Preparing to Share

No matter what your intended output for your photos, the creation of an album in iPhoto is an important first step. While it's certainly not required, it makes all the effort that follows far simpler and the process more enjoyable. In each part of this lesson, you'll use a different album from among the albums you created in Lesson 3.

No matter what project you're creatingwhether following along with the lessons in this book or working independently on your own projectstake the time to go through your albums several times: Check that the order of images is appropriate; make sure you don't want to add or delete any; and do last-minute tweaks to orientation, framing, image quality, and so on.
