My Mom's Guide to Using iPhoto 2 A step-by-step guide to the everyday features of iPhoto.

How to Use this Guide

Is it a breath mint? Or a candy mint?

Is this Guide a Tutorial? Or a Quick Reference? Well, I'm hoping that it can be both.

The instructions have been organized so that you can start at the beginning, and work your way through the whole thing, or, you can jump into a particular section to add a new skill, or refresh your memory about how to do something.

Each Section of this Guide is organized into three parts.

• The first is a brief introduction about the task or feature. This part explains, in general terms, what it does, and/or, why it is useful.

• The second part is a simple sequence of steps for how to do the task in question.

• The final part is a description of some other things you can do with this feature of iPhoto. This part is optional. You can use iPhoto just fine without knowing this.

I suggest hat you bookmark the Table of Contents page of this Guide in your browser so you can easily refer to it when needed. Also feel free to send the URL for the Guide to your friends, co-workers, and other Mac buddies.

Prerequisites:

A few sections in this Guide require you to understand how to perform some basic Mac OS X actions. The main one of these is the ability to locate things in folders on your hard drive, and to be able to use the Mac OS X Open/Save/Save As window.

If you are uncertain about these, you can refer to

• your Mac OS X manuals,
• to one of the excellent Intro to Mac references out there,
• or to your local Computer Mentor.

I'm working on a special section on this site that explains the Open/Save window. I'll let you know when that's available.
