IPhoto

iPhoto is a discontinued digital photograph manipulation software application developed by Apple Inc. It was included as a part of the iLife suite of digital media management applications up until iLife '13. iPhoto allows users to import, organize, edit, print and share digital photos.

History

iPhoto was announced at Macworld Conference & Expo in 2002 and was marketed as a killer application for the consumer-oriented Macintosh product line. It was bundled with all new Macs and was also available as a free download for existing Mac users. For several years, iPhoto was one of Apple's flagship applications and was highly integrated with other applications in the iLife suite.

Features

iPhoto supports most common image file formats, including JPEG, GIF, and PNG. It also recognizes and preserves EXIF and IPTC metadata tags. iPhoto also includes a number of features for editing photos, including red-eye removal, cropping, and straightening, as well as more advanced features such as retouching and color correction.

Discontinuation

In 2015, Apple announced that iPhoto would be discontinued and replaced by a new application called Photos, which has more advanced editing features and better integration with iCloud.
