I have an old Mac G5 desktop computer that uses 10.3.9 Tiger. My iPhoto software came from my iLife '06 software. I'd like to upgrade the iPhoto software to at least be able to organize photos into "events."
I am an artist and my only use for this old Mac is in my studio for holding photos for reference. If you know how I can improve my iPhoto program, please help!
Many thanks

10.3.9 is Panther, not Tiger. If you have Tiger, which is 10.4, you can upgrade to iLife '08. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1010
Optionally, if your computer meets the system requirements for Leopard 10.5 (here: http://support.apple.com/kb/sp517) you can upgrade OSX and then install iLife '09.
Forgive me, it's Panther that is the name of the operating sytem. Got my big cats mixed up.
Is there still some way to upgrage my iPhoto? I don't want to spend any more money on this old dinosaur than I have to.
How far up can I/should I upgrade my system to get "events" as an organizing feature in iPhoto?
Thanks for any help!
Actually Events is just another name for Rolls. The both server the same purpose, organize photos by imports or by date. iPhoto 8 (09) was the first to have Events. There will be many feature enhancements when upgrading to iPhoto 8. But you can use Rolls just the same as Events.
The only thing to remember is when using Rolls remane them to something other than Roll XX so that when you do upgrade to iPhoto and Events the standard Roll names, i.e. Roll 12, don't end up converted to "Unnamed Event". If you name the rolls with some informative title and even a date that will be carried over to the Event title when you do upgrade.
Thanks, I'll try this!!
