Master every aspect of iPhoto 08 with step-by-step, visual instructions!

If you've found yourself wanting a complete manual for iPhoto 08, look no further than Take Control publisher Adam Engst's iPhoto 08: Visual QuickStart Guide. Relying on concise, step-by-step instructions supported by numerous full-color screenshots and photos, this title first explains how best to import, organize, and edit your photos. Adam then shows you how to create slideshows and prints, along with stunning photo books, greeting cards, and calendars. Also covered are how to make Web galleries, burn CDs for Mac and Windows users, send photos via email, share an iPhoto Library with another person, and more. A troubleshooting chapter helps readers solve common problems, followed by a pair of appendixes, one covering background topics like aspect ratios, resolution, and color management; and another that provides lots of tips for taking better photos.

We encourage you to download the free 50-page sample to see what it looks like, since it is rather different from our Take Control design.
