Are you a victim of your own success as a photographer? Are your grandchildren, children, girlfriend/boyfriend too darned cute not to photograph every day? Did you go on a trip and take 1000+ great photos? Perhaps you’ve taken movies with your iPhone or still or digital camera and they’re still in your device. Read More…

November 21st was a sampler day for MacLearn. Norman and Dorothy Hallett, Robbie Gee, Joan Larcom, Marcy Katz, Richard Sato, Lorie Goodman and Terrence Young had fun with all kinds of great apps for making things with images.
Terrence first shot a clip of each person in front of ING Direct’s green wall using the video feature of his regular Canon camera. The clips were brought into iMovie using the green screen effect and voila! folks were transported to Branson, the grandchildren’s house, Chicago or Europe.
Next was Photo Booth. Lorie took a video ride on a moving roller coaster and others tried the 4-up, sepia tone and miscellaneous effects. The computer’s built-in camera captured a still or a video clip which could be sent to iPhoto with one click.

September and October are good months for working our Macs and our brains. MacLearn had a series of workshops on iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD and iWork that did just that. Three excellent instructors made it happen! Here’s the run down.
iMovie and iDVD 09 Hands-on Workshop September 5, 2009
Joe Zaret, Apple Solutions Consultant from Best Buy Iwilei presented iMovie and iDVD. He began with a bonus Snow Leopard sneak preview. Then he demonstrated how you can select movie clips, add transitions, create titles and rolling credits and add music with drag and drop ease. You can send your movie to iDVD to create a one click DVD or use one of many templates to easily add a menu, music and graphics.
iPhoto 09 Hands-on Workshop September 12, 2009
Gregg Kamei, one of our skilled and patient HMAUS members presented iPhoto. Participants created albums, edited photos with a palette full of tools, created slideshows, and added titles and keywords to images. If you store your photos in iPhoto you can easily grab them from any other iApp.
iWork 09 Presentation September 26, 2009
Colin Murphy, Apple Solutions Consultant from Best Buy, Aiea presented iWork, Apple’s productivity suite of Pages, Numbers and Keynote. The interface is consistent across all three products, making it easy to know where to look for things. Controls for customizing text, objects and animations are tucked neatly into 10 Inspector palettes. Seven of the 10 Inspectors are the same in all three programs. You learn one, and the others are easy to navigate and use. Colin gave away a copy of iWork ‘09 to lucky Dorothy Hallet and Everett Young won a copy of Snow Leopard which he already had. He donated it to the upcoming Mactoberfest on October 24, 2009!
Pages 09 Hands-on Workshop October 3, 2009
Colin Murphy presented a second great workshop, this time a hands-on Pages session. Participants used one of Pages’ 44 templates to type or drag images into. They learned to easily put a border or picture frame around an image, make columns, and create charts and tables. Pages can open, save to and email files in Microsoft Office Word format.
Mahalo to Joe, Gregg and Colin for taking the time to prepare and present these excellent session! Thanks also to those of you who took the time to join us, and to our photographer Norm Hallett.
Here are Dwayne and Ellen Dorschu, Susan Saka, Junie Hayashi, Lisa Oi, Cliff Young and Barbara Lusch at Gregg’s iPhoto workshop. Kimo Sutton, Everett Young and Mike Brein are involved in Colin’s Pages workshop.
Handouts for these products can be downloaded from http://drop.io/hmaus_maclearn. We recommend you print from the PDF file rather than directly from this website. These handouts link to Apple’s iLife and iWork video tutorials.
