Start with a great photo. Make don't "take" a photo that tells a story by creating a strong focus point or point of view.

Tip: Be aware of the file size of photos.

**Importing photos**
a. from applications b. from photo files. Connect your camera to your Mac and open iPhoto. click on the photos you want to import. To select a range of photos, hold the SHIFT KEY and click the 1st and last photo you want to import. To select INDIVIDUAL photos, hold the COMMAND key and click photos you want import Click the IMPORT selected button. ADD EVENT NAME and description. Don't skip this step as it will save you time when organizing photos later.

iPhoto creates events by DATE when you take them, but you can change how events are created in PREFERENCES.

Drag the slider at the bottom left to make even photos larger. See red arrow.

=Editing and Improving your photos=

=Sharing photos= A photo can only be stored in one EVENT at a time. ALBUMS allow you to organize photos, like a playlist in iTunes. Just as removing a song from a playlist doesn't remove the song from your library, removing a photo from an iPhoto ALBUM doesn't remove it from your iPhoto library

Select some photos or press command shift K to select some photos that you have added a key word to in order to sort/select a group of photos by key words. Now create an album with those files selected: Go to: FILE- NEW- ALBUM. Give the album a name. Click create.
