Illustrated throughout with step-by-step color screen shots, this is an unbeatable visual guide to iLife, the suite of free digital media software that comes standard with new Mac computers. None of the iLife programs come with a user's manual, so this book will help readers tap the potential of the four applications in the suite: iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD. This book offers a brief overview of each application and its user interface, then provides step-by-step examples that show readers how to get amazing results with digital photos, music, and videos. It shows how to accomplish many beyond-the-basics tasks, including creating a smart playlist in iTunes, designing a coffee table book in iPhoto, adding special effects to clips in iMovie, and adding menus to movies in iDVD.
