Photo sharing, too, has been simplified. Choose from several different templates; drag, drop, and resize photos within; and choose whether to attach the full-resolution photos or just the postcard. Book creation, meanwhile, has undergone a complete carousel-inspired redesign.
Users can pick an album, click Create, select Book, and are brought into the new full-screen book creation view. The Cards creator features an introductory video on letterpress techniques for new and interested users.
Apple, it seems, has listened to these complaints. For your 15 bucks, not only do you get respectable and intuitive recording and mixing software, but you also get a full set of piano and guitar lessons that rival a living teacher and a Magic Garageband that lets you try your chops with a virtual band.
The mixing software can be augmented with downloads of more samples, loops, and tools, and you can buy lessons taught by pop stars who show you exactly how to play their hits.
There are also 18 new basic lessons, and now you can track lesson progress with a history chart showing your performances' accuracy over time. Garageband's Flex Time feature lets you correct or improve performances by stretching or compressing waveforms to better fit your tune. Groove Matching aligns all members of a group's tempo with that of the most rhythmic member. New virtual amps and stomp boxes give guitar players more acoustic possibilities and effects.
As with the other suite members, output options included sending to iTunes, creating an iPhone ringtone, or producing a podcast. For some upward mobility, you can open projects in Apple's pro-level Logic app, but not with the more widely used Pro Tools, Reason, or Ableton Live. Though no longer a focus of Apple's media suite, you can still create beautiful DVD productions with iDVD, which offers an appealing selection of themes appropriate for most occasions. The integration with other Apple apps such as iMovie and iPhoto, too, make this a valuable suite member.
A couple of drawbacks are the inability to author or burn Blu-ray discs, and the fact that you can't easily combine iMovie movies onto one disc project. You choose from 28 well-designed themes and add widgets. New letterpress cards let you combine your photos and text with elegant imprinted designs to create unique wedding invitations, birth announcements, holiday greetings and more.
You can choose from 15 different genres including Adventure, Romantic Comedy and Epic Drama, each one complete with its own unique titles, graphics and cinematic soundtrack.
Powerful new tools make it easy to selectively adjust audio levels and apply sophisticated visual effects like flash and hold, instant replay and jump cuts with a single click. People Finder analyzes your videos and marks sections containing faces, so you can quickly find the perfect clips for your trailer or movie.
