Share Menu
Version by version, iPhoto’s menus are growing. New for iPhoto 5: the Share menu, which Apple used to offload some of the icons that had been crowding the bottom toolbar.
Show in Toolbar
See those icons at the bottom of the main iPhoto window? Some of them are permanently installed and nonnegotiable, like Rotate, Edit, Book, and Slideshow.
The others, though, are optional in iPhoto 5. By choosing their names from the Show in Toolbar submenu, you can make them appear or disappear. (The names bearing checkmarks in the submenu are the ones that currently appear on the toolbar.)
The freedom to eliminate certain icons make a lot of sense. For one thing, some of them may not apply to you. The HomePage icon is useful only if you’re a .Mac subscriber, the Send to iDVD button is helpful if your Mac can burn DVDs, and so on. Furthermore, hiding the less useful icons leaves more room for the ones you do use (and reduces the likelihood that some of the buttons will be hidden behind the >> menu that sprouts whenever the window isn’t wide enough).
Anyway, whatever functions you eliminate from the toolbar aren’t gone for good. They’re still available as commands right in the body of the Share menu.
Print, Email, Desktop, HomePage…
Choosing one of these commands is exactly the same as clicking the corresponding toolbar button below the main iPhoto window. See Chapter 8 for more on printing and ordering prints, Chapter 9 for emailing, .Mac slideshows, and Web pages, Chapter 13 for desktop pictures ...
