[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1188335, member: 24098"] iPhoto works great, but if you're used to manually managing your photo files, it will require a change in your thought process if you intend to get the most out of it. iPhoto kind of works like iTunes for pictures. It manages how your photos are stored, backed up and stores the original as well as any revisions to it. When you download images from your camera, it checks the date stamp on the pictures and sorts them by "events". If your camera was date stamping all of your photos with one particular date, then it will consider that a single event. Of course, you can group them any way you like once they're imported - this is just the default behavior. Like with any new tool, I recommend you give it a chance before you decide it isn't for you. Apple's 'Getting Started' guides are here: [url=http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/]Apple - Support - iPhoto[/url] ScreencastsOnline has some great tutorials as well (for lots of popular products including iPhoto '11): [url=http://www.screencastsonline.com/sco_info/newtothemac.html]New to Mac?[/url] [/QUOTE]
