Photos for Mac OS

Photos, which has replaced iPhoto, is a program which allows you to store and organise your image library. You also use the Edit function to enhance your pictures.

Garage Band

Garage Band enables you to create original music with, in my case anyway, little or no musical skill! It is also useful to record narration.

iMovie

Se while iMovie is primarily for editing movie footage it can also be used to assemble digital stories by combining your narration with selected images and enhancing with special effects.
