The MacMost Newsletter: Issue #603
July 23, 2020
Ever since I started making courses, an iPhone Photography course has been on my to-do list. Now it is finally here! I enlisted my friend and long-time MacMost collaborator Jay Shaffer to teach it.

This is a comprehensive course with more than 40 lessons and 5 hours of video tutorials. It will teach you how to use your iPhone with iOS 13 or newer to take better photos. It not only looks at the Camera app's controls and settings, but also goes into how to make better photos with photography techniques everyone can use. You can see the full table of contents and preview some of the video lessons here. This course is for iPhones with iOS 13.

Here is a special coupon that will get you 40% off the price of the course, from now until July 31. So in the U.S. that would be $23.97 instead of $39.95. Click on this link or use the code snapshot. Make sure the coupon code is applied before checking out.

As with all MacMost courses, you can start at the beginning and watch each lesson, or skip around. You have as long as you want to take the course and can always go back to review it later on.

You can go into Safari, Preferences to switch which search engine is used by the address field. But a quicker way to do it is to simply press the spacebar when the search field is completely empty. This brings up a list of the search engines that you can arrow-down to and press Return to select. This is very useful if you need to switch between search engines often.
I'm often asked about the software and gadgets I use to produce the MacMost videos and in my work as a developer. So I've compiled a list of the products I use and recommend. Check it out. -- Gary
