iphoto.

iphoto is a program that comes pre-installed on every mac. it is used to import, organize, edit, & publish photos. like most mac products, iphoto is extremely easy to use & makes a professional looking product. if you have macs in your classroom, iphoto should be your go-to application for any projects requiring photographs either imported from the web or taken by your own students.

iphoto easily organizes your photo in 3 unique formats. events will group your photo by date, places will organize photos by geographic location, while faces uses facial recognition technology to group your photos by person. all 3 grouping formats are easily customizable, making it easy to organize & reorganize your photo library. outside of organization, editing is also a snap. iphoto allows you to adjust exposure, contrast, sharpness & most other common color-related changes. the program can also adjust the angle of your photo & offers a great retouch option. retouch allows you to blend colors & essentially airbrush your photos' trouble spots.

publishing photos has never been easier. iphoto supports one click uploading to several popular photo-sharing websites. the application also makes creating photo slideshows a breeze. simply select the photos you want, theme, length, & music to create a professional looking product.

final verdict.
i have never used a better photo program than iphoto. it's easy. it makes great looking products. it's free (as long as you own a mac, which you should). i use it. i love it. iphoto.
