When iPhoto scans your photos for faces, it’s simply identifying photos that it thinks contains eyes, noses and mouths. It’s up to you to tell iPhoto who those folks are-a process called “Naming a Face.”
- Select a photo containing a face you want to name.
- Click the “Name” button. The photo appears with a box enclosing each face.
- Click the unnamed face text, type the person’s name, and then press the “Return” key. If the photo contains additional unnamed faces, repeat this step to name each face. To move to different photos and name the faces they contain, click the arrow buttons. Are you done naming? Click “Done.”
