Mac iPhoto Primer Tutorial
The Mac OS X iPhoto application does a great job of storing your photographs (on the Mac laptop’s hard disk) that are:
- created on your laptop
- importable via removable CDs/DVDs/USBs or others
- importable via digital cameras (with inbuilt memory card) with cable
- importable via USB card reader with a memory card from a digital camera or somewhere else
- importable via iCloud
- importable via a DropBox
It blows my mind enough just to think of the great way it imports from the options that involve a memory card. The blowing mainly derives from its organizational “smarts” if you have been one of those brilliantly organized people who accurately set the date and time on their digital camera. This allows iPhoto’s functionality to compartmentalize the photos by date as one of its “Events” and this is a really helpful feature. So today’s tutorial shows the ease with which a choc-a-block memory card can be very quickly imported into iPhoto within minutes.
The Mac iPhoto application can create slideshows and shares with iCloud, email, messages, social media and Flickr. Let’s see what Wikipedia says about this wonderful application.
iPhoto is a digital photograph manipulation software application developed by Apple Inc. and which used to be included with every Macintosh personal computer as part of the iLife suite of digital media management applications. First released in 2002, iPhoto can import, organize, edit, print and share digital photos. In Mavericks, rather than being included in OS X, iPhoto is available from the Mac App Store.
iPhoto is often compared to Google’s Picasa, CyberLink’s MediaShow, Adobe’s Photoshop Album, Phase One’s Media Pro and Microsoft’s Windows Photo Gallery. iPhoto ’11 (9.5), the latest version of the software, was released as part of the iLife ’11 suite on October 20, 2010.
On March 7, 2012, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced a new, iOS-native version of iPhoto alongside the third-generation iPad.[2]
