    Does anybody else have lag in iPhoto, like when you customize a picture, and edit it using the side tools? For some reason, well I want to lower or decrease any of the settings, such as saturation or contrast, it takes a couple of seconds for the changes to occur.

    iPhoto IS laggy. I've only had brief experience with it, but most of my friends have Macbooks and have the same complaint.

    Although, that does sound a bit slow, with your processor and memory.

    What size pictures are you editing?

    I just edit pictures I take from the built in camera in the Macbook.

    Hmm, that sounds weird. I just tried editing a large photo taken from a 8 MP camera, and I edited saturation, contrast, etc. and the effect was almost instant. And I only have 1 GB of RAM.

    Sometimes the MacBook gets "overworked" though. Try restarting the MacBook and see if you see any improvement.
