Veteran author Elizabeth Castro starts at the beginning, showing readers how to import, organize, edit, and select the best photos for use in their iPhoto books and slideshows.

Throughout the focus is on doing as full-page, full-color screen shots and simple, step-by-step instructions lead readers through the process of assembling their first books and slideshows with iPhoto. Along the way, users will learn to take advantage of iPhoto's coolest new features: a slew of useful image-editing tools; an improved book-creation engine that lets you drag and drop photos into different layouts with ease; new ways to store, browse, and edit images; and a wider variety of styles, options, and layouts for photo books.
