iPhoto enables you to organize, enhance,
and share your collection of digital photos.
Take a moment to familiarize yourself with
the iPhoto workspace.
Thumbnails
Small versions of your photos, called thumbnails, appear here in the photo browser. You can change their size
using the slider in the bottom-right corner of the workspace or magnify them by double-clicking. See the tasks
in this chapter for more about viewing photos.
Source List
By clicking different buttons in the source list, you can filter and sort your library photos by when or where they
were taken, or by the faces that appear in them. See Chapter 4 for more about organizing photos.
Organization
You can organize photos into subject-specific albums or display them as slideshows. With slideshows, you can
control the transitions between photos as well as slide durations.
Name Faces
The Name feature allows you to label the faces in your photos with names. iPhoto automatically recognizes
faces in your images to help you with the labeling.
Editing Tools
You can edit the color, lighting, and other characteristics of a photo using various tools. This can help you fix
poorly exposed or washed-out photos. You can also remove unwanted objects or blemishes with a Retouch
tool. See Chapter 5 for more.
Search Box
A search box allows you to search by title or description, date, keyword, or rating.
Play Slideshow
A button at the bottom of the workspace lets you quickly show the currently displayed photos as a slideshow
with a theme and background music.
