Now iPhoto automatically organizes your library by Events.

iPhoto. Your photos, like you've never seen them before.

Your Web Gallery visitors get an interactive experience, viewing your photos as they wish.

A whole palette of retouching tools and an array of effects to play with.

New in iPhoto '08.
Don't be daunted by all those digital photos you've been taking. Have fun with them. Share them by email or create amazing web pages, cards and calendars. iPhoto automatically organizes your photo library and makes editing as easy as clicking your mouse–so you can get the most out of even the biggest collection.

Organize by Events.
You don't remember photos by time and date. You remember them by events, like “Karen's graduation” or “Nathan's first bike ride.” And that's exactly how iPhoto '08 organizes your entire photo library. So it's more fun to browse, and much easier to find a specific photo.

MobileMe Web Gallery.
In iPhoto '08, it's easy to share photos with friends and family. With a couple of clicks, you can send an Event or photo album to your personal MobileMe Web Gallery, where visitors can enjoy your photos, download high-quality images, or even contribute photos of their own from a Mac or PC.

Powerful editing tools.
Your photographic talents are legendary. But even the pros take photos that need a little work. With iPhoto, improving photos is almost as easy as snapping them. You have a whole palette of retouching tools and an array of effects to play with. And all of your edits are nondestructive–so you can always go back to the “negative” if need be.

Unified search.
How do you find that one special photo when your library has thousands of photos? In iPhoto '08, the answer is: with ease. You have a number of ways to search your library and they're all in one place. Search by name, keyword, rating, or date and see your results in an instant–neatly organized by Event.

Theme-based home printing.
Print beautiful, frame-worthy photos based on Apple themes, directly from your home printer. Make them perfect–change layouts, add effects and borders, enhance photos–and just hit “print.”

New calendars and books in iPhoto '08
Stunningly beautiful hardcover photo books. Bigger calendars. iPhoto raises the standard again with eye-opening new ways to enjoy and share your photos.

The most personal gifts and keepsakes are the ones you create with your own photos. Now iPhoto gives you even more ways to dazzle friends, family, and yourself with professionally printed memorabilia–from a new hardcover photo book complete with dust jacket and foil-printed cover to a larger 10.4-by-13-inch calendar.

Completely redesigned to help you make movies in minutes.

View and share anywhere.
One of the great things about digital video is that it can be shared with friends, family, and the world. And iMovie lets you share in many different ways.

New in GarageBand '08.
GarageBand '08 and a little inspiration are all you need to make incredible music, even if you've never played a note. The new Magic GarageBand turns your desktop into a virtual stage, where you can choose the band and instruments they play to easily create amazing songs. Then plug in and jam along. You can even add a singer to your song with the new Jam Pack: Voices. And accomplished musicians will appreciate other new features like multi-take recording and 24-bit quality.

Magic GarageBand.
Get the creative juices flowing. Bring the band together and let Magic GarageBand generate a new song. Create a virtual jam session or use the song project as a starting point to create your next hit.

Arrangements.
Most songs are arranged in distinct sections: introduction, verse and chorus. GarageBand brings this kind of structure to your song. With the different sections clearly defined, you can rearrange your song at any time.

Multi-take recording.

• Define a region.
  Mark off the section of the song where you want to add your part. GarageBand repeats that section as you play, so you can lay down as many takes as you like.
• Save every take.
  Every take you perform is recorded and saved. GarageBand displays that part of your song as a multi-take region.
• Pick your favorite take.
  After you've recorded all of your takes, GarageBand makes it easy to pick the best one. As you play back your multi-take region, you can switch between takes in real time. Simply select your favorite and move on.
• Change your mind, change your take.
  Even after you've picked a take, GarageBand saves them all. That way, if you're so inclined, you can select another take days or weeks later.

Visual EQ.
You don't need to be an expert to tweak the sound of your mix in GarageBand. Using the built-in Visual EQ, you can adjust a track's equalization simply by dragging the EQ bands until you get the sound you want.

Automation of tempo effects and instruments.
Record producers use dynamically changing effects to keep a song sounding fresh and exciting from start to finish. GarageBand makes it easy to do the same by automating effect changes within a composition–so you don't have to settle for one constant setting throughout.

Create websites that are more custom, more complete, more you.

iWeb. Your life: Now playing on the web.

New in iWeb '08.
iWeb makes it easy to create a website that's stunningly beautiful–and totally you. Start with an Apple-designed theme, then customize it with your own text, photos, movies, and podcasts until it's exactly what you want. And switch themes with a click anytime.

Web widgets.
With iWeb, it's easy to add live content from other websites–like videos, stock tickers, and news headlines–directly into your web pages. So you can create pages that are informative, interesting, or just plain fun.

iWeb makes it easy to incorporate some of Google's most useful features.

Google Maps and Google AdSense
iWeb makes it easy to incorporate some of Google's most useful features. With just a few clicks, you can add a fully interactive Google Map to your site. Or you can place Google AdSense ads on your pages and get Google credits every time a visitor clicks.
