iPhoto '11 brings huge updates to printing, full screen, Facebook sharing

Apple has announced a new version of iPhoto in iLife '11, and it brings a boatload of new features to the table, including:

Full screen browsing of all Events, Albums, Maps, and pretty much everything else.
"Smart" slideshows that use your location information from Places to create dynamic shows that use maps from places you've been.
Floating menus that allow for operation of the entire app from the full screen mode.
Deep Facebook and Flickr integration that syncs all of your photos both ways, regardless of whether or not they were added by iPhoto.
A new email template feature that creates some stunning HTML email galleries of your photos.

All of this is wrapped in a gorgeous iOS-styled interface (look at the bottom navigation bar)! More to come in the near future.

There is a shared library functionality in iPhoto 11. I've just copied photos from my iMac to my MacBook Pro using this feature. Just make sure you click in your iPhoto preferences on your "main" computer (desktop in my case) and iPhoto will automatically list your photos and albums (not events) when you access it from your laptop. It works similary like the shared library in iTunes.

I didn't get iLife 09 and from what I've seen of iLife 11 I won't be getting that either. How about adding in customised photo resizing? How about adding captions to pics? What about grouping pics by main colour? When are they going to be able to read Windows XP EXIF file info for ex-PC switchers who added comments and keywords to thousands of photos which iPhoto cannot read?

Considering it's almost two years since the last version, is this all they can do? A few cosmetic changes and some minor tweaks here and there? What on earth have they been doing?

I must be one of the only people who doesn't care about any of these features. Heck, I still prefer iPhoto 6...*sigh*

I'm no Mac h8r and have both PCs and Macs but really Steve... you just figured out that clicking on a single button to bring an app full screen is good?!? Have you ever seen that magical little button that you're competition has had since Windows 3.0? That's my biggest annoyance with Mac OS which has always kept me from really using it. It was just way too much of a pain clicking and dragging a window around using a trackpad to get a full screen window.

I really, *REALLY*, don't like this whole move to the iOS look and feel.

Who can blame them? I'm fairly certain they don't take 30% from the businesses who develop software for current OS X version.

they couldn't update Picasa support while they were at it? This feud is getting ridiculous.
