can see the photos in the
Library by clicking Library, located at the top of the Source list on the left side of the
iPhoto window.

Within the library, photos are grouped by year and film roll (either an actual film roll,
such as 35 mm film stored on a photo CD, or each group of photos you imported from
a digital camera).

In this section, you will learn how to sort your photos in several ways, add keywords
and view photos by keyword, and create a photo album.

Did You Know?—Importing Photos Without Using a Camera

There are several ways to import photos into iPhoto besides using a digital camera. (If
you are not using a digital camera, try to ensure that all photos are in JPEG format for
best results.) You can import photos that are:
 Saved on a CD (When you take your 35 mm film to be developed, ask if the photo

developer can store your photos on a CD or floppy disk. Many offer this service.)

 Saved on a DVD or flash drive
 Located in a file or folder on your hard disk
 Saved on a memory card (For a list of compatible storage devices, visit the iPhoto

website.)

For more information, refer to the “Importing Photos” section of iPhoto Help.
