iPhoto 09 Basics Website: http://etc.usf.edu/te/

iPhoto ʼ09 is the photo management application included in the iLife ʼ09 suite. The previous version of iPhoto already included an Events feature that let you view photos by date, and iPhoto ʼ09 adds two new features to help you organize your photos: Faces uses face recognition to help you organize your photos based on the people who appear in them and Places allows you to display photos on a map using the location information saved by many GPS-enabled cameras and camera phones (such as the iPhone 3G). iPhoto ʻ09 also integrates editing features that let you crop and align your photos to improve their composition and fix problems such as red eye and bad exposure. When you are finished organizing and editing your photos, you can show off your best ones by creating slideshows with special effects and background music. You can also share printed versions of your photos as photo books, calendars and greeting cards.
