Nope, just got the last one on the shelf at the Apple Store, Rockingham Mall, NH!

Immediate update is showing for iPhoto (10.2 MB Intel), among a couple of others (Aperture [129 MB] and Front Row [5.2 MB]). Glad I upgraded my line to Fios.

What do you think of it overall? Is it worth the update?

Just noticed that iPhoto now places movies in a movies folder instead of scattered all in with your photos. This is just one example as there seems to be a lot of organizational features on top of the useful eye candy that is REALLY sweet in iPhoto.

I use Final Cut Express so iMovie will not be used much. I'll still check it out later though.

How does it organize them on the hard drive?   I always found the current way it saves them to be highly aggrevating when trying to open pics in photoshop.  Have they developed a less messy way of organizing pics?

Looks like the old file path: Users/Pictures/iPhoto Library. The weird thing is I can't see the individual photo files unless I use Spotlight. Instead in iPhoto Library there is the iPhoto icon and when you click on it it launches iPhoto which is messed up. I usually drag the photo I want to edit directly out of iPhoto onto my desktop anyway, but this new system seems f-up.

iPhoto has a setting under preferences to be able to open photos in an external editor like photoshop right in iPhoto.  When you edit in an external program, iPhoto saves the edit to your library, saves the original and has the revert options, all just as if you edited it in iPhoto.

I've just got to get past the old-school, drill down through the finder to find files like I've been doing since forever.  Sounds like the new iPhoto is a definite improvement.

An iWeb question now.  When using your own domain, does it have it's own FTP client for non .mac websites?  I actually have three different, unrelated sites I maintain (only one through iWeb right now), and would like something a little handier than "publish to folder" and an external FTP for updating.

Honestly, did you buy it?

Where's my Timeline?

Okay, I got that figured out but I don't like it. Again, waaaay less control compared to the old time line which was similar to FCE that had the audio controls, etc.

If he didn't that would be the fastest bit torrent seed ever.

NEVER!

Would it be possible to somehow keep iMovie 06 as well, if they are so different? After all, if you've paid for both, you should have the right to keep them if they are two different apps and not just a few improments.

I am still bummed by the Tiger requirement. I don't need is as desperately on my macbook as i do on my older Powermac G5, which still has Panther and the iLife 4 on it. So now I have to wait till october anyway.
