New Applications: Apple iLife '11

The new version of iPhoto offers an array of full-screen modes for viewing events, Faces, Places, albums, and projects.

The app includes a variety of new slideshow themes, but one of the most compelling is the Places pin mode shown here. It aims to tell a trip-based story and looks pretty neat.


The program has also expanded its Facebook integration. iPhoto now creates complete themes within an e-mail message.

In addition, you can tag your friends from within the software, rather than having to enter Facebook separately.

Apple has made noticeable upgrades to the book creation feature in iPhoto. Here you can see the dynamic theme browser, which lays out your project in a carousel for easy viewing.

For those who miss iCards, Apple has added a new printing feature to iPhoto '11. You can build them easily from the theme carousel shown here.

The most exciting addition to the new iMovie is the ability to easily create movie trailers for your videos.

There are a handful of new auto effects in iMovie. Select "instant replay" to automatically insert text over a particular scene and have it repeated in slow motion.

The video-editing program already included several themes; Apple has now added some geared for sports and news.

GarageBand '11 doesn't have a huge amount of updates, but one major addition is a feature called Groove Matching. It lets you easily select tracks that play at different speeds and get them in sync.
