Working with iPhoto

Once you have begun photographing your characters you can easily import those photos into iPhoto. Simply connect your digital camera to your computer using the supplied connecting cable for your camera. iPhoto will automatically open and ask if you would like to import photos. Tell it that you would like that very much. Then follow the instruction in this video clip to create a photo album just for your graphic novel pictures.

Be sure to take many more photos than you think you will need. Remember, it's only hard-drive space, right? Take both close-up photos of expressive faces, and wider shots showing some scenery and multiple characters.

In the comments section of this post, discuss your experiences with using the digital camera and putting your pictures into iPhoto. What challenges did you face? How did you resolve any issues that came up?
