With today’s limit set at terabytes, you could literary store millions of photos.
Our problem now is not choosing what to shoot, but how to organize the photos afterward.
Especially if you have to do it manually.
This feature is called Faces.
The first step to enable Faces is to choose a picture with a person in it.
Then go for the “Name” icon located on the bottom left of iPhoto’s window.
The chosen picture will be enlarged to fill the window.
tap the “Add Missing Face” button that replaced the “Name” icon.
You’ll see that iPhoto will try its best to locate faces inside the picture.
A square will appear around the faces with the tag “unnamed” below it.
All you have to do is double-smack the tag and replace “unnamed” with that person’s name.
poke the check mark to confirm or the cross to tell iPhoto that the name is incorrect.
However, no machine can replace the human ability to recognize faces.
The Faces feature of iPhoto is amazing indeed, but it still makes stupid mistakes here and there.
Once it thought that my little daughter’s dress was a face.
Almost, but still better than having do it manually one photo at a time.
Click “Faces” on the left pane and choose one of the faces appear on the right.
After choosing a person, the screen will show you all the photos with that person in them.
Choose a close up view and “Confirm Name” from the bottom menu.
All the photos will focus on the possible faces of the chosen person.
Your job is to choose every frame with the correct image to confirm the name to the faces.
There are other cool iPhoto abilities but we’ll save them for another time.
