Q: Why do I have to use iPhoto to add photos to iBook Author?

As a photographer my photos are all in Lightroom and I use Photoshop. I don't own and don't intend to own Aperture and have long since stopped using iPhoto. While I love Apple products and own lots of them, I don't want to have to maintain a separate system just to use iBook Author. I've been wanting some time to play with this for ages and have some ideas for books that I really want to play with but .... photos and video are an issue for me. I don't use iMovie either, I use either Final Cut Pro or Premiere. Please, please tell me there is another way to use media with iBook Author???

Frustrated ....

iBook, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Ibook Author issues

Hey Herbgarden,

Media can be dragged from the Finder or from another application directly into iBooks Author.

You can also add media files (such as images) to a page by dragging them from the Media Browser, the Finder, or another application.
