IPhoto doesn’t export or link its library with mounted removable media if you archive photos on CD-R discs to save hard-drive space, you can’t keep those images in your iPhoto library. iPhoto makes a copy of your imported images in its iPhoto Library folder, leaving your hard drive with two copies of every image you import. And you can now easily publish pictures directly to Facebook and Flickr.If you have old images or an incompatible digital camera, you must import the images by dragging them into the iPhoto window or choosing Import from the File menu. You can draw on location data when preparing custom keepsake travel books to include maps that complement your pictures.Īpple also improved touch-up and editing tools in iPhoto for dealing with red-eye, highlights and shadows and more. Pins mark any area on the map where pictures were shot. But the neatest way to search for photos by place is to use the interactive Google map inside iPhoto. Once iPhoto knows where your pictures were shot, you can search for them by typing a location name or clicking on a list of locations. You can enter the location information for an entire Event. Fortunately, you don't have to do this for every picture.
If you don't have a GPS camera - and most people don't at this stage - you'll have to manually enter location information. You can personalize a location by telling iPhoto that a place is Grandpa's house or your vacation home.
IPhoto can read embedded longitude and latitude data to recognize such landmarks as the Eiffel Tower. If you shot pictures with an iPhone or another GPS-capable digital camera, location or "geotagging" information is automatically captured by iPhoto as pictures are imported. As the name suggests, the Places feature in iPhoto lets you find all the pictures you took by the Brandenburg Gate, Grand Canyon or some other locale. Click a name button when a photo is selected, and iPhoto may ask of a face, "Is this Mom?" Click a checkmark to indicate yes, or an "x" to say it isn't and type in another name. Later, iPhoto will scan your library to find other faces in your collection it thinks match those you've tagged. You must assign a name tag the first time iPhoto turns up a certain face. You can also create "Smart Albums" to easily find photos of family members. Or roll your mouse over the snapshot representing a face to rapidly skim through the other images you have of that person.
Double-click on a face to see all the underlying images - convenient when you're trying to find just the right image of your kid. In the handsome Faces view, a single snapshot is shown on a corkboard for every person whose face you've identified. Google's Picasa, among other programs, has some version of face recognition. The concept isn't new, though it's still in its infancy. The Faces feature uses face detection and recognition technologies to locate actual mugs (the process is done in the background) and determine who the people are.
The new iPhoto goes well beyond that by letting you organize and search for pictures based on who is in them and where they were shot. So you could segregate pictures by a kid's birthday party or college reunion. In the previous version, iPhoto automatically grouped images into "Events," each with a day's collection of pictures unless you specified otherwise.
