My life should have iLife '11

Apple announced the newest upgrade to their photo management/movie building/music making suite, iLife. There are some pretty cool updates to utilize, but we here at print>pixel are super jazzed about the iPhoto features. Little enhancements like uploading pictures directly to Facebook, a geographic map display using Places, and a full screen display are amazing. There are more options for building slide shows, photo books and cards. There is even....wait for it...a letterpress card option! I could barely contain my excitement while watching the info film on it.
iMovie also has a number of improvements. In addition to Aperture, we do put slide shows together in iMovie for expanded presentational possibilities. Making trailers, gaining more flexibility with audio soundtracks and new 'one-step effects' will be fun to play with.

This very user-friendly package works for the majority of Apple's customers. The tools make our work easier, making it easier for clients to catalog or share their treasured memories. The Apple site has a number of tutorials and if you're a new user you can take advantage of the one to one sessions, where you can work with a creative professional at any Apple store to learn the software or complete projects.
