Customer Review: I found the manual to be very helpful and it answered some
questions for me that I had about iMovie that I hadn't found
anywhere else. I didn't like the answers, but it solved a long
ongoing problem I have had with using iMovie 08. The manual is easy
to read and follow, for... more info
Customer Review: Good illustrations but not that easy for a DVD STudio Pro 'Dummy'. I found that I had to go to the Apple DVD Studio Pro manual from the net to work out what to do. Then, after I had a basic understanding, and a few hours of fiddling on the computer,this book came to life for me and was very useful.... more info
Customer Review: Text laid out in dual columns per page with plentiful pictures making concepts easy to understand and very readable. I used this book to create a DVD of my daughter's wedding, and it led me through the process each step of the way. A very good "how-to" guide that contains plenty of tips and the... more info
Customer Review: After several trips to car shows with my husband, I had lots of beautiful photos sitting in iPhoto ready to print.

The quality of the book also leaves something to be desired. It is all in black and white--which generally is not a problem,... more info
Customer Review: This is a vast improvement over previous versions. I can't wait to get six when it comes out. I volunteer at a local TV studio and we use iMovie to edit all of our productions. We are just learning Final Cut Pro, but iMovie is just as good.
Customer Review: This is a PeachPit Press "Visual QuickPro Guide"--similar to their "Visual QuickStart" training book series, but aimed at more experienced users. The series uses a task-based training approach, teaching skills through short step-by-step exercises. This approach has some major drawbacks for me,... more info
Customer Review: I was fortunate to attend Macworld in July 2004 in Boston and attend the Mac User conference. Dave Pogue was the seminar leader for the iMovie 4 module. I previously reviewed Pogue's iMovie 2: The Missing Manual. Now, I had the opportunity to see David Pogue in action and to further learn his... more info
Customer Review: The book follows in the footsteps of the other QuickStart books. Fireworks is a nice graphics drawing package. This functionality lends itself easily to a QuickStart approach. The inherent visual nature of Fireworks means that every page can have graphics demonstrating some aspect. (Don't try this... more info
