Did Apple plan an iPhoto 3 but change to 4? Do a search in help viewer and you will find this:

Probably some typos more than anything...

I believe iPhoto 3 is iPhoto '04.

I know "Image Capture" can do this...but can iPhoto '04? If so, how?

It's rather like the former, Mozilla/Netscape 4 ---> 6 transition (no Netscape 5): they just skipped a version number for convenience, and to keep their browser up to date with the other, most important one (Internet Explorer 6).

Winamp just came out w/ Winamp5....skipped 4.

I really hate it when software developers do that. Gah. Version numbers are there for a practical reason. They used to be anyway until Microsoft, Adobe, Apple ad infinitum screwed that scheme up.

Why don't the just friggin' start at version 7!!!

(oh they did that with Mac OS X )

This is not correct. There was a Netscape 5 in development. It was based off the old legacy 4.x code. However, it was abandoned in favor of their new open source Mozilla project which was the basis of Netscape 6/7.

Apple skipped an OS version way back in the day, too right? I think there was no System 3 or 4, I forget which.
Version numbers are just arbitrary, anyway. There are some conventions that most companies follow, but the numbers themselves mean nothing.

[koffinkanser]

actually what's important here is not the number, but the fact that some of the features planned were cut from the final release...

Can somebody please confirm this is NOT possible with iPhoto '04?

Thx.
