Faultless.
Written by CS from Newton Aycliffe
26-Aug-2009
Having had my iMac since January this year, I did have some fear that moving from a Windows based PC would be problematic. This has not been the case.
iLife '09 has been simple to pick up so much so, I could never imagine getting a Windows based PC again.
The iPhoto and iMovie applications are worth the upgrade money alone!33 of 40 people found this useful

Comming from PC to iMac
Written by KC from Glumsø
22-Apr-2009
What an experience to just buy a computer (20" iMac) to a fair price and find that it has what it takes to do what we want for private use right out of the box.
The pro-applications I use for work on a PC mostly run on the Mac as well so I haven't looked at problems this far.64 of 82 people found this useful

I've just upgraded on a G5 1.9Ghz with 512Mb RAM and it works OK... but I have also just ordered a RAM upgrade in order to speed it up.
would definitely recommend.62 of 81 people found this useful

One of the reasons why you should just get a Mac and not a PC.

Apple's best software package ever
Written by TS from Tadley
16-Mar-2009
I use this on a 1.83ghz mac mini and it hasn't put a foot wrong yet. I'm able to edit movies with iMovie with ease and now with almost unlimited features; iPhoto's new features are exactly what you need to organize your photos. GarageBand now has the perfect software amp set for guitars. iWeb is just so easy to use. iDVD still amazing. This is a package that has been thought through and perfected. I'm lucky that i bought my mac mini after January 6th so i got my iLife 09 disc for £7.94. But having used it i would happily pay way more than £79. Easy buy.

Unlocking the ideas
Written by BR from Plymouth
20-Feb-2009
iLife delivers with excellent added functionality in iPhoto, Garage Band and iMovie. It has kept me busy for hours and fired up loads of new ideas. iMovie especially has that ideal mix of ease of use and sophisticated results. I tried Final Cut and just got bogged down, thinking a just can't do it. With this upgrade, I feel I can and I do and so can the kids !
Excellent product and well worth the money.50 of 55 people found this useful

imovie 09 is awesome - phew!
Written by IL from Leeds

I, probably like you was concerned after imovie 08. Though I didn't winge about it, I bought Final Cut and used that instead.
Thank heavens for imovie 09. IMO it blows both out of the water. The features are fantastic! I love being able to add comments so I can see which part of the film I'm editing, no more random scrolling and guesswork.
The interface can be tweeked too. So if like me you've been using Final Cut, you can swap the timeline to the bottom, and the events to the top left.
AVCHD works great too. But, as with AVCHD it still needs to import the files in apple intermediate codec (by my reckoning 40GB per hour maybe?).
I also love the face recognition in iphoto.
Amazing package - worth every penny.14 of 17 people found this useful

Very impressive, indeed exciting
Written by PK from Ashtead
05-Feb-2009
iLife '08's major advance was the very nice Final Cut-like editing capability in iMovie. For me, the most impressive enhancements for iLife '09 are with iPhoto. The face recognition feature proved to be a very effective way of grouping images, and is a step on a very exciting journey from searching databases with tags or keywords, to image-based search of multi-media databases. It worked very well for me, with only a small amount of training needed to pull out all the photos of a given person in my library.
The Places feature also works well. The only problem here is that I will need to add in locations for most of the photos I already have. I probably wont have the time to do that, but all new images are going in with locations.
One warning - you will need one of the more up to date machines to benefit, as iMovie especially is very demanding of processing power and memory.171 of 192 people found this useful

It just gets better and better

If you were happy with 08 then 09 will continue to please !! Faces and Places are just amazing. Faces has become a family spectacle. Even visitors are amazed at the facial recognition technology and the speed of the product.
Well done Apple.172 of 197 people found this useful

Awesome!
Written by JT from WORECSTERSHIRE

I love the new iLife, it is so easy and user friendly. The 'Places' and 'Faces' function in iPhoto is amazing and so easy to setup and do.
iMovie is also a huge amount of fun!!
But the gem for me has to be in Garage Band, the Tutorial of learning to play either the Guitar or Piano is fantatic! I mean, i'm no huge Sting fan, but to have the man teach you himself how to play Roxanne is great!!
I hope that Apple add more artists to the tutorials, because its so easy and i believe worth the money.37 of 42 people found this useful
