Master your image library - Explore hidden powers in iPhoto ’08

Much of the attention for iPhoto '08 has focused on the new Events pane, which organizes your photos based on when they were taken. But Apple's newest photo manager has many more tricks up its sleeve.

Import photos intelligently

In previous versions of iPhoto, importing photos was an all-or-nothing affair. But no longer. Now when you connect a camera or memory card, you can Command-click on just the photos you want to download and then click on Import Selected. Once it has added the photos to your library, iPhoto offers to delete the originals from your camera—but don't do it. The best way to delete photos from a memory card is to reformat the card using your camera's menu controls. This creates a fresh set of directory structures on the card, lessening the chance of losing photos to a memory-card glitch.

Title your prints

iPhoto's expanded print options let you not only place multiple images on a page and create photo-realistic mats, but also add captions to your prints. If you haven't already uncovered this feature, select one or more photos in your library and press Command-P. In the Print dialog box, select one of the print projects and click on Customize. Then click on the Layout button to choose a design that shows text (see "Adding a Photo Caption").
