As a recent convert from windows to Mac I was missing the use of Picassa (from Google) for my photo editing and organization. I knew IPhoto 08 had many of Picassa's features but when combined with the Apple vs. Windows learning curve, I needed more help than the help menus and tutorials gave. This book was the answer. The writing style is light and easy to read but substantive enough that I was quickly able to do things with my photo collection that I couldn't even do in Picassa. As a bonus, the whole first section (3 chapters) of the book is a very useful guide to better photo composition and techniques for better photography. Pogue and Story also write for many computing methods so whether you like to use the keyboard, the mouse or a combination, they walk you through how to do it your way. Not just cheerleaders for Apple, the authors are candid about what doesn't work, what to skip and what could be better accomplished with different software. All in all a great book for the average digital photographer who wants a simple way to show off his work in the best possible way without making it a second career! Well done! |
