This manual also includes a 138 page section covering all the iLife applications. iMovie, iWeb, iDVD, iTunes (version 9), iPhoto and GarageBand. I cover the working environment and all the Menus for each app. It is not meant to be a step by step by step manual in creating projects. Just the essence of what makes up the application. My guide is printed in an easy to read 8" x 10" format. With this guide in hand, you can easily become a Mac or iLife power user in no time!!!
