<p>MACWORLD EXPO, SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 11, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via<br />
COMTEX/ -- Apple(R) today announced iLife(R) '05, the must-have upgrade to<br />
Apple's award-winning suite of digital lifestyle applications, featuring<br />
major new versions of iPhoto(TM), iMovie(R), iDVD(R) and GarageBand(TM) and<br />
including the latest version of iTunes(R). iLife '05 continues to lead the<br />
industry with the most innovative and comprehensive suite of software for<br />
organizing, editing and sharing digital photos; creating stunning digital<br />
movies and DVDs; and purchasing, managing and creating digital music.</p>
<p>"iLife '05 is far beyond anything available on a PC, and is a must-have<br />
upgrade for every Mac user," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "If you have a<br />
digital camera, digital camcorder or create music, iLife '05 is built for<br />
you."</p>
<p> iPhoto 5 adds advanced editing tools so you can perfect your photos<br />
without ever leaving iPhoto, including controls to set exposure, black and<br />
white points, saturation, tint, temperature and sharpness, while also<br />
showing users a histogram and providing the most intuitive way ever to<br />
straighten photos. iPhoto 5 adds support for uncompressed RAW photos<br />
throughout the entire application so that high-end users can exploit all<br />
the image data their cameras can capture. iPhoto 5 includes a new advanced<br />
slideshow builder which allows users to easily apply effects, transitions<br />
and durations to each individual slide. iPhoto 5 features an entirely new<br />
way to create affordable hardcover and softcover photo books, now starting<br />
as low as $3.99. iPhoto 5 lets users choose from stunning new book layouts,<br />
all featuring double-sided printing, and easily place and rearrange their<br />
photos until perfect, then order their book online right from within iPhoto<br />
5. With iPhoto 5, Apple is also cutting the price of individual 4x6 prints<br />
in half, from 39 cents to just 19 cents each.</p>
<p> With iMovie, Apple revolutionized movie-making by allowing anyone to<br />
import and edit digital video on their Mac(R). Now iMovie HD leads the<br />
revolution again by allowing users to capture and edit stunning High<br />
Definition Video (HDV) from the new generation of HDV camcorders. iMovie HD<br />
also includes Magic iMovie, the easiest way ever to make a movie. With just<br />
a few clicks, Magic iMovie automatically imports your video into separate<br />
clips, adds titles, transitions and music, all in one step. iMovie HD<br />
imports video from HDV and standard DV camcorders, and from video cameras<br />
that generate MPEG-4 video.</p>
<p> iDVD 5 includes 15 amazing new themes featuring moving drop zones that can<br />
display video clips or photos in motion across DVD menus, just like the<br />
latest Hollywood DVDs. iDVD 5 also features OneStep DVD, which lets users<br />
create DVDs by simply plugging in a DV camcorder and clicking a button.<br />
iDVD 5 now supports all single-sided DVD formats including -R, +R, -RW and<br />
+RW with a compatible Apple SuperDrive(TM).</p>
<p> GarageBand put a complete recording studio on a Mac. GarageBand 2 adds 8-<br />
track recording, so users can record an entire band at once, plus pitch and<br />
timing correction to quickly fix those tracks that don't sound perfect.<br />
GarageBand 2 now displays and edits musical notation in real time for<br />
people who know how to read and write music or want to learn. With Apple's<br />
growing family of GarageBand Jam Packs, including the latest, Jam Pack 4:<br />
Symphony Orchestra, GarageBand users can create professional sounding music<br />
in their favorite genre.</p>
<p> iLife '05 also includes iTunes 4.7.1, the latest version of the world's<br />
best digital music jukebox software with the iTunes Music Store inside.<br />
iTunes provides seamless integration with Apple's complete family of<br />
popular iPods, including the new iPod shuffle. With Apple's legendary ease<br />
of use, pioneering features such as iMix playlist sharing, seamless<br />
integration with iPod and groundbreaking personal use rights, the iTunes<br />
Music Store is the best way for Mac and PC users to legally discover,<br />
purchase and download music online.</p>
