specific photo.

New in GarageBand '08.
GarageBand '08 and a little inspiration are all you need to make
incredible music, even if you've never played a note. The new
Magic GarageBand turns your desktop into a virtual stage, where
you can choose the band and instruments they play to easily
create amazing songs. Then plug in and jam along. You can even
add a singer to your song with the new Jam Pack: Voices. And
accomplished musicians will appreciate other new features like
multi-take and 24-bit quality.
Magic GarageBand.
Get the creative juices flowing. Bring the band together and let
Magic GarageBand generate a new song. Create a virtual jam
session or use the song project as a starting point to create
your next hit.
Arrangements.
Most songs are arranged in distinct sections: introduction,
verse and chorus. GarageBand brings this kind of structure to
your song. With the different sections clearly defined, you can
rearrange your song at any time.
Multi-take .
* Define a region.
Mark off the section of the song where you want to add your part.
GarageBand repeats that section as you play, so you can lay down
as many takes as you like.
* Save every take.
Every take you perform is recorded and saved. GarageBand displays
that part of your song as a multi-take region.
* Pick your favorite take.
After you've recorded all of your takes, GarageBand makes it easy
to pick the best one. As you play back your multi-take region,
you can switch between takes in real time. Simply select your
favorite and move on.
* Change your mind, change your take.
Even after you've picked a take, GarageBand saves them all. That
way, if you're so inclined, you can select another take days or
weeks later. Visual EQ.
You don't need to be an expert to tweak the sound of your mix in
GarageBand. Using the built-in Visual EQ, you can adjust a
track's equalization simply by dragging the EQ bands until you
get the sound you want.
Automation of tempo effects and instruments.
Record producers use dynamically changing effects to keep a song
sounding fresh and exciting from start to finish. GarageBand
makes it easy to do the same by automating effect changes within
a composition--so you don't have to settle for one constant
setting throughout.
Create websites that are more custom, more complete, more you.
iWeb. Your life: Now playing on the web.
New in iWeb '08.
iWeb makes it easy to create a website that's stunningly
beautiful--and totally you. Start with an Apple-designed theme,
then customize it with your own text, photos, movies, and
podcasts until it's exactly what you want. And switch themes with
a click anytime.
Web widgets.
With iWeb, it's easy to add live content from other
websites--like videos, stock tickers, and news
headlines--directly into your web pages. So you can create pages
that are informative, interesting, or just plain fun.
iWeb makes it easy to incorporate some of Google's most useful
features.
Google s and Google AdSense
iWeb makes it easy to incorporate some of Google's most useful
features. With just a few clicks, you can add a fully interactive
Google to your site. Or you can place Google AdSense ads on
your pages and get Google credits every time a visitor clicks.
My Album pages.
It's so easy to create new photo and movie pages using iWeb that
you'll probably create quite a few. But don't worry about your
site's navigation growing too cluttered as a result. My Albums

of images into beautifully designed, customizable photo pages.
