 Another hit from Apple! January 22, 2005

Apple's hardware is great but their software is even better. iLife '05 is a huge update with many improvements over the '04 version.
Big improvments have been made to iPhoto and iMovie. Garageband has some nice updates as well but I don't heavily use it so I can't really comment on it too much. iDVD has some really nice new themes, a lot nicer than last years.
If you don't own a Mac, this is the reason to buy one. Nothing like this package exists on the PC and the price just makes it even sweeter. It costs a bit more this year but they made many more improvments so it is worth it.
If you do own a Mac you owe it to yourself to pick this up. This is a great set of applications that goes unmatched.

I have used both Mac and PC computers. I have also used software written for both. There is nothing easier or more intuitive than Apple iLife and '05 is a genuine improvement over '04. You would have to buy several software programs at $400-$600 each to do what iLife can but they will never match iLife or ease, simplicity, and intergration. It doesn't take a lot of computer savvy to maximize iLife and it does most of the work for you - and now even more quickly than ever. Other softwares we have used for loading pictures are slow, hard to manage, and really a pain. If you are looking for a software that allows you to manage your pictures, make movies, post things on the internet, and be able to access them, you will not find a more user-friendly program anywhere.
With iLife, you can edit your pictures. You can order copies with just a click of a button. With just another click, you can e-mail them to anyone in your e-mail address book. Another click you can post them on a web-sight for your friends to see. In addition, you can set your pictures, web sights to your favorite music in iTunes and load them on your iPod and taken them anywhere.
Speaking of iTunes - . if you haven't discovered iTunes yet go to Apple's home page and check it out. iTunes makes it easier and more affordable to buy music. With iTunes you can buy entire albums or only the songs you want from a particular CD. Once down loaded, you can arrange them in any order you want, burn them on your own CD or hook your Mac to your home stereo and listen through you speakers. In addition, whatever music you have in iTunes is easily used in iPhoto, iDVD or the other applications iLife and is fully intergrated with iWork. You will not be disappointed with iLife unless you love to spend tons of money for three or four different software programs that will not work together as seamlessly as iLife.

I thought iLife '04 was good, but this version is even better.
iPhoto now supports RAW images, which is all I ever shoot on my Canon 10D, so now iPhoto has all of my images cataloged in it. I also like that iPhoto will now catalog video clips. Most of the clips I have are just silly videos I have found out on the net, but now I have a better place to store them.
iDVD has some really beautiful themes! I just wish Apple had released '05 a few months ago - I could have really used some of the new themes when I was working on some video projects!
I am also glad to see widescreen hit iMovie. I don't do any HD stuff, but I do like to shoot in 16x9 mode. I do wish Apple had included some more goodies in iMovie with regards to transitions/effects/titles, but just having the upgrade to do widescreen is worth it to me.
Haven't and don't really intend on playing with Garage Band, so can't comment on it.
Why can't all software work like this? February 15, 2005

This is a great suite of software. Each component is best-in-class, and taken together, they constitute a real value for your money. I haven't used the iDVD component, but the others are very simple and intuitive to use. I'd used iPhoto and iTunes in earlier versions, and the changes to the latter are relatively minor (and a free download, if you don't want the whole package). The iPhoto changes are the ones that have been the most useful for me. I'm hoping to spend a bit more time with GarageBand soon, but a couple of the changes there are already appreciated, even though I'm very, very limited as a musician. It's just fun to play around with.
One other note - another reviewer has rated this one star because he or she couldn't install it on a computer running OS X 10.2. First of all, I'd say the reviewer seems to be unclear on the point of these reviews. Following his/her lead, I suppose I'd have to rate a lot of Windows software at one star, because I can't install it on my computer at home. And I have to wonder whether that reviewer, and the others with the same problem, saw that the latest version of iTunes will run on 10.2 and just extrapolated that to the idea that all of iLife will run on 10.2. Of course, I suppose it is possible that the website wasn't clear.
The iPhoto alone is worth the price March 16, 2005

All of the improvements are great. I was editing a video for a presentation when my order arrived. There was a transition that I simply could not get the old iMovie to do. I installed the new iLife and told it to make the same transition in the film and it worked perfectly. I don't know why or how but I was sold five minutes after the box arrived.
I still think iPhoto is the best improvement however. I really like the scrollable photo index when looking at a picture in edit mode. I also like the ability to eject the camera from within iPhoto(I sometimes forgot to do this before.) And the one-touch red-eye correction is nice too.
Also I like the new themes for iDVD. The movie I was editing ended up getting one of the new themes instead of the old theme I had originally picked and I was very pleased with the end result. The presentation was a big success.
