Clear and straightforward guide to a quick start with iLife, By
This review is from: Apple Training Series: iLife (iLife '09 Edition) (Paperback)
For home users, the Apple iLife set of productivity applications may be the most useful and elegantly designed suite on the market. The suite consists of photo, video, music making, DVD and Web page applications, which not only are separately worthwhile, but are integrated seamlessly.While each application has Apple's well-known ease-of-use, some people like or need some guidance starting and completing home projects. That's where a book like "iLife 09" comes in handy. It is one of the books in the Apple Certified Training series and its four authors are experienced producers and communicators. The book has four parts with 17 lessons and a very good 18 page index. Each of the authors writes a part reflecting his/her relative strengths of experience, with Richard Harrington writing on both iWeb and iDVD. The concept of the book is to provide hands-on, practical guidance to producing a project in very short order. The presentations are self-paced learning... Read more

This review is from: Apple Training Series: iLife (iLife '09 Edition) (Paperback)
I am finding this book to be very informative and helpful learning how to get the most from the iLife 09 software. There is a DVD Lesson File included which contains all the picture and movie files you'll need to complete the lessons. The lessons are easy and fun to do and by using the lesson files you won't have to worry about damaging your pictures or movies. I have only completed the first two lessons but I have already learned so much more about this software than I ever knew before. This book is well worth the money.

Training on Life '09, By Nameless Guy "Georgia actor" (Jasper, GA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Apple Training Series: iLife (iLife '09 Edition) (Paperback)
The book is most helpful in giving you the tools to do most projects in the Life '09 suite. Because it covers such an expanse it cannot dig deeper and go into the detail you'll get with the "Missing Manual" series, which covers one program per book. On the plus side, this book comes with an interactive training CD that walks you through actual projects--which is most helpful. Overall, well worth the money.

Errata
On page 45, due to a change in the interface, the field in blue shown in the screenshot above step 3 should say "photo place" and the drop-down menu should read "Find on map".
On page 101, Apple has replaced "Name" with "Face" in the current version of iPhoto. Thus, the two screenshots on page 101 and the first one on 102 should say "Face" instead of "Name"; and in step 2 on page 101, "Name" should be replaced by "Face".
