A Very Useful and Handy Source, By
This review is from: The Macintosh iLife 09 (Paperback)
I have purchased ALL of Mr. Heid's iLife books. I have found them all to be on target with Apple's iLife Suite. This recent edition is by far his very best. In over 400 pages Jim has shown the novice, as well as the experienced user, that learning this suite can be one of the easiest and most useful set of technologies Apple has produced. What I really like about this book is that I can open a 2-page spread and get a full overview of that aspect of iPhoto, iMovie, iWeb, or GarageBand. To me that is a major plus for me. If you want the very best reference book on iLife, you don't have to look any further than Jim Heid's iLife '09.... it's the best on the market.

My Highest Praises for 'The MacIntosh iLife '09'!, By
This review is from: The Macintosh iLife 09 (Paperback)
As a professional photographer and filmmaker, I purchased this book in order to learn how to use the '09 version of Garageband and to attempt to create some of my own film scores. Jim Heid makes learning FUN and EASY with his chapter entitled, "Garageband: Music, Podcasts, and More". I have thoroughly enjoyed learning this AMAZING program thanks to this outstanding book!What's great is that the author is a musician who guides readers through all the incredible capabilities of Garageband '09. In just a matter of hours I was able to record multiple tracks using Garageband's orchestral instruments, tweak, edit, and fine tune (as if I actually knew what I was doing) thanks to the extremely easy to follow instructions in 'The MacIntosh iLife '09'. The book also contains excellent and exciting, in-depth chapters such as "iPhoto and Digital Photography", "iMovie: Making Movies", "iDVD: Putting It All Together" and "iWeb: Your World on the Web".
