IPhoto technical/user manuals

Finding my way around the Mac software world during the last 2 weeks and surprised at the lack of documentation for iPhoto. Any pointers please?
I am fairly computer savvy and feel somewhat foolish having to ask some basic questions to get going.
Looking at this iPhoto product, I am trying to assess whether it is a mainstream and stable product or just a mere add on. I love the graphics, but looking at this particular topic, there appears to be many bugs.
At the moment I am hesitating in purchasing CS3 until I am more confident on what is going when interfacing it within the Mac environment.

Have you checked the Help?
There are a couple of iPhoto - the Missing Manual series, but they haven't been updated for v7 yet.
iPhoto is a consumer level photo organiser. It's in the 7th version, so I would regard it as a stable, mature application. But, and this is important, it's a consumer level product. There are limitations and I wouldn't recommend it for use in a professional environment.
As to the "bugs" - and I put that in inverted comments deliberately - I make two observations.
1. Only people who have issues come here. The rest of the users never come here. Assessing the stability of the app by what's written here is akin to visiting your local Emergency Room to assess the health of your local community.
2. If you read the actual posts you will see that a great many of the posts are repetitive - for instance how many are people who don't understand the change in Library Format between v6 and v7? More are people confused by a change in the application compared to an earlier version. Very few are actually anything that could be classified as a bug.
As to using PS with iPhoto: You can set Photoshop (or any image editor)as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically.
Mind you, there's a new version of PSE due in the new year. Rather less expensive. As one regular poster here puts it, 85% of the functionality and 15% of the price.
By all means post back at any time if you need clarification of anything.

  • Technical User's manual for FW800

    Hello everybody. I recently bought a second-hand G4 Dual 1,25 FW800 like new. I wonder if I can find its hardware(technical) user's guide ? I found pdf GigAudio or Ethernet setup not complete enough for my purpose. I have to install à 3d HD, and incidentally I would like to have a complete description of this beautyfull computer.
    Have a good evening.
    PS I went on Apple Discussions a long time ago for my PM 9600 still running quite well because of you, men ! I'm gratefull.
    By the way, I removed the 4 screws of the side panel. Is just in the middle a sort of enclicked plastic "thing" ? I'm afraid to pull.
    PM G4 Dual 1,25 FW800   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    It is a piece of cake.
    Just understand that anytime you open the case you are risking electrical static discharge which can fry the mother board. Although with the 50+ Macs I have replaces HD's in I have (KNOCK ON WOOD) never had a static discharge. Some of these computers were school computers that we had hundreds of, and I did not care how rough I banged around inside. Sometimes even left everything plugged in and did not even rub the power supply. I even left one running and unpluged the HD. Not a single fried Mac in the 20 years I have been working on Macs.
    Unplug everything, open the case discharge static electricity by rubbing the power supply.
    Push down on the tab sticking out of the barrette that holds the ATA ribbon. Poof it comes up releasing the cable.
    Remove one screw, pull up on the gray lever, push gently up..BOOM the whole case comes out. Unplug everything.
    Extra screws are on the HD holder.
    Install the HD, set both to slave, unless you are using 3rd party PCI133 card. Put the ribbon on, put the power plugs in.
    Line up the three rivets with the three slots and push the case with the HD's in it back down, until it clicks in. Make sure all three rivets got into all three slots, or the hard drives can fall out on to the CPU and kill your computer.
    Make suer you place the ribbon into the barrette like fastener and click it back together.
    See now that was easier than undoing your girlfriends bra strap.

  • "Scale to sequence" missing in Modify, yet users manual says it is there

    I want to enlarge a photo imported into FCE from Iphoto and can't figure out how to do it. The Users Manual that comes with FCE on page 763 says to go to Modify then Scale to Sequence, but there is no such command in Modify.
    I see that Tom Wolsky says there is no such command available in FCE, then why is it in the Manual?
    Very frustrating.
    Anyway, is there a way to enlarge an imported photo either in Timeline, Viewer, or Browser?
    All help is appreciated.

    When the images are in the sequence select them and use remove attributes Cmd-Opt-V. Check basic motion to reset the scale. You can also open individual items into the Viewer and reset he scale in the Motion tab.

