iLife Suite

The iLife Suite '05 Suite includes iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, GarageBand, and iTunes.   The suite is preinstalled on Macs running OS X Tiger.   Icons for the programs will appear in the Dock:

iPhoto lets you organize and edit your digital photos.   You can also create photo slideshows.

iMovie is a tool for creating movies using your camcorder.

iDVD allows you to create menus for homemade DVDs.   Design your own or choose from a variety of included themes.

GarageBand is essentially a personal recording studio.   Create computerized tracks, record yourself playing instruments or singing, and mix all of the elements to create musical tracks.

iTunes can copy tracks from CDs to the hard drive for use in movies, menus, and slideshows.
