The two, new features in iPhoto ‘09 I was interested in turned out to be uninteresting, for now..
- Places: Only works if the camera has GPS tracking. My Canon 450D and 30D don’t have that. You can put a photo on the map, but you can’t move the pin to the exact location.
- Flickr Uploader: Really, really lame! FlickrExport for iPhoto is much more superior!
I’m wondering with the Faces feature: if I’m splitting up my iPhoto library into years, can I share the Faces information between libraries? Faces is also not really worth it BTW. Nice toy though.
I’m unimpressed with iPhoto ‘09 .. They should have put more work in it. Wasted 79 EUR. I should have waited for the ‘10 version or so.
And you still can’t make a smart album with a filter saying ‘Event IS name here’! Grrr.. ‘Contains’ is not good enough!
