What’s New in iPhoto

Â

Increased Performance and More Photos:

From scrolling and paging to importing

and editing, iPhoto is faster and more responsive than ever. You'll even notice the
boost in speed when opening and quitting the application. And with 250,000 photos
now supported, you have plenty of room to grow.

Â

Full-Screen View:

Take advantage of every pixel your monitor can muster to view

and show off your photos from one edge of your computer screen to the other. The
large, high-resolution view makes editing easier and more precise. You can also view
two or more photos at once, so you can compare or edit them side by side.

Â

Cool Calendars:

Get a daily reminder of your favorite photos with the new wall

calendars in iPhoto. Include up to 24 months of Apple's great designs and import
your iCal calendar information. You can also add photos or text to any date to mark
personal reminders and highlight special days, such as birthdays and anniversaries.

Â

Personal Greeting Cards:

Send your very best photos to friends and family with

4 x 6 double-sided or 5 x 7 folded greeting cards. Choose from themes such as
birthdays, invitations, postcards, or blank cards, add your own message, and have a
set sent straight to your door.

Â

Photocast Publishing:

Friends and family who use iPhoto can now see your

photos—and print them out or use them in slideshows, books, calendars, and
cards—simply by subscribing to your Photocast albums. Subscribers can also use
standard RSS to access these published albums. As you add photos to them, your
subscribers see them too, whether they're next door or overseas.

Â

More One-Click Editing Effects:

iPhoto has a click fix for every photo—now you can

boost colors in a washed-out image, tone them down in a too-bright one, or use
special effects such as blurred edges or vignetting.

Â

Faster Photo Finding:

Browsing to find one photo among thousands is even simpler

with the new Scroll Guide—just scroll up and down through the iPhoto window to
see dates or film roll titles appear over the photos as they move through the viewing
area.

Â

More Flexible Web Publishing:

iPhoto integrates iWeb, Apple's new full-scale

publishing application, to give you more flexibility to present your photos the way
you want to. From resizing and editing photos to choosing the right complementary
theme, it's easier than ever to put your photo albums on the web.

Â

Books as Slideshows:

Turn your photos into a customized iPhoto book and share it

as a creative slideshow. Choose from a range of book themes, add your pictures, then
view the sequence and edit it as a slideshow to share with friends and family.

Â

Enhanced Printing:

Now it's even easier to print borderless photos. You can also add

titles to the contact sheets of your film rolls for more efficient organization and
retrieval.