  • Looking for writing User Manual

    We developed a application and we want to know is there any tool or Apex supports writing user Manual/technical manual (help file) .
    Currently we are writing in word doc.
    Any help is really appreciated.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Apex has built in help facilities. Virtually any item you create has a help text section which can be activated at an item level. Context sensitive page level help can also be added to an application which automatically hooks into this help text. See the following
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/app_comp.htm#CHDCDBFB
    A tip for this is that if you enter your help text as raw html, it will display formatted. An easy way to do this is to create a dummy page with one item that is a text area with HTML editor. You can create your formatted text in this area and then switch the view to html text. This text can then be cut and pasted into the help text field for the relevant item.
    Another tip is to create your help text page with a close button (there is a javascript URL for doing this) and then editing the help item in the navigation bar to launch the page as a popup. (Using javascript popup URL).
    Regards
    Andre

  • I have a new mac book pro but cant find a user manual?

    I have a new mac book pro and cant find a user manual?

    being a windows user I too looked for a book as I had pretty much all large OS changes like XP to w7Pro.... so barnes and noble has what I found to be an excellent book after looking through many at bookstore...
    "OS X Mavericks The Missing Manual" which covers OS X 10.9.1 first edition was dec 2013 so recent book 850 plus pages of info and pictures very easy read and the views make it simple to follow.
    Me I like technical info but this book is for everyone with sections on just about every topic the OS has.
    I do believe I paid like $35 (US) but well worth it as I hadn't touched an Apple since 1988 with truly floppy discs we used to punch nothces in.
    Author is a N. Y. Times writer who wrote many a "Missing Manual" as I can't remember the last time anything came with a manual. I had a $4600. windows machine built by Puget Systems and others over the years from Falcon Northwest.... none came with manuals other than similar to Apples quick info foldout.
    Good luck

  • User Manual refers to Record Icon, and even pictures it.

    But it doesn't exist in Captivate 8. I am trying to make a guide for my employees, and previously Captivate had a red button to record slides. Now it is gone, and I figured out to go to Slides>Software Simulation to add slides, but the Adobe User Manual clearly refers to a red icon, and even shows a picture of it. Is this a bug to be worked out?

    It appears you have indeed found a bug...in the documentation.  It's lagging somewhat behind where the application is at the moment.  Please log a bug report about it with Adobe and perhaps they'll get their team of Technical Authors onto updating that part of the doco.

  • Any Way to Save a pdf User Manual?

    I seem to recall that in previous versions of FCS apps, including Motion, you had the Help option to open (usually in Preview) a pdf User Manual. From there, via the Print dialog, you could do a "Save as PDF", into the folder of your choice.
    I often like to have a searchable User Manual which I can access without having to launch the app itself. So I created a special folder into which I would save separate pdf copies of user manuals which had been incorporated into the apps themselves. But in Motion 4, all I'm seeing is an HTML Help Document, and trying to "Save as PDF" via the Print window only seems to let me save the one currently visible page, nothing more.
    So -- is there still any way to create a separate, searchable User Manual for Motion (and for the other FCS3 apps), or have even pdf help documents gone the way of those two-ton paper manuals of yesteryear?
    Thanks,
    John Bertram

    Yeah, the PDF functionality is lost within the FCS3 apps themselves. The Pro Apps team wanted to be able to continually update the Help files, so they were made (exclusively) web-based.
    That resulted in a bit of an outcry. Thankfully, the team listened, we have to now visit the Help pages for each app (here's the one for Motion) and open/download from the View as PDF link.

  • Automatic Conversion of PR to PO.. Need User Manual for ME59 T code

    Hai Sap Gurus,
    I Got the following content from net. but kindly help me by sending me user manual for ME59.
    You created purchase requisition for various material. During creation of purchase order you used the following path:
    Purchase Requisition
    .......Follow on function 
    .........Create Purchase Order
    ............automatic via purReq. 
    When you mentioned required purchase requisition number and execute, system give error that purchase requisition does not contain any suitable item. 
    Is there any setting in customization where you can monitor and use that function.
    In an effort for you to successfully use the Transaction Code ME59 to automatically convert the current PR into PO, then the following criteria should be met: 
    1) In the Purchasing View of the material master data, the "Autom. PO" field must be clicked; 
    2) In the Purchasing View of the Vendor Master Data, the "Automatic Purchase Order" field must be clicked; 
    3) The Outline Agreement or Purchasing Info Record shall be maintained which will allow the automatic copying of unit price and other conditions into PO; 
    4) The Source List shall be maintained for the nominated vendor which was shown in either the Outline Agreement or Purchasing Info Record. 
    or 
    it might be PR subject to release strategy and not yet released
    or 
    If you're not using a source list or automatic creation of PO, you may need to assign the requisition to a purchase information record using transaction ME56. Then it should appear in ME58
    Thanks.. Reply me pls...
    Edited by: Swetha SAP Girl on Jun 18, 2009 2:19 PM
