iPhoto is a tool that one really loves or hates. I do have mixed feelings about the app. For the novice, it is a very handy and easy to use tool without investing all that money for Photoshop. If you want to do some quick photo editing and cropping, I recommend this product. If you are really, really serious about photo editing, then, there are the alternatives. Overall, great product for the novice if you want a quickie.
