Part of the appeal of Apple’s iLife suite of creative applications is its simplicity and elegance. Considering they are free with a new Mac or inexpensive to buy on DVD, these multimedia tools are more than a match for many higher priced commercial alternatives.

The really clever part, and something which Apple is particularly adept at, is incorporating lots of tools and features into software while keeping the interface simple and the learning curve as gentle as possible.

So although you might be familiar with the basics of iMovie, iPhoto, iWeb and GarageBand, there are many tips and techniques that you may not be aware of and that can make your workflow quicker and your finished product more professional.

These range from tool modifier keys to access alternate functions, to seemingly hidden or obscure buttons, menus or commands that could be just what you’ve been wishing for. Discovering all of these little tricks and hidden features by yourself can take some time, but here we’ve gathered them together for you.

If you’ve been using iLife but feeling that there was something missing that would really complete your user experience, it may well be that it’s there, you just haven’t found it yet. Did you know for example that you can embed Google adverts in your iWeb pages, or that GarageBand lets you place clickable web links into a podcast? Read on to find out more. Next >>
