I’m almost an Apple fanboy. I think that they make fantastic computers and that their software is intuitive to use. They’ve revolutionised the way we use technology at least three times and their software, well, it just works.

Even with new input devices, in addition to mice and trackpads, there is still a place for keyboard shortcuts. In this tutorial, I will show you the various keyboard key combinations that perform particular tasks when starting up your Mac.

Photography, for me, began with a secondhand Zenit camera and a roll of stuff called film that had to be developed before I could see the image I’d just framed. Fast-forward to recent history and now photographs are captured digitally and viewed instantaneously.
Perhaps it’s the ease with which I can rattle off hundreds, if not thousands, of photos that means I rarely look at them after I’ve taken them. In this tutorial I will show you how to produce a custom book highlighting the best of your photography.
If you’re anything like me then maintaining a Christmas card list is a chore, not a pleasure, that rears its ugly head every December … and I never learn from it. Until now.
