Dosyć dużą część dzisiejszej prezentacji Apple zajął pokaz możliwości nowych wersji programów z pakietu iLife - iMovie i GarageBand, a także premierowej wersji iPhoto, niedostępnej wcześniej w wersji na system iOS.
Uaktualniona wersja GarageBand posiada takie cechy jak: inteligentne struny, edytor linii melodycznych, a także wsparcie dla iCloud. Bardzo interesującą funkcją nowego GargeBand jest Jam Session, które umożliwia trzem użytkownikom iPada wspólne nagrywanie na żywo.
Najciekawszą z kolei funkcją odświeżonego iMovie jest możliwość tworzenia tzw. storyboardów i dodanie nowych możliwości edycyjnych.
Największą jednak nowością jest wydanie iPhoto w wersji na iOS, które dotychczas było udostępnione jedynie użytkownikom OS X. W ten sposób na tablecie Apple jest już dostępny praktycznie cały pakiet iLife.
iPhoto w wersji na iPada będzie oferować szeroką gamę funkcji służących do edycji zdjęć, w tym: automatyczną ich poprawę, usuwanie efektu czerwonych oczu, rozjaśnianie, wyostrzanie, wygładzanie i przyciemnianie. Dostaniemy także pełną kontrolę nad kolorem, ekspozycją i kontrastem zdjęć oraz cały wachlarz filtrów i efektów. Nowe iPhoto będzie będzie także zawierać funkcję Photo Journals, dzięki której z naszych zdjęć automatycznie utworzony zostanie swego rodzaju kolaż, z możliwością dodania do niego informacji o dacie, pogodzie czy miejscu wykonania zdjęć. Program obsłuży zdjęcia do 19 Megapikseli.
Wszystkie programy mają być dostępne do pobrania z wirtualnych półek AppStore już dzisiaj, w cenie 3,99€ za każdy z nich. Do ściągnięcia iPhoto jest wymagany iOS w wersji 5.1.
| Informacja prasowa: Apple Completes iLife for iOS With Introduction of iPhoto & Major Updates to iMovie & GarageBand SAN FRANCISCO-March 7, 2012-Apple today introduced iPhoto for iPad and iPhone and major updates to iMovie and GarageBand, completing its suite of iLife apps for iOS. iPhoto includes breakthrough Multi-Touch features so you can use simple gestures to sort through hundreds of photos and find your best shots, enhance and retouch your images using fingertip brushes and share stunning photo journals with iCloud. iMovie now gives you the ability to create amazing Hollywood-style trailers as you record HD video on your iPad and iPhone. GarageBand introduces Jam Session, an innovative and fun feature that allows a group of friends to wirelessly connect their iOS devices to play instruments and record live music together. Each app takes full advantage of the stunning Retina display on the new iPad for incredibly sharp and realistic images and video. The new iPad also features a 5 megapixel iSight camera so you can record, edit and watch 1080p HD video all on the device. "With the introduction of iPhoto, we've brought the entire suite of iLife apps to iOS and users are going to love it," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. "Whether brushing an effect onto a photo, shooting a movie trailer or jamming with friends to record a song, iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand let you make amazing creations on iPad and iPhone." iPhoto, Apple's popular photography app, has been completely reimagined for iOS to take full advantage of the Retina display and intuitive Multi-Touch gestures on iPad and iPhone. Simple gestures can be used to select and compare photos side by side and flag your best shots. iPhoto gives you full control over colour, exposure and contrast, and you simply touch the parts of the image you want to change. You can enhance pictures by adding beautiful Apple-designed effects with just a tap, or apply adjustments exactly where you want them with fingertip brushes. In addition to posting photos to Facebook, Flickr and Twitter, you can beam photos between your iPhone and iPad; stream photos and slideshows to your Apple TV with AirPlay; and use iCloud to publish photo journals to the web and share your stories with friends and family in a whole new way. iMovie now allows you to turn the HD video on your iPad and iPhone into beautiful Hollywood-style trailers, even as you're recording. The new Theater view lets you preview and choose from nine templates in a range of genres including Fairy Tale, Superhero and Romance. Trailers feature gorgeous, customisable graphics with soundtracks written by legendary composers such as Academy Award-winner Hans Zimmer and performed by world class musicians like the London Symphony Orchestra. You can also share your movie trailers to YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook, and use AirPlay to stream them to Apple TV in high definition resolutions up to 1080p. With the new Jam Session feature in GarageBand, you can invite up to three of your friends to get together and wirelessly connect your iOS devices to play and record as a group. Jam Session automatically synchronises the tempo, key and chords of your Touch Instruments so everyone sounds great. After jamming, everyone's tracks are automatically collected on your iOS device for you to edit and mix. GarageBand also introduces Smart Strings, a new Touch Instrument that allows you to play an entire string orchestra with just one finger, and the new Note Editor allows you to fine tune a Touch Instrument recording instead of replaying it from scratch. Integration with iCloud keeps your GarageBand songs up to date across your iOS devices, and you can share your finished songs directly to Facebook, YouTube and SoundCloud.
