Applications :: FACES In IPhoto 09 Meant Able To Learn To Distinguish Faces From One Another?

Jan 10, 2010

Is FACES in iPhoto '09 meant to be able to "learn" to distinguish faces from one another? I've tagged a lot of faces and I thought once iPhoto had a certain number of images of a face it would be able to sort the remaining pictures better. But there are a lot of faces popping up under each thumbnail and they look nothing like the people I'm trying to tag. Was I expecting too much of FACES? Could I be doing something wrong?

Applications :: IPhoto Creates Faces Thumbnails Files And Places In IPhoto Library / Data Folder

Jan 27, 2009

Thought I'd start this thread for people to discover/add any info they have on what iPhoto Faces is doing behind the scenes to help with troubleshooting, since Apple doesn't have any preferences for Faces in the iPhoto GUI. This is only for people who like to understand what is happening behind the scenes. Please note this is not for everyone and anytime you do anything to your iPhoto library you risk corruption and should have a backup copy. What I've noticed so far:

- iPhoto scans the library the first time it opens, and creates 2 faces .db files with the iPhoto Library:

face_blob.db
face.db

- iPhoto creates Faces thumbnails files and places them in the iPhoto Library/Data folder along with the other thumbnails it creates................

Applications :: Iphoto Won't Recognize Any Faces

Feb 3, 2009

I recently bought a new macbook pro (my first mac) and love it. However, after importing about 4700 photos into iphoto, no faces were detected. I tried going into the iphoto package/folder and deleting the files that included the name face in them, which forced iphoto to rescan all the photos again for faces. However, the second time no faces were detected again. Not sure what the problem is. I have searched around here and on google and no one else seems to be having this problem.

Applications :: Mixing Up IPhoto Faces

Feb 14, 2009

I just noticed a MAJOR problem with iPhoto faces. After spending days working on my tags, all of a sudden I've noticed several of them missing and merged with other tags that they really shouldn't be merged with. For instance, all of the tags of my niece now seem to be merged with my nephew's tag (i.e., all of her faces are tagged with his, and her face isn't anywhere to be seen). What's more, all of the tags that I've assigned to my son now seem to be assigned to me. Now, I don't mind fixing some issues, but I've got nearly 3000 pictures of my son! I didn't notice this until I imported new pictures from a camera today.

Applications :: IPhoto - Faces - What If Two People Have The Same Name

Mar 31, 2009

So I have a couple of friends who have the exact same first and last names. Is there a way to differentiate the two people in iPhoto while using their exact names? If not, I guess I'll have to resort to Joe Brown and Joe Brown2.

Applications :: IPhoto Faces Is Broken?

Oct 5, 2009

It was working fine under 10.5. Now with a fresh install of 10.6, it doesn't work. I get the spinning icon saying that it's still searching. I've deleted and start a fresh Library and still the same thing. Looking at the Apple support forums, it's a HUGE issue.

OS X :: IPhoto Saving All Faces And Non Faces

Jul 21, 2010

I just started using Faces in iPhoto - and I'm really happy about it. But I just tried opening iPhoto Library in the Pictures folder to see it's contents and what I see is, that iPhoto is saving an image of all faces - also those it thinks that is a face but has not been tagged. Is there anyway to get completely rid of this or just to not have it save images of non-faces?

Applications :: Faces Not Showing Up In IPhoto On New Macbook?

May 15, 2009

I more than likely user error but I've just switched from Windows and I copied all of my photos from a USB hard drive over to the laptop hard drive which I put in a folder called "My Photos" in the "Photos" folder already created by OSX. For some reason I can't find "Faces" to start grouping the photos. It's not even showing up on my laptop in iPhoto.

Applications :: IPhoto 11 And Album Showing All Unnamed Faces?

Oct 31, 2010

I did the transition to iPhoto 11 after the update was issued and the only problem I've noticed so far is with Faces. Before, I had a smart album that showed me all the unnamed faces. I know prior to upgrading, I had tagged and removed all the faces, so that album should have been empty. Well, it detects about 20 photos and I went through them all and they had tagged faces. No problem I said, probably a bad Smart Album data.

I deleted the smart album, made a new one and the same issue. In a photo that has 2 people in it, it days the 2 peoples names and then suddenly 7 untagged faces. Again no problem but I don't see where these faces are so I can uncheck them. I even tried removing the tags from the current people and then trying it again (and sometimes, it piles up faces on top of each other) but no go. Anybody else having issues with faces?

Applications :: IPhoto / Faces Circling Arrows Forever?

Oct 30, 2009

I have iLive 09, recently upgraded from 08. I thought I'd play around with Faces, so I tagged about a dozen or so pics of my son's face.

It has been stuck on "KID may also be on the photos below" with the two spinning arrows for about a day. I see my CPU is running heavy the entire time on Activity Monitor with Iphoto taking most of the clicks.

How long does this usually take? or is this stuck in some bizarre loop and I'd best re-install iPhoto.. Going to let it run for another night (hope it doesn't get TOO hot!!)

I have about 13K photos when I select all and it gives me a count. That may be part of the issue.

I'm migrating from iPhoto '09 to Aperture 3 and noticed it doesn't import learned faces! I have over 130 learned faces in iPhoto and DO NOT want to have to manually re teach Aperture who everyone is. Why didn't they set it up to migrate the faces library as well?

OS X :: IPhoto 09 Tagging Faces Bug?

Jan 29, 2009

I've been tagging faces with the new iPhoto '09. When I go to the faces cork board, I've got many faces. Two of which, when I click on them shows nothing. Each of these have the most faces attached (over 20). The others that have 8 or less will show the faces when I click. Is there some kind of upper limit? This seems to be a bug or if not, it's not very good by design.

Software :: Faces Disappeared From Iphoto

Apr 21, 2009

i upgraded my imac (bought in 2006) to leopard and then to iLife '09 a few weeks ago. i've spend countless hours working with the face recognition stuff to organize my 40,000ish photos. i had about 100 faces recognized and labeled and everything was fine. i was confirming names for one of the faces today at about 1pm. when i came back to my computer at 3pm, all my faces were gone. just the original corkboard with the "getting started" message showed. i looked at individual photos and they're still tagged with the names (at least some of them). is there anything i can do? any restore with time machine?

MacBook Pro :: How To Deactivate Faces In Iphoto

Apr 9, 2012

I definitely need to get rid of "Faces" in iPhoto. I don't need it and it is making me crazy. It shows up when I am looking at my photos at places (like on the ground, sky, etc.) where there is simply no face. AND if there is a face I don't want to see any names or pop ups from "Faces" on my photos.

It seems Apple again know better what their customers want and decided for them to have this stupid feature! It makes me really sick!

In case there should be no solution to get rid or "faces" I will just use another software and forget iPhoto.

OS X Technologies :: Applescript For Sorting Faces In Iphoto?

Jun 12, 2012

I would really like for the Faces pane in iPhoto to sort the faces based on how many photos there are of that person, i.e., the person with the most photos would be first in the list, the person with the second most photos would be second, and so on. I feel sure that it is possible to write an applescript that would do this, but I have almost no experience with applescript. I have 688 faces, so sorting alphabetically mixes my loved ones in with people that have very few photos, while sorting manually is tedious and needs constant updating. 

1. Is it possible to do make iPhoto sort in the way I want, either with an applescript or by some other method? and 2. if it is possible, how do I find someone who can write the script for me?
