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

How to share your pictures on your screen.

The most basic, every-day thing you will do with iPhoto is to simply look at your photos.

With iPhoto you can browse through a gallery of miniatures of your pictures, look at them full sized, and even zoom in on them to see the details.

1. Click the Organize tab to see "thumbnail" versions of all your photos.

   You can scan through the Library by using the up-down scrollbar on the right, or,

   Change the size of the thumbnails by using the side-to-side slider beneath the Library.

2. Choose a picture you want to see full-sized by clicking on it. A blue frame will appear around your choice.
3. Click on the Edit tab to make it full sized.
4. Return to the thumbnail gallery view by clicking the Organize tab.

A private screening of your photos.

iPhoto will automatically create your own private slide show of photos for you. With music!

If you have created any Albums *, open one of them. Then click the Slideshow icon at the bottom of the screen. Leave all the settings as they are in the window that pops up, just click the Play Slideshow button.

iPhoto will flip through your photos one at a time, with music!

* If you haven't created any Albums yet, you can try out slide show on your entire photo Library.

Don't worry if there's a long period of black screen before your photos begin, be patient. To end the slideshow just click your mouse anywhere on the screen.
