Apple iPhoto 1.1.1 Released

Posted by pudge on from the take-that-digital-hub dept.

xWeston writes "Apple accidentally released this online about a week ago, but now this is the official deal. iPhoto 1.1.1 is released! Apparently some of the new features are being able to adjust brightness, contrast, set as the desktop pattern, and my personal favorite. 'Email photos via mail.' I'm not too sure how emailing through the normal mail works but I'll give it a try." I also like that exporting QuickTime includes fades and music, so it looks just like the slide show.

    I would imagine they mean mail.app, apple's email client

    This is just a wild guess here...but I bet they mean that those pictures will be emailed via Apple's very own "Hello from Cupertino" Mail.app. Otherwise known as Mail, minus extension.

      According to the iPhoto site, they say, "Apple Mail", not just "mail". That makes sense since "Apple Mail" is the official name for the application.

      I admit that I didn't look at the iPhoto site because I don't have a digital camera, or at least won't until I get home :)

      But as far as "Apple Mail" being the "official" name...the actual file is called Mail.app (Mail when you aren't viewing all extensions). When you hold your mouse over the icon in the dock, it says "Mail." For all your normal, everyday intents and purposes, it is called "Mail."

  3. Segmenting film rolls by sg3000 · · Score: 2

    Has anyone tried the new iPhoto yet? It mentions that it can separate photos imported from a folder into different rolls, but what about segmenting existing rolls?

    I imported my pictures with iPhoto 1.0, and now I've got rolls with 280-something pictures in it. It would be nice if I could separate those out into smaller, more manageable rolls.

    Anyone played with it yet?

  4. No Software Update Yet by elmer-12 · · Score: 2

    I'm not seeing anything new in Software Update.
    I wonder what the usual length of delay between "download" release and "software update" release is.
    Why don't they do both at the same time, anyway?
    I've been clicking Update twice daily since this came out the first time - and I'll probably keep doing it until it works.

      Not available via Software Update because you don't get Apps from that utility, only System updates. Try www.apple.com/iphoto for 1.1.1

      OK - here's the reason maybe - iPhoto, although coming with the system, came on a separate CD. I bought from an independent retailer and they did not install. iTunes and IE on the other hand were pre-installed and there was no separate CD for them. So I guess I'll know what to download in the future.

  5. Still copies on import? by rjrjr · · Score: 3

    I still don't see any way to get iPhoto to index images that you already have on disk. It insists on copying them into its mysterious ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library hierarchy.

    Has anyone seen a way to make it act like iTunes, and index without copying?

      I have since switched to iView Media Pro. It is awesome for organizing large collections of digital media (photos + videos). It even handles the RAW file formats of Nikon and Canon cameras.

      I threw 2000 pictures at it and it handled it beautifully. Those guys who are looking into more serious digital photography or those with a large collection of pictures should look into iView Media Pro. It is worth the $49 you will have to spend after the trial.

    I have been importing my PhotoCDs... I may be the only one who used this excellent (if becoming obsolete) technology

    You were.

    My father worked at Kodak, and PhotoCD sales were so low that they started giving away the players to employees who worked overtime. So it's been sitting on the stereo cabinet, playing nothing but audio discs, ever since.

    It's going to find the same niche in history that the Disk Camera and the Instamatic did. And George Eastman will continue spinning like a drill bit in his grave, watching the hash people have made of his company.

    Well, since you asked, I did look through the front door - and if you look hard enough you find that people have different results depending on which way they install things.
    I know how to download it, but from the limited info I have I think the auto-update is a bit safer admin policy while the system is in good shape.
    Thanks for taking the time to offer your feedback, by the way :)

    You must be new to computers. Since the early days of computers they've been multitasking and reliable. For a couple of decades they went downhill with MS and Apple OSes. Right now Unix is probably a little way off being as reliable as a good old VM/CMS or VMS setup (which could quite happily handle hundreds of simultaneous users) and MacOS X is probably below par as Unices go. You shouldn't be getting too excited about being able to do two things at the same time - people have been doing it for decades.

    Be sure you leave the installed .app in the Applications folder. I tried to move it to a subfolder and File > Export stopped working!

    Creating web-ready collections for your website is an absolute joy with BetterHTMLExport 1.6.

    My only remaining gripe about iPhoto is that its so damn slow. I was hoping they'd iron out that 'implementing the mouse click you made 20 seconds ago' problem.

  10. exporting slide shows to quicktime by acomj · · Score: 2

    I was dissapointed too with the lack of cross fades in iphoto exports to quicktime.

    However I did the cross fading with imovie. although it is a pain a musical background and titlescan also be added. There is a lot more control over everything.

    I'm thinking malbe this movie creation might be applescripted..? Is that even possible in OS X?
