iLife 08 software for digital scrapbooking

At the heart of digital scrapbooking on a Mac is iLife. Apart from organizing photos in their particular event, you can make movies as well as dvd’s and even web sites. I have this latest version and absolutely love how you can organize photos in iPhoto. You can label them as events and as you roll over the image it scrolls through all of your pictures. It is a great edition to iLife and really helps when you have 100 even 1000’s of pictures to go through. As a beginner it doesn’t take long to navigate. Absolutely love it!
