Other media are cards, books, and calendars: each now has new themes.

Using the export menu, slideshows can be exported in several sizes and resolutions. As well as entertainment there is a certain education value here, especially for those with younger families. Once done, it displays a map then the images.

After launching the slideshow, there is a delay while maps are downloaded: do not try this on a slow internet day. With the information window open, photos that are geo-tagged display a small map: others ask the user to assign a location. Places depends on images that have geo-data (coordinates), such as those taken with the iPhone and the latest iPod touch. The last two show a panel to choose music for the slides from several sources (eg iTunes, GarageBand) and a panel for display criteria. Some, like Classic, Ken Burns and Shatter were available before but others _ Snapshots, Holiday Mobile and Places _ are new. After a few seconds a panel (similar to the one in iPhoto 8) appeared with three sections: Themes, Music and Settings. I highlighted a few images and pressed the Slideshow button. The slideshow, which can be a nice way to show friends a selection of shots or even a company product, can be almost as easily put together as the Mail output. The mail contains two files _ the original photo (size depends on the sender's choice) and a whole template image. The receiver views a message with the photo and template which includes any message written by the sender. Once selected, a mail panel opens within iPhoto and the address is entered. With iPhoto 11 (version 9.1 _ confusing isn't it?), selecting images and clicking on the Mail icon at bottom right, brings up a templates panel. Mail also had 'stationery' to give some nice effects. Previously, the image was exported to Mail, which opened and the user would complete the message.

Not only in iPhoto, but iMovie (next time) too, there are multiple ways to export images and have the output look great without needing to spend hours with complex software packages.ДЄ useful example is the way that a photo can be sent by email. Important differences with this latest iPhoto are in the main interface, some of the image manipulation features, and the export (Create) templates, some of which show the lengths that Apple goes to when design aspects for the home user are of importance. Other applications in iLife (iMovie, GarageBand) also have the top of the window clear of tool icons with controls below the relevant panels which gives a degree of consistency. Unlike many other Apple applications, the toolbar is not on the top of the iPhoto window and there is nothing in the View menu to change this. Import functions are unchanged as far as I can tell and, although I usually import images via Aperture, the photographs are available in iPhoto if I attach a device (for example, a camera or iPhone) and Photo is running.
