In the May “I’ve Got Photos!” MacLearn session on May 22 we went on a wild ride through 5 different free programs you can use to organize, edit and share your 1000s of photos.  It was fun but a mental challenge to remember everything.  So, here are some tutorials to help you!  Handout at http://drop.io/hmaus_maclearn

iPhoto - Jerome Koehler, Apple Solutions Consultant from Best Buy Aiea stepped us through the interface, keywording, faces, places, albums and web galleries. He also demo’d the cool editing tools you have for free in your iPhoto app.   The very best tutorials for this are at the Apple site.  http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto

Flickr is for storing, tagging, organizing and sharing pictures.  The free version works find but the paid version is very inexpensive and gives you unlimited space and uploading bandwidth.  Here is a YouTube tutorials to get you started. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaaS56QCkoU

Picnik is a free online photoediting site.  Do adjustments, add Photoshop styles effects, add frames and text, resize and save.  Very intuitive but if you want to see an overview click the link below. The paid version gives you more effects, frames and clipart etc.  But try the free version first.  No storage – work on one image at a time and save it.   http://web.me.com/joanmats/HMAUS/Picnik/Entries/2008/12/16_What%CA%BBs_Picnik.html

Tabblo.com is a cool photosharing site with drag and drop layouts and one click uploading.  Owned by HP, it brings comments from all over the world.  Very cool.  http://screencast.com/t/NThhMWYyMmEt

Smilebox is an e-card site made for Macs.  Again, drag and drop photos and videos into hundreds of animated card, collage, album template.  http://screencast.com/t/OTc2ZmE3ZjUt View the videos and let us know if they’re helpful.  If so, we’ll make more.  If not we’ll do something else.  Make suggestion so we can all learn better and faster.  SMTLSLT   So much to learn, so little time!  Mahalo! http://www.hmaus.org/meetings-workshops/maclearn/maclearn-registration/
