[QUOTE="Larry H, post: 1205841, member: 132591"] If you are a 'paper manual' kind of guy and relate better to a manual in book form than the video and help stuff on the computer, try the 'Missing Manual' series by David Pogue. The iPhoto 09 manual is bigger than my Mac Mini! A little study resolved my problems with iPhoto. I was trying to manage iPhoto like 'My Pictures' on my old PC and it just does not work. With some study I understood that the 'photos' section is a permanent file of the photos and that the 'events' section is an organization of the photos, things got easier. The 'photos' and 'events' are like an archive of the originals. If you want an album, you can create albums, and albums within albums. The original photos are still in the 'photos' section so you won't accidentally delete them. On a PC you have to be careful to distinguish between 'move' and 'copy' or photos get lost or deleted. No so on the Mac using iPhoto. You can copy a photo into an album and then use iPhoto to modify the photo without changing the original. Now that I have learned how to work iPhoto I like it better than 'My Pictures' on a PC. One feature of a Mac is that there are very few 'patches' or 'updates' compared to a PC. The Microsoft business model of early release and continuous patches sucks!! [/QUOTE]
