....Yep, I bought my daughter a 17" Macbook Pro but I only get to use the spare G4 iMac for now.

In iPhoto (v.6.06 on this Mac), simply double-click your selected thumbnail image to open in the bigger Edit window, or click the <Edit> icon. Drag cursor, adjust and Crop as needed. Open icon <Adjust> panel and you'll see sliders... Adjust as needed and don't be afraid to experiment. In the latest iPhoto you can copy and paste slider settings onto a different pic. You can hit Command+Z to undo or Revert To Original via top Menu.

You can also view more than one pic in the Edit window and make comparisons. Like most Apple stuff, it's very intuitive and user-friendly. Photoshop is far more powerful but has a steeper learning curve.

HTH  :happy2:

....iPhoto isn't great for handling/editing RAW images (Photoshop is) but check out info here and on Apple's iPhoto Discussions forum:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2297

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/8.0/en/6411.html

Have a rummage around the Apple site and especially their Help documents and How-to vids.
