Essentials 2 for iPhoto is a collection of four tools to help you correct color, add depth of field realistically by blurring backgrounds, add creative borders, and resize your photos to get a larger print. And with its built-in tutorials and easy-to-use interface you'll be up and running in no time.

Make It Better
This module combines the power of several image adjustment dialogs into a single interface. So you can make complex image adjustments without the need to understand complex image controls or color theory. Rather than cryptic sliders like thresholds and radius, you simply answer a series of visual questions to pick the best settings. Yet advanced users still have access to fine-tune controls for color cast removal, brightness, contrast, dynamic range, and saturation. You can even create presets that you can use over and over again.

Blur It
For more control and precision, you can add realistic depth of field and alter plane of focus and selective focus for any digital image after it's photographed.

The controls in Blur It have a tangible feel very similar to using a lens. You can quickly define the sweet spot either in a round shape or in a plane then determine how much and what kind of blur you want to add. This is a great technique for giving your images some depth--or visual separation between a foreground subject and the background.

Frame It
The Frame It tool really puts you into the digital darkroom. Now it's easy to add realistic film and darkroom edge and border effects to your images. But why stop at the darkroom? You can add artistic edges like torn paper, brush strokes, or even realistic frames and mats you would hang on the walls. You can even stack multiple edges and frames to create your own unique look.

Enlarge It
Increase image size without the loss of sharpness and detail that you would normally expect. Enlarge It can resize your images up to 4x and still maintain sharp edges and minute details. That's like taking a 4x6 print and making it as big as a poster.
