iPhoto '08

Just installed iLife '08 on my MacBook Pro and I got a chance to play around with the new iPhoto a little bit today. Love it! Simply the addition of Events greatly improved this program. Events are a new way to organize your photos. It's kind of like creating a folder to store your photos in, only it's all built in to iPhoto. When I used iPhoto '06 i used the album feature to organize my pics. At first this worked well, but the list began to get long, and with no preview of the photos in the album, it got confusing. With Events, you get previews of the photos in the Event and you can even scroll through small thumbnails of all the photos in the event by simply moving your mouse slowly over the Event. The album feature is also still present in iPhoto '08 giving yet another way to organize your pics. Another nice feature is flagging photos. This is just a quick way to mark a photo which you can view later via a "Flagged" photos tab on the sidebar. The new iPhoto has tremendously improved organization and accessibility. I'm sure i will find many more new features as i continue to use it.

Well this is just my first look at iLife '08... Hope you enjoyed...
