I’ve not had my new mac very long and it’s very different to the ones I trained on when doing my journalism course. I remember a lot of how the interface is set up and where you have to go to do certain actions, and even the ancient macs we have at work follow the rule that closing the programme window itself doesn’t mean you have exited the programme.

However, I think I have finally managed to work out how to copy photos from my photo library into a separate file and edit them without the changes I make being applied in the original folder to the original file. But it was rather annoying that this didn’t happen automatically. And when I open each file to edit it, iPhoto opens it as a new “event”. When you download images off your camera, it groups them by date taken, which is very useful, but calling the copied image a whole new event, really isn’t. But, it’s early days yet and I’m still quite taken with it.
