Chapter 13. Screen Savers, AppleScript, & Automator

You've assembled libraries of digital images, sent heart-touching moments to friends and family via email, published your recent vacation on the Web, authored a QuickTime movie or two, and even boosted the stock price of Canon and Epson single-handedly through your consumption of inkjet printer cartridges. What more could there be?

Plenty. This chapter covers iPhoto's final repertoire of photo stunts, like turning your photos into one of the best screen savers that's ever floated across a computer display, plastering one particularly delicious shot across your desktop, calling upon AppleScript to automate photo- related chores for you, and harnessing iPhoto's partnership with Automator. (This chapter's alternate title: "Miscellaneous iPhoto Stunts That Don't Fit Into Any One Category.")
