I restarted after repairing permissions and had the exact same problem... going to reinstall 4.0
quick question
When I saw the post of a new iPhoto I was happy as it is generally a slow application, but when I ran software update nothing came up for me.
When I checked the version on my iPhoto it is only 2.0....I haven't purchased iLife and therefore don't have iPhoto 4.0, am I forever cut out of the iPhoto updating loop unless I buy the iLive suite???

Well, yes and no. It does a temporary undo of color change operations, not cropping operations...

A _VERY_ good question.

I had exactly the same question. And after reading through the thread I am still wondering. Maybe because you have to purchase it.
iPhoto 3
They just skipped version 3 of iPhoto so that in iLive '04 all apps (except Garageband) would be version 4.

1700 photos (3gb total) converted in 8 minutes by powerbook 1.25ghz. this is far less than it took to make a backup sitx of the photo library.

wow, did anyone else check out that PC software eric was talking about? holy iPhoto RIP. their tagline is "the software that should have come w/ your digital camera." how about, "the software that should have come w/ your computer...had you bought a Mac".
it looks like someone ported iPhoto to windows, took the blue out of the buttons & changed the name. i'm surprised they didn't call it "iPicasa"...
Diversionary tactic.
Show us the hardware Steve.
You can't buy us off any longer.
The peasants are angry and they're carrying pitchforks.

well... if you do two or more steps, like crop, turn to sepia, adjust bightness etc... holding the ctrl key only reverts you back to the previous state, not the original.

i can't be sure, but i presume apple just wanted to unify the product numbers of their iLife applications... itunes 4, imovie 4, iphoto 4, idvd 4, for ilife 04... however, garageband throws this theory totally askew... so... i don't really know for sure.
ct77 said:I don't think I've checked this myself since I upgraded to iPhoto 4, but...
... in previous versions (and, I expect in iPhoto 4) you can export a slideshow (or maybe simply a batch of photos, not a real slideshow?) to Quicktime. Then presumably you could just take the resulting Quicktime file and burn it in iDVD.
Only problem I can see with the idea I've presented here is that video is lo-res... 640x480... I'm not sure what that means for the photos (cropped or resized to lower pixel density).
Did this make any sense? It's been a long day...
images are resized to your specification...
you are right about being able to burn the resulting file in iDVD.
there should probably be an option to choose the transition...
if you can't live without the cube transition... use keynote to organise your photos and then export as a quicktime movie... or use snapz pro x...
toast does slideshows too...

the default photo resolution when exporting an a QT movie are very good for standard televisions.

it does do a temp undo of crop operations... but only if other operations were not performed
macboygrey said:
another theory of mine is that it was _SO_ good that they felt it warranted a bigger jump in version number... hehe
i think there is evidence of this with other programs... where a version was a developed, but an even better version was developed after that... but without enough time to release the previous version. something like that? who knows?

picasa deos look very good... with some neat little features... like the hello... similar to email though isn;t it? can't be sure.
very tidy looking for a windows app...
AppleMatt said:Yeah good point for everyone, the 4.01 update breaks a few symbolic links so make sure you repair permissions after installing
AppleMatt
Shouldn't Apple make permission repair part of the installation process? It seems like you almost always have to do it afterwards - why not make it happen automatically? Optimizing...repairing...done. Or optimizing...rebooting...repairing...done.
