Nowa wersja pakietu iLife dla 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.

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.

Apple today also updated its iWork for iOS apps to take advantage of the
stunning Retina display of iPad and to offer 3D charts so you can create and
view impressive 3D bar, line, area and pie charts. Pages now includes
support for landscape orientation on iPhone and iPod touch, and Keynote
gains new builds and transitions including Iris, Shimmer, Wipe, Flame, Swing
and Fade Through Color.
