iPhoto '08

Do these Events get replicated onto iPods? It would be nice if they did, also, how about iPods supporting the folder structure in iPhoto? Does anyone know if the iPhone does?

Greg-
You can choose individual pictures to import off a memory card:

When you attach a digital camera and see the import screen, press the 'Return' key (the one above the Shift key) on your keyboard twice in succession. iPhoto will switch to editing mode, showing all pictures that reside on the digital camera. Just drag the ones you'd like to import into your library. Of course I can't confirm this for iPhoto'08 yet.

So, will the Event goodness also be migrated into the Pro apps?

I'd love it if I could have Aperture look at my iCal data, and recognize that pictures at a certain date/time matched specific engagements and auto-tag them. That'd be sweet!

This update is a giant waste.

-Is manually creating an album to file your pictures that difficult?

-.Mac's web sharing is an improvement, but it's still not as good as Flickr. And .Mac is more expensive than Flickr.

As iPhoto is the only aspect of iLife that I use, I'm going to pass on this version.

Greg – You kinda can already do that. I know it's not quite the same as doing it directly within iPhoto, but you can use the Image Capture application to do exactly that and import just individual shots.

If you are not obsessed with Apple news... why would you read this site?

It is about Apple...

iPhoto 08 looks great. However, I was hoping for a way to not have to import everything on your memory card into iPhoto. You should be able to see thumbnails and select what you want to import. Also, nobody has mentioned the new iPhoto icon yet. It looks similar, but the camera on the icon is different.

I'd love to see facial recognition tech added to iPhoto for automated tagging as well. A web startup called Riya offered such tech about a year ago. They've since changed direction, but the original concept was neat - see this for reference http://blogs.pcworld.com/techlog/archives/001419.html

Is something Event like also going to be available for Aperture?

I mean, I just donwloaded 124MB of upgrade yesterday, I hope some of the new iPhoto features will also be available for users who spent a fair amount of money for Aperture (a software that I have to admit, I like very much).

I haven't had a chance to look around for the new Aperture features, so I am looking forward to a review by someone about what has been added or about the way Aperture interacts with iPhoto 08.

For a 124MB update I expect some changes...

Aperture isn't bloatware -- it just takes a fair amount of processing power to render your RAW files live, which is what you're asking it to do when you want non-destructive editing. You can't push pixels in RAW without rendering it, which is what iPhoto does.

You can't have it both ways -- you can have it the iPhoto way or the Aperture way, but there's no in-between.

And I love how people complain that these programs don't have features that they've had for years already. When COULDN'T you move the iPhoto library?
