iLife '09 was officially released yesterday and people are getting their first experiences with Apple's latest updates to iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband. Apple has detailed the biggest changes in iLife '09 in a series of Guided Tours:
- Mixed reactions about iPhoto's new facial recognition feature with some that are having better results than others. - Apple's iPhoto facial recognition does not officially support pets such as cats and dogs, but Roberto Baldwin managed to get iPhoto to recognize and tag his cats. The results don't seem consistent, however, as at least one of our own forum members was unsuccessful at the same task. - Macworld and Beau Colburn both have posted example videos of iMovie's new video stabilization feature.

- iMovie HD 6 has been removed from Apple's site, though a direct download [link] is still accessible for now.
