An undeniably brilliant upgrade

Advantages: Facial recognition, Places, precision editor, iweb ftp built in
Disadvantages: not enough slideshow themes in iPhoto, faces can be a bit awkward at times

...entire process follows the golden Apple rule- sounds complicated, turns out it’s not. As with all new technology, it is not foolproof and it may occasionally suggest that this person is Dave, when it is really Liz, but it is easily rectified by telling iPhoto (by simply double clicking the picture) that it is not who it thinks it is. Interestingly, iPhoto seems to get smarter as you do this and far fewer mistakes are made. Let me put this feature ...
...was a beautifully designed mess. Apple decided that they would revamp the formula and create an easy to use video editor- aimed primarily at the consumer market. In the process, many nifty and more advanced features were lost and the prosumer and professional market needed to look elsewhere; frustrating for many including myself. iMovie 09 sets out to rectify all that by introducing the new, ‘precision-editor mode’ making it easy to fine tune every ...

Review of Apple iLife 09

Great alternative to Microsoft Office

Advantages: Great user interface, fantastic templates, nice speed bumps,
Disadvantages: Still not as robust as Microsoft Office, some slowdowns when working on very large files

...09 The main feature Apple seems to want to show off is the new full screen view. This allows you to work on your documents without the clutter of the toolbar and the dock, leaving you with the document you are editing against a smooth black background. I have to say, this is a very nice feature, especially when you are working on a document that requires your full attention and concentration, like an essay- preventing you from getting distracted ...
...Pages also features new Apple designed templates, which as usual look stunning. You can easily drag and drop your images into the stock ones to change the templates quickly and easily. Another important feature is dynamic outlines- allowing you to structure and plan your work quickly and easily. In pure Apple fashion, you can add templates to your outline, and edit it by dragging and dropping. Other features include MathType and endnote integration ...

Review of ILife '05 Family Pack Complete package

Logic Pro 7.2 - A Must for any serious producers!

Advantages: Apple loops (acidized, royalty free) Audio instruments, Manual, Re-wire and auto save feature
Disadvantages: Takes a while of getting used to, possiblities of crashing when running 're-wire'

Logic Pro 7.2 in my opinion, is the best music production and recording application on the market today. It has so many features that makes it almost impossible to top. I have used many different music applications, ranging from fruity loops, to reason, to cubase to sonar. I also used them on different operating systems, but I always come back to logic pro 7.2 on the Imac. I produce all my music on this software and find it gives me the creative ...
...into the EXS24 sampler in logic you have a huge amount of sounds, where you can edit the release, attack, glide, pitch, volume, sustain and filter of the particular sound, aswell as more complex settings such as the multiple LFO etc. The exs24 also allows you to make your own audio instrument and spread it across your midi keyboard. You would simply record each individual note from say your guitar, or your bass, cut up each individual note and export ...

Disadvantages: Wheres the next update? its 2007?

At last! The new and long awaited update of iLife has arrived. Now the older version (iLife 05) was good but not great. So i hoped this one would be alot better... And it is! **What Is It?** iLife 06' is the newest update (at the time written of review) of all the major MAC computer programs e.g. iMovie, iTunes, iDVD, Garageband, iPhoto and introducing new iWeb. **Whats Does The Software Do?** iMovie- With this new update it has been highly updated ...
...easier to use. It contains brand new features such as themes. These are professionally designed scenes that can be personillised using different fonts, text, even video and graphics! Now containing more than 20 new movie effects and transitions, to give it a more fun and professional feel. But i;ve left the best till last. you now have the ability to make video podcasts to put onto iWeb and itunes. As long as you don't conflict the copyright laws. ...
