You can actually change the lighting of the scene—retroactively! Until recently, most people used a program like Camera Raw which comes with Photoshop and Photoshop Elements , Lightroom, or Aperture to do this kind of editing.
For the full scoop, see Chapter 5. Not every camera offers an option to save your photos as Raw files. And among those that do, not all are iPhoto compatible. Why are only some cameras compatible? Because Raw is a concept, not a file format. Each camera company stores its photo data in a different way, so in fact, there are dozens of different file formats in the Raw world.
These are no longer jittery, silent affairs the size of a Wheat Thin; modern cameras capture full-blown, frames-per-second, fill-your-screen movies—even high-definition movies. Fortunately, iPhoto can import and organize them. The program recognizes. In fact, it can import any format that QuickTime Player the program on your Mac that actually plays these movies recognizes, which is a very long list indeed.
You can even play them without leaving iPhoto, as Figure shows. Movies from Your Camera tells you how. Of course, iPhoto also lets you load pictures that have been saved in a number of other file formats, too—including a few unusual ones.
Most digital cameras capture photos in a graphics file format called JPEG. GIF is the most common format used for non-photographic images on web pages. The borders, backgrounds, and logos you typically encounter on websites are usually GIF files—as well as 98 percent of those blinking, flashing banner ads that drive you insane.

Double-click another one to magnify it and return to the inspection process. Press the and keys on your keyboard to browse back and forth through your photos, or use the new filmstrip at the bottom of the iPhoto window.

Most people slog through life, eyes to the road, without ever knowing the answer. After all, you can preview, open, edit, rotate, copy, export, and print all your photos right in iPhoto, without actually opening a folder or double-clicking a single JPEG file. As you now know, when you import pictures into iPhoto, the program generally makes copies of them, leaving your original files untouched.
But you get the point. In old versions of iPhoto, it was a folder. In Mac OS X, packages or bundles are folders that behave like single files. For example, every properly written Mac OS X program looks like a single, double-clickable application icon. Double-click the Pictures folder. See the iPhoto Library icon? Control-click it or right-click it. From the shortcut menu, choose Show Package Contents.

Chapter 13 offers much more on this important file-management topic. It turns out that iPhoto meticulously arranges your photos within these numbered folders according to the creation dates of the originals, as explained in Figure Albums, which are like folders for organizing photos, are described in Chapter 2.
Details on sharing are in Chapter 8. With iPhoto '11 it's easy to organize and manage the thousands maybe tens of thousands of photos on your Mac by Faces, Places, and Events.
