iPhoto 2 is a very basic application to organize, edit, and publish your photos from Apple but if you want to unleash the real power of iPhoto 2 you need to get this book. iPhoto 2 The Missing Manual covers everything you could possibly think of about iPhoto 2. When I first got this book I thought "A 336 page book about iPhoto!?" I didn't think you can write so much about the simple application but when I started reading this book I found so many things that I had not know about before. This book covers everything about iPhoto, real basics, how to organize your photos, everything about enhancing and editing, presenting, and includes many tips and tricks. One of the really cool things about this book is that it features about 100 pages of lessons on how to take good pictures and also has a chapter about buying a good digital camera. The book also has some cool AppleScript tricks you can use in iPhoto and features a lot of information about publishing. It has information on how to publish to the web, archive to CD or DVD, make screen savers (Screen Effects), export to QuickTime, iMovie, iDVD, and the iPhoto Photo Book. For publishing to the web it even has a chapter on how to design your site, which is really great for newbies. So if you like iPhoto and would like to do more with it iPhoto 2 The Missing Manual is the book for you, it really is the book that should have been included in the box. Also make sure to check out the discounts section on the MacUsers website to find out how you can get this book from O'Reilly 20% off, which is a really great deal for this book.
