Apple has recently released it's upgrade to the iLife suite, which include, iPhoto, gargae band, iWeb, iDVD and iMovie. current Mac users of iLife can upgrade for $79...so how does it rate?
well, i'm a total Mac girlie...love it. i love iPhoto...it's easy to store your pics and it has fab on-the-fly photo editing capabilities. i love it for quick photoshop like edits...now you know my secret. {when i do senior pictures, i use PS, but can do really quick "show the pics to mom" edits on iPhoto}
i am going to admit, i don't use iMovie...hubs does...not a big deal for me. i don't use garage band...bc it doesn't matter to me...and we use iDVD, but any upgrades to me are just cake!
but i love iPhoto. a lot. and iLife 09 has some fab updates to iPhoto that make me want to jump up and shout! first, iPhoto now has the ability to detect faces {face recognition} and identify them in your photos.
SHUT UP!
there's more: it can also identify and map the location where the pics were shot {geo tagging, seriously, using GPS data from your iphone};
apple in it's fab wisdom has put together a guided tour here...go check it out! for now, here's a screen shot...
and, u bloggers are going to love this...it can directly post sets of photos to several popular online services like facebook and flickr...and it syncs with them too! literally as easy a a click of the mouse. see it live here.
{if would like to read more about garage band and iMovie improvements and a review, please look here.}
well, i'm off to get the new upgrade...if hubs hasn't already!
look for a follow up post on "my iLife 09 experience" soon here at project{create a home}
and don't forget to scroll on down to see more fun stuff to do with your own home!!
wanna see more of me and my geekiness...i'm at a thorn among roses.

OMG, I was at the mac store tonight and noticed I life! What a dud my sales guy was!!! I had no idea what it was, and he obviously didn't have a clue..... I too love my I photo, although I haven't been able to figure out how to put pics on FB, really difficult. So I guess i will be heading back the the mac store after my excellent sales job by you! Can't wait to see your next post!! I love it....
