Name Faces in iPhoto efficiently
Authored by: Cyndi on Jul 27, '14 01:37:49PM

Sometimes I click away faces I don't want to name but, as others have mentioned, they often come back again. So I use categories. "Expo West attendee" or "ballet student." This is very helpful as well when the individual face (or picture) pops up out of context and I'm trying to figure out where it's from. When I don't have someone's full name I will say something like "Jane XXX School" or "XXX Student." But I like the question mark in the front so all the partial names are grouped together to find more easily later (for those of us with hundreds of individual faces).

Now if someone could just come up with a way to get iPhoto to ID faces as faces. Or at least allow us to click on a face to get a box around it (like you can on Facebook). Huge PITA to have to click on add a face, move and rescale the box, times multiple faces (rescaling being required if it's a group photo and the standard box fits several heads). At this point, I have to add about 50% of my faces as faces (iPhoto doesn't recognize them, and many are direct clear shots, even shots that are near identical to other shots where it sees the faces as faces). Yet it tells me that rolls of sushi, uneven paint jobs on the wall, kneecaps, and random blobs are faces.
