iPhoto has always been the go-to product from Apple for organizing and presenting your photos.  Now, iPhoto has made album creation even easier with the new Faces and Spaces categories.

Faces allows iPhoto to recognize a face and can group that person in one folder.  For instance, if you want to make a slideshow of just Grandma, you can select Grandma’s face, and then iPhoto does the rest with grouping all of Granny’s photos for you in a folder.  This is possible with the new iPhone or GPS-ready cameras.  If you have older phones or cameras, you can write in the photo that it’s Granny, and then iPhoto has visual recognition to group the same precious Grandma in the same category.

Similarly, Spaces from iPhoto can group cities to the same folder.  If you want to group your Mexico pics from 2001 and other years, it will take them all and put them in one folder.  This is powered by iPhoto’s GPS ability.

These functions alone make iPhoto ‘09 a great tech product to buy.  It has great tech support via Apple’s help site and makes film strips and shows a snap to create.
