Summary: iLife products even better
Comment: I've been a Mac owner and developer since 1985 and have experienced a lot of Apple software in those years. I've used the iLife suite for several years and iLife '08 is the best yet. Just about everything you could want and they're easy to learn and use.

Summary: making a good-looking photo album a breeze
Comment: I purchased iLife '08 and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to compose a photo album that allows you to drop your photos into previously arranged pages, as well as add copy (picture captions and commentary) to some of the pages. The results are truly professional. The software enables the user to select a background for the photos on a given page, as well as the number of pictures you want to appear on the pages. Printing fees for the finished album are reasonable. Send electronically your completed design to Apple, which will ship you a great-looking version of your photo album within a matter of days. You will be pleased to show the results (you can order more than one copy) to friends and relatives. Calendars and greeting cards also can be produced with the iLife software.

Summary: APPLE iLIFE 08 is AWESOME!
Comment: I Purchashed through Amazon and got a Great price.

I had heard alot about the new features in iPHOTO, and when I saw how many new adjustments were added for photo editing, I knew I had to buy iLIFE 08.

I am quite happy with it. I used to shoot mainly JPEG photos, but now I am shooting RAW format, and iLIFE is wonderful for editing those as well as other formats.

Very user friendly, everything that comes with iLIFE is improved to the MAX.

Any Mac owner who doesn't have iLIFE 08 SHOULD REALLY purchase this version. I run OS 10.4.11 and it runs smoooooth. Very happy with this purchase.

Summary: A mixed bag - but overall good
Comment: iPhoto - Fabulous upgrade - the best and easiest way to manage and work with photos.
iMovie - Truly a disappointment. It could have been so much better, but bugs and terrible export quality from DV ruined the product.
iWeb - Not much of an upgrade, but welcome nonetheless.
iDVD - Worked fast and well when needed. Burns so quickly that it saved my skin on a couple occasions so overall very happy.
GarageBand - Minor upgrades, I don't really use it expect for podcasts so I don't notice much at all.

Overall, there is some good (iPhoto, iDVD) and some bad (iMovie), which overall means its a 4-star rating to upgrade.

Summary: BEWARE !! the iDVD Program may not work
Comment: This iLife 08 application is probably great if you're running Leopard..... which I am not..... I have Tiger 10.4.11 ..... i purchased my new iMac desktop in October 07' and it came with Tiger and iLife 08 programs previously installed at the Apple factory. I recently went to use my iDVD program and it will simply not work at all..... Apple's Tech Reps have tried and tried to help me over the phone but nothing will make it work on my new computer.... I have spent hours and hours on this problem and finally one of the Apple Tech Reps admitted to me that iDVD 08 works best with the Leopard platform which it was basically designed for..... I have now ordered a new iLife 06 program for $79 plus tax, which they assure me will work fine on my 2007 computer..... If this is what it takes to get an iDVD program to work, then i think that I should not have to pay for the iLife application twice..... but I had to..... Apple has not heard the last from me about this issue..... we'll see....
