=Importing Photos= //A video tutorial IS available.// Importing photos from a variety of different sources, including your own hard drive, as well as cameras and phones, will be covered.

=Organizing/Viewing Photos= //A video tutorial IS available.// In iPhoto '11, you can organize your photos in a variety of different ways. Our video tutorial will show you how.

=Editing Photos= //A vdeo tutorial IS available.// Many people aren't perfect photographers. For those of us, like me, that aren't, we'll need to use editing tools on our computers afterwards to make our photos look the way we want them to be. What if you don't have a program for doing these edits? That's where iPhoto comes in handy.

Using the Editing Mode
To enter the editing mode, click the //edit// button on the lower bar. Please make sure you are already in a photo album before you click //edit// or else a popup will appearing stating a photo has not been selected to edit. This will enter iPhoto's //edit mode//. There will be three main editing areas on the screen:
 * At the bottom center there is a bar of images in which you can select the image you wish to edit.
 * In the middle area is the photo currently being edited.
 * On the right is the editing area where you can select editing tools and utilities.

Editing Photos
Photos can often have small blemishes and imperfections on them. To fix these small issues, choose the //Quick Fixes// tab. If you took a portrait orientation photo but the orientation is not displaying properly on the computer, click //Rotate// until your photo is in the right orientation. If you feel your photo is looking a little bland, iPhoto can automatically adjust the photo for you to make it more vibrant and good-looking. The results may vary, however usually it works quite well. To do this, click //Enhance//.

=The 'Create' feature= //Video tutorials will be up soon.//
