iPhoto First Test
I continue to be impressed with the Mac’s functionality and ease of use. I was anxious to see how iPhoto’s functionality compared to Photoshop on my PC. iPhoto did not disappoint. I took the photo below with my digital camera, and when I plugged the camera into the Mac using a USB connection, iPhoto immediately kicked in and presented a completely intuitive interface for downloading the images and organizing them in various ways.
Cardinal
iPhoto has all the basic functions that you need to accomplish basic photo editing in an easy to use package. I was able to quickly find and use the enhancement tools and cropping options to get the photo into a format suitable for publishing to my blog. Exporting the image to a jpg was also a snap. Once I was done though the image was still too large to post as it was so I decided to upload it to Flickr and serve it up from there rather than from my server. I found a Flickr uploader for Mac OS X on the Flickr site, downloaded and installed it, and used it to upload my image. Again, everything went smoothly and easily.

Great! I don’t have a Mac, so not sure of your setup, but the photo looks nice to me. Love the cardinal!
Dawn – thanks. I have been pleased with my results so far. I’m pretty new to photography, and digital photography, as well as photo editing, so I need alot more practice to become truly proficient. I liked the cardinal too. I was surprised that the shot came out as well as it did because it was late in the afternoon and there was limited light.
Thanks for commenting. I love encouragement!
