Taking digital pictures is easy enough. But organizing the hundreds of oddly named image files that wind up on your hard drive so that you can easily share your photos with friends--well, that can be quite a different story. Unless, of course, you have iPhoto, Apple's free digital photography program, and best-selling author Adam Engst's iPhoto 1.1 for Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide to get you up to speed on how to use it.

While most consumer photography programs help you edit your digital photos and turn them into projects, iPhoto focuses on organizing those photos and sharing them with others.

With a single click, you'll be able to order prints online, publish your photos to a Web page, or order a linen-bound book of your photographs. As with all VQS books, there are plenty of screen shots and graphics to illustrate key concepts, as well as tips to explain aspects of the program that aren't obvious form the interface or online help. Best of all, iPhoto 1.1 for Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide includes a trouble-shooting chapter that can save you hours of grief should something happen to an irreplaceable photo.
