Lesson 4
For this Lesson you can start on page 80. You will connect to the server, go to iLife05 > Lesson 4 and find the following folders: L4.Biz roll 1, L4.Biz roll 2, L4.Biz roll 3, and L4.Dad roll 1 and drag them into your open iPhoto window.
So far you have learned the following: how to download (import) pictures into iPhoto, how to organize your pictures into film rolls (Go to View > Film Rolls), how to change the roll's title and date, how to delete photos, how to rotate photos and how to use the Size Slider (to enlarge your pictures).
Remember: You can select multiple pictures by clicking a photo, holding down the Shift Key and then clicking the last photo of the group you want to select (the whole group will be selected). You can select non-consecutive photos (photos not next to one another) by using Command-click - which means you select one photo, press the Command Key and then select the other ones you want.
In Lesson 4 you will learn to organize your photos into albums. Albums are the primary method for organizing photos in the iPhoto program. An album in iPhoto is like a playlist in iTunes. There are two ways of creating an album in iPhoto: 1) Click the Plus Sign Button at the bottom of the Source Column; 2) Go to File > New Album.
After you create your album, you can simply drag the photos you need from the Library onto the album. Follow the instructions carefully - READ! You will also learn in this lesson to re-order the pictures in an album, to add comments, keywords and ratings to images, to create "smart albums", to crop pictures, to enhance photos, to remove red-eye and to organize your Sources.
When you're done with the exercises in Lesson 4 (Pages 80 - 91), please type (your notes) the Summary in Page 115 "What You've Learned" and any other notes you deem necessary.

Yesterday (09/17/07) you downloaded 4 folders from Lesson 4 in iLife05 (in the Server): L4.Biz roll1, L4.Biz roll2, L4.Biz roll 3, and L4.Dad roll 1 into your open iPhoto window. You also learned how to create albums in iPhoto and how to download pictures from your "Library" into those albums (by dragging the specified photos). By now you should have the following albums in your "Source Column": Birthday Party, Company Press, Sgraffito and Ceramic Process.
Today you will learn about adding "Keywords" and "Ratings" to your photos. Please start on page 91 (bottom).
A keyword is a preset word or phrase that you can assign to any image. Assigning keywords makes it easy to find specific kinds of photos in your collection. You can select a keyword from a preset list or you can create your own keywords.
Continue on page 92. Read the instructions carefully. Remember: if you want to see the keywords you have used on your pictures, go to View > Keywords. You can assign more than one keyword to a photo.
To find all the photos with a given keyword, you can press the keyword button (it looks like a key) at the bottom of the source column.
You can also add ratings to your photos. iPhoto provides a scale of 1 to 5 stars (five stars being the best) that you can assign to any image. Using keywords and rating your pictures is important when you want to create "Smart Albums". Read the bottom of page 95 carefully.
All you have to do to add ratings is select the picture, go to the Information Pane and click and drag accross the rating line (this will add the stars). If you want to see the ratings you gave to your photos go to View > My Rating.
Once you complete adding keywords and ratings to the Customer Pieces (finished pieces) you can continue at the bottom of page 97, to learn how to create "Smart Albums".
The advantage of creating a "Smart Album" is that iPhoto will automatically select the shots according to the date, keywords and/or the ratings of your pictures and very quickly create an album according to your specifications. This particular "Smart Album" will contain the best photos of the customer pieces - like a show-off album.
If you follow the exercise up to page 101 and clearly understand how to create a smart album, you can continue learning how to crop and enhance pictures.
Tip: you can always undo the last thing you did by pressing Command-Z or going to Edit > Undo.
You can continue learning how to enhance pictures in iPhoto (page 108), how to remove red-eye (page 109) and how to straighten crooked pictures (page 111). You will finish the chapter learning how to organize your sources into folders.
