Instead, you have to go through the Information pane.\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>\r\nContextual menus appear on mouse-up rather than mouse-down.\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>\r\nThe preferences window is modal, but doesn&rsquo;t look like it. (Normally, modal windows, like the iTunes preferences, have OK and Cancel buttons. The iPhoto preferences look like the Mail preferences but don&rsquo;t behave like them.)\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>\r\nOften, in the middle of editing a photo, I use the Duplicate command to make a backup. iPhoto switches to an &ldquo;Importing Photos&rdquo; source, then takes me back to the library. There&rsquo;s no way to get back to the edit view where I was; that context is lost. I think duplicating should happen in the background, like in the Finder.\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>\r\nI use the Undo command all the time when cropping. True, iPhoto fades out the cropped-out portions of the image, but it&rsquo;s not until I click the Crop button that I see exactly what the image will look like. Often, it&rsquo;s not quite right and so I Undo. But then iPhoto takes me back to the original image, sans cropping rectangle. All I wanted was make a small adjustment to the crop, but it makes me start over.\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I didn&rsquo;t like early versions of iPhoto at all, but iPhoto 5, was, I think a big improvement.
