I just bought MMS and have a macbook air.  I am just learning how to use this software, and am looking for the easiest way to import my photos to the scrapbook pages from my iPhoto library.  anyone have a quick tip? 

thanks so much!

have both iPhoto and MMS open (do a split screen)...just drag & drop your selected photo from iPhoto into the 'box' you want to the photo to go into in MMS.  the 'box' will turn green (if i recall correctly) to signify that the photo will drop into there.  it will auto-size your photo into the selected 'box'

I also have a Mac (LOVE IT).  I actually keep all my photos I plan to use in a folder on my desktop.  I drag and drop them from iphoto into that folder and then I only need to access the one file every time.

I, too, open two windows on my Mac and drag and drop.  You don't have to have a photo box on the MMS page to drop into, you can just drop photos willy nilly onto the pages.  Actually, that is how I organize my work.   I will drag and drop several pages worth of photos onto blank pages in MMS to plan out how I want my next set of photos to go.  Then later I come back and arrange the photos the way I want, add backgrounds, text, etc.

Can you do the same thing with embellishments?
