iPhoto Guide
iPhoto makes organising your photos easy as you are able to sort them in numerous ways such as by event, location and even by who is in the photos. iPhoto lets you mix these up to create what're known as smart folders. As an example you can sort out and view just the photos of one's sister on vacation in Spain in one easy step. This user guide will explain all these features in more detail.
Events
When you download your photos onto iPhoto they'll automatically be placed into folders called events, these photos allow you to keep your photos organised based on once the pictures were taken, however to create things easier such as for instance putting all your pictures from summer time months together you are able to merge event albums however, you like.
Faces
The face recognition tool in iPhoto will automatically recognise faces in your photos and allow you to tag them with names. This might seem like an impossible task if you are up against tens and thousands of photos but once you have tagged a couple of photos with names iPhoto will suggest faces that match the names for you and all you have to accomplish is confirm iPhotos suggestions. If you have lots of photos which can be assigned to the correct name as opposed to clicking each one of these individually you can drag a marquee around them and with one click confirm that they're correct. Sometimes however iPhoto may get this a bit wrong and suggest the incorrect faces but the more photos of a specific person you tag the more accurate iPhotos suggestions become. I would suggest you tag about 15 photos from the initial selection and then refresh the choice, you will discover that the suggested photos are definitely better the 2nd time around and as before you can also reject a group of incorrect pictures by dragging a marquee around them and double clicking. When you yourself have tagged individuals in your photos they're added to a digital cork board for you to view most of the pictures of a specific person in the exact same place.
Places
An addition to the latest version of iPhoto (iPhoto 09) is the'places'feature which enables you to assign a spot to your pictures. When you have a GPS enabled camera (such as usually the one on the iPhone) once you download your photos the positioning will automatically be added to the photos information. If your camera does not need inbuilt GPS you can still tag your pictures with a spot
