About the Creative Team
Joseph Schorr (co-author, first two editions), a former Macworld contributing editor, began collaborating with David Pogue in 1982—on musical comedies at Yale. Years later, they co-authored six editions of Macworld Mac Secrets. Now that Joe is a product manager at Apple, he’s technically not supposed to work on books like this. Still, many chapters of this book are based on his original prose.
Rose Cassano (cover illustration) has worked as an independent designer and illustrator for 20 years. Assignments have spanned everything from the nonprofit sector to corporate clientele. She lives in beautiful southern Oregon, grateful for the miracles of modern technology that make living and working there a reality. Email: cassano@cdsnet.net. Web: www.rosecassano.com.
Dennis Cohen (technical reviewer, previous editions) has served as the technical reviewer for many bestselling Mac books, including several editions of Macworld Mac Secrets and most Missing Manual titles. He is the author or co-author of FileMaker Pro 7 Bible, Mac Digital Photography, and numerous other books. Email: drcohen@mac.com.
Teresa Noelle Roberts (copy editor) is a freelance copy editor and proofreader, as well as a published fiction writer and poet. When she can tear herself away from the computer, she may be found gardening, belly dancing, or enjoying the beautiful beaches of New England.
Phil Simpson (design and layout) works out of his office in Southbury, Connecticut, where he has had his graphic design business since 1982. He is experienced in many facets of graphic design, including corporate identity, publication design, and corporate and medical communications. Email: pmsimpson@earthlink.net.
Lesa Snider (production/technical editor and graphics goddess) assists David Pogue on many projects. As Chief Evangelist for iStockphoto.com and a veteran writer for international graphics publications, Lesa is on a mission to teach the world how to create beautiful graphics. You can see more of her work at TheGraphicReporter.com, and catch her live at many conferences.
Acknowledgements
In the three years that I’ve been writing articles about iPhoto and speaking at conferences and user group meetings, I’ve received many helpful comments from Mac DevCenter readers and enthusiasts who have attended my talks. For those of you who have shared your passion for digital photography with me, I want you to know that your comments, questions, and support are very much a part of this book.

The Missing Manual series is a joint venture between Pogue Press (the dream team introduced on these pages) and O’Reilly Media (a dream publishing partner). I’m indebted, as always, to Tim O’Reilly, Mark Brokering, Betsy Waliszewski, and the rest of the gang.
I’m also grateful to proofreaders John Cacciatore and Sada Preisch; to Apple’s Greg Scanlon; and to David Rogelberg. Above all, thanks to Jennifer, Kelly, Tia, and baby Jeffrey, who make these books—and everything else—possible.
—David Pogue
The Missing Manual Series
Missing Manuals are witty, superbly written guides to computer products that don’t come with printed manuals (which is just about all of them). Each book features a handcrafted index; cross-references to specific page numbers (not just “see Chapter 14“); and RepKover, a detached-spine binding that lets the book lie perfectly flat without the assistance of weights or cinder blocks.
