With iPhoto, you always have a great view of your photos. A scrollable thumbnail grid lets you breeze through pictures in portrait or landscape. You can also compare multiple pictures side by side, select favourites and hide so-so shots in one fell swipe. It’s fun. It’s intuitive.
And once it’s in your hands, you can’t help but smile.
Double-tap an image and iPhoto automatically selects similar photos in your library. Compare
look-alike shots side by side. Mark your favourites. And flag photos to quickly find them later.
iPhoto completely changes the way you edit photos. You don’t need to be a professional or watch hours of web tutorials to know how it works. Simply touch the part of an image you want to change, then drag up, down, left or right to turn any piece into a masterpiece.
Straighten a crooked photo using automatic horizon detection. Crop out a distracting background (or maybe an ex-boyfriend). And with a flick of your finger, adjust exposure, contrast, saturation and more. You don’t even need to know what those things are. Just tap and drag until everything looks picture perfect.
Choose from dozens of beautifully designed photo effects to give your pictures that little extra something. Something dramatic, something soft and dreamy, something from another era or something just plain quirky. Use the swatch book to change the look and feel of each photo. Then pinch, zoom or slide to adjust an effect. And just like that, you’ve applied hours of professional edits in the blink of an eye.

With brushes, touch-ups are exactly that — you use your finger to paint adjustments onto an image. Swipe over an area to make it lighter or darker. Zoom in to brush away blemishes with the powerful Repair tool. Select the Sharpen brush to bring out the fine details. Or use the Soften brush to smooth hard lines and edges. (It works wonders on wrinkles too.)
In Brush mode, every photo is your canvas. For extra precision, turn on edge detection and brush freely — without worrying about painting outside the lines.
There’s the old way of creating photo galleries, then there’s the iPhoto way. Select a group of photos and iPhoto automatically flows them into a beautiful journal that’s fun to personalise and share online. Touch a photo to make it bigger or smaller. Or drag it to a different spot on the screen. iPhoto adjusts the page around whatever you’re doing, so your journal always looks great. You can even add captions, maps, dates and weather — giving family and friends the big picture at a glance.

Show off your photo journals on your iPad or iPhone. Or publish them as beautiful web pages that you can share with family and friends using iCloud.
Take a picture on your iPhone, then instantly beam a full-resolution copy directly to your iPad — or vice versa. If you flag a favourite, edit an image or add a caption, those things transfer too.
iPhoto automatically detects other iOS devices running iPhoto. So you can move photos securely — and wirelessly — between your iPad and iPhone over a shared Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection.
