iPhoto 5.0.3 Released

Nice.

But what I really, really wish they would make is a revision that lets multiple users share and modify one central photo library.

:(
 
Sorry in advance for the newbie question. My G5 came with iPhoto 4.0.3. I assume I have to pay Apple for iLife to upgrade? Since I already have Tiger 10.4.2, iTunes 4.9 and Quicktime Pro 7.0.1, what do I really get for upgrading to iLife '05? It it really iDVD, iMovie, and GarageBand + iPhoto?

TIA

Al
 
Was that color shifting bug an issue only with Tiger and iPhoto 5.x? What about Tiger and iPhoto 4.x, or any previous version?

Does any version of iPhoto come with Tiger, or do you have to buy iLife '05 (or '04)?

I don't understand; Tiger came out after iLife '05. How do you have Tiger and an older version of iLife?

Because iLife '05 isn't bundled with the OS.

As noted in the patch details in the first post, only Tiger + iLife '05 have problems.

New computers come with the OS and iLife, but you have to pay for future editions. (I'm still on Panther and iLife '04 until I get my act together.)

But new computers come bundled with iLife.

Normally I assume that anybody with Tiger + iLife '04 upgraded the OS on their own, but the questioner claims to be a newbie. I'm not sure how many newbies have the desire and know-how to upgrade their OS, while being unaware that iLife has nothing to do with the OS.

:confused:

Does this mean:

A) The issue with the color shift only OCCURRED when using Tiger + iLife '05? (So, this update fixes it, period.)

Or does it mean,

B) This update only FIXES the color shift issue when using Tiger + iLife '05? (So people using Panther are forever screwed with iPhoto 5.)

I have heard of people having the problem when using PANTHER + iLife '05. If that is the case, it's possible that this iPhoto upgade does NOT solve their problem.
 
Okay, let me try that again. As noted in the patch details in the first post AND elsewhere in the forum (including a litany of negative posts in the 10.4.2 patch thread), the problem was isolated to the combination of Tiger + iLife '05.

Hmmm. Ok. I am not doubting you, it's just that I thought I have seen reports of people using iPhoto 5 on Panther, and having the color-shift problem there as well.

MacInTouch and MacFixIt had some reports along those lines I believe. I could be wrong ... just trying to err on the side of conservatism here.

Search for "Panther" on this page ...

Color fixed but still crashes

I went back to edit some of the photos I'd been collecting over the past month or two that I couldn't edit because of the color shift problem. The color shift problem seems to be gone, but iPhoto crashed on me several times after editing the photos and clicking "Done" when the dialogue box says "Saving Changes." I probably worked on about 30 or 40 pictures and it crashed 5 or 6 times.

Oh well, at least I can use it for something other than just storing my photos now. I'm happy enough.

'Zactly what I was thinking. Add this to the other news that iPod sales are slowing (not) and Apple has just been downright pathetic! :rolleyes:
 
Still has some serious issues. I cropped a photo, converted to B/W, then jacked up the sharpness. The sharpness refuses to take. I tried again and again. It always goes back. So much for a working iPhoto. Its only been...oh...2.5 months.

well he could have bought a Rev A G5 that shipped with panther and iLife 04, then upgraded to Tiger (does not come with iLife if you buy the system dvd only) and thats why he has iLife 04 on tiger.

so to answer his question... yes apple expects you to pay 79 dollars to upgrade to '05 but you can just ebay it, theyre pretty cheap, or just borrow it, its not like apple cares about iLife registration...


now here's my take on iPhoto 503:

after a restart, opens after 1 bounce and pictures come out after 5seconds, opposed to 5 bounces and 25 seconds for 502

auto color correction is gone, thank you, now about the original filenames and size reduction, and library management, and what about a little quicktime interface inside iphoto, this cant be tooooooo hard right?

I mean picassa, the world's biggest and best iPhoto immitation has a video player built in, and thats just cool. YES they copied iPhoto in every aspect, but they have done a pretty good job in that, and have improved it in some ways over iphoto. but I still prefer iPhoto's ease of use and that it's ours.

overall Awesome update, have to test some other bugs I was getting... but so far so good. good job iphoto team!

An excellent patch to match 10.4.2, I opened iPhoto and one bounce it was there even my mass amount of photos appeared within a couple of seconds, I'm very impressed.

My wife and I have done this ever since I got my new iBook last year. We have separate user accounts and the iPhoto account is in Users/Shared/

There was a thread about this recently when someone was explaining how to set this up using Unix. I didn't do anything in Unix, I just used finder and iPhoto.


Back on topic: downloading the update now. Looking forward to speed increases and getting rid of the red shift editing bug.

Yeah, we do this too. Only catch is that if one person leaves the app open, the other person can't open it (library locked).
 
Anyone know if this supports Fuji's raw format? I've got an F700 and iPhoto refuses to recognize the raw shots...
 
Not being able to change file names I think I understand the reasoning behind and the weird date based folder system. I kinda figured that it was to do with avoiding newbies accidentally renaming images the same thing and then discovering that they'd lost half their images. Also, if you're using iPhoto for all your image needs :rolleyes: , you don't need to see the underlying file names. And with Spotlight able to find the iPhoto title in other apps 'Open' dialogues, it's much less of an issue.

As for resizing, why? You want to keep your 'shoeboxed' images as perfect as possible with all the detail you can. Why offer a resize in there? The only time you need to resize them is when you want to use them in another application or mail them to someone at which point you Export, choose the size, rename them to the iPhoto title and you're set.
