Apple iLife '11 (DVD-ROM)

Customer Review

I can only judge the program iPhoto 11 (version 9.1.1) on a MacPro (MacOSX 10.6.7) and that's milking the mice !!! Today again only talked to the telephone support from Apple, who himself admitted that iphoto11 has a few weaknesses and many runs to be automated.

Importing your own photos into the iPhoto Library works only once smoothly even if it annoys natural that iPhoto always saves a copy of the images and thus generates twice as much data and all pictures divided in any events that need to be processed manually instead of their own folder structure to assume (like Picasa). The iphotolibrary you can only see when you go right click on Library and View> Package Contents> Masters clicks. There you will find then the images his Library subdivided in a very wayward folder structure: 2011> 03> 17, 21, 23, 25> 20110317-160603 When asked how this crude folder names revealed nothing with the original folder names "Holiday Hille Mille" or have "KundeXY" to do, unfortunately, could not answer me the Apple Support. That is unfortunately like that.

I've created a 100-page photo book about iPhoto in what felt like 1000 hours of work. Layout options very nice, improved more types of pages than before, font options, everything was great. This then I wanted to order, of course. Well, that went not after I had already given my credit card information, suddenly at page 37, the error message that iPhoto the Orignaldatei no longer finds. Ok, photo replaced again uploaded again error message. So then spotted an error message for error because various original files were untraceable iPhoto supposed that I could easily find within the iPhoto library in the Finder. A repair of iphotolibrary (alt + cmd, restart) brought nothing, the library could not be repaired. So I "reset original" all photos of all the events of my book on set, which also worked. (Again half day work). But luckily I had not worked so my photos foresight in iPhoto itself, then all the photo retouching had been away but in Adobe Photoshop so that my image adjustments were not lost. At this time I had already returned a few hours spent in order to gather up my forums and on the internet the appropriate assistance.

But now my photos were distorted shown in the photo book. Pictures I had cropped in order to optimize the shot were distorted in the photo book, double click the file to open the Orinal, there everything was fine. No forum could help, so called telephone support from Apple Care.

The very friendly staff then informed me that iPhoto is unfortunately not compatible with Photoshop, ie iPhoto recognizes the edited and saved in Photoshop images no longer correct. So I could start either from the front ie away finished book, für'n Ar *** or trying to delete Felt 1,000 hours of work distorted pictures from the album, all edited in PSD images (ie all) save new to the Deskop and again in reimport, the library which I then four copies (Orinaldatei, photoshop edited version, iphotoversion and iPhoto thumbnail version) the same images would have a dataset of more than 100 GB!

When I asked why iPhoto because ever allowed an external image editing program to use (by double-clicking Photo in the book can be the original file open in PSD and cmd + S to save, the changes are reflected immediately in the book) if so processed images on export will no longer be recognized for the pressure, unfortunately, he could not give any information to me. You can circumvent the problem only if you as I have said again separately stores and reimported these files, so hoch5 cumbersome.

I know Picasa and have to say that iPhoto with all his circumstantial event -and-Library fuss and Doppelabgespeichere and thumbnail Matters and images-not-more-Wiedergefinde is no alternative in comparison. The program is mE unsuitable for professional use! I'll try this photo book somehow still get printed and iPhoto then turn their backs. My Images management runs much better and easier than Picasa, although Picasa also creates an alias ... well, and Apple Photo Books I'll forego future.
