iPhoto '11 gained another point release yesterday, hitting 9.1.1. Slightly more than just bug fixes this time around, email got some attention with two extra email themes called 'Classic' and 'Journal.' A preference has also been added allowing you to specify the size of the photo being sent out via email and to allow photos to be emailed using an external client. Some other small tweaks have ...

Apple recently let loose an update for iPhoto '11, which should prevent the database corruption bug that a few vocal users experienced upon firing up the new version for the first time. It's a pretty serious error if you happen to lose your entire photo library just because iPhoto has to "upgrade your library," so let's hope Apple's put this one to bed. Still, if you haven't upgraded yet, it ...

If you don't know what RAW format is, you can stop reading now. If, on the other hand, you've just bought a brand new camera, shot a few pictures, and then bashed your head against your shiny white miracle machine because it doesn't recognize the file format -- well, I have good news! Apple's Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.3 adds RAW support for a bunch of brand new cameras to Aperture ...

If you're a Mac user who's considering giving iPhoto a try, and you're also a fan of sharing photos on Flickr, you might want to give FlickrImport a try. On its face, it's just a utility that imports your Flickr images into iPhoto, but there's more to this little gem than meets the eye. It preserves photo info, including EXIF and TIFF metadata. Even better, FlickrImport works for more than ...

As much as long-time Mac users love to sing the praises of Apple's iPhoto application that comes with the Mac operating system, switchers coming from Windows are often heard lamenting the loss of their beloved Picasa from the Windows world. Rumors have occasionally leaked out of Google pointing to the possible eventual release of a Mac version of Picasa. I know that I for one chose not to ...

If you've ever wondered what the easiest way is to send photos from iPhoto to Facebook, the answer is Facebook Exporter for iPhoto. Since Facebook is the largest photo website on the web in terms of images served, it makes sense that people would want to streamline the process of uploading photos to it as much as possible. Using Facebook Exporter for iPhoto, the process couldn't be more simple. ...

If you use iPhoto, and you have a Flickr account, but you don't have a way of getting your pictures from one to the other, you might want to give FFXporter a look. It's a free iPhoto plugin that -- just as the name would indicate -- exports files from your iPhoto library to Flickr. Although there are other ways of getting this done, I have yet to find another free one that works as well. ...

If you're an iPhoto user and want an easy way to upload your pictures from iPhoto to Picasa Web Albums (Google Photos), then check out Google's Picasa Web Albums Exporter iPhoto plug-in. The plug-in is available as part of a package from Google's Mac tools site (if you don't use iPhoto, you can use the standalone Web Albums Uploader program to upload your pictures to your Picasa albums). Once ...

Fire up Software Update, Mac OS X users, for iPhoto 7.0.2 has just been released. This update addresses "issues associated with publishing to .Mac Web Gallery, rebuilding thumbnails, and editing books. It also addresses a number of other minor issues." Thanks for clearing up those 'other minor issues', Apple. All we know is: this better fix the renegade Spotlight "mds" process that peaks our ...

If you have a Mac with a remote (and almost all of them ship with one these days), you might have been slightly dismayed to realize that other than controlling media playback there's not a lot you can do with it. As usual, someone has solved this problem. iRed Lite is a little utility that you can run on your Mac that will listen to commands from your remote and control other programs, like ...

For those non-Mac using readers, today may well have been just your normal day. However for us Mac-loving folk, today saw a special event at Apple HQ. Whilst Apple unveiled some shiny new hardware, they also unveiled arguably the most long-expected software upgrade ever: the iLife '08 suite. So what's new? Well from the look of things, it's a fair bit. iPhoto and iMovie saw the most change, with ...

The photos can also be viewed using a mobile phone, or web browser. The Mac application that Sharpcast has developed will make it much easier for Mac users to sync up and export iPhoto albums online.

I'm no great lover of Microsoft, but I will say that their Channel 9 blog always has something interesting, if a bit lengthy (where's the highlights reel, guys?), to watch. Yesterday they posted another video from Robert Scoble with the developers behind Microsoft's Codename Max, an interesting photo organizing/sharing app that we've reported on before. It's interesting to look over the ...
