How do I adjust backlit faces in iPhoto '11?

I have many photos that have dark faces while the rest of the photo is perfect. I am using a MacBook Pro and I can't find anything online giving pointers on how to correct this problem.
I am imagining a brush that lightens specific areas, but I can't see that feature on my computer's iPhoto application.

Imagining is not a useful way to learn a program. I suggest you use the help capability and take the tutorials. http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/. As you will learn the feature you imagined is not a feature of iPhoto. You can adjust highlights and shadows. You can use an external editor if you find one that works as you imagine it should.

  • How do you turn OFF faces in Iphoto?

    How do you turn OFF faces in Iphoto? I hate it.

    When I collapse it the face boxes go away, but next thing I know it's expanded again.
    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter.  If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
    How large a date change are you putting in?  iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time.  If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
    If that is not the case:
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
    Let me know the results.

  • How do I use new Photos to autoscan for faces like iPhoto did?

    iPhoto used to have a feature to auto scan for faces. On Photos, I seem to have to go through photos one by one, or identify "unidentified" faces 1 by 1, then it will auto detect just a few more, which is HUGELY inefficient with 1000s of photos.(a lot already have "known faces" attached to them) . Looking it up in Photos Help is no help!  It says:
    Rescan a photo for a missing face
    Select one or more photos with undetected faces.
    Choose Photos > Detect Missing Faces.In the Source list, an icon next to Faces spins as iPhoto scans the photos again. During this scan, iPhoto uses less stringent criteria than in the original scan. As a result, you may see more “false positives”—photos in which an object has been identified as a possible face.
    To see if iPhoto found additional faces, select one photo at a time and click the Info button in the toolbar.
    Question:
    there is no Photos in source list only ALL PHOTOS (FACES,LAST IMPORT, ETC.), nor in dropdown, so what do I do? I never get to the the spinning icon....
    Also how do I find "undetected Faces" do I really have to go photo by photo?  Help me!!!!

  • How do I get Faces in iPhoto to appear on my 2ed gen Apple TV. The appear on my 1st gen Apple TV with Photos and Events.

    How do I sync Faces in iphoto to iTunes and then to my 2ed gen Apple TV so I can show Events,Photos or Faces on my TV? On another TV which I have connected a 1st gen Apple TV all three appear, so some how the 1st gen is sync'ing with itunes but not so with the 2ed gen Apple TV as I ony get Events and Photos on the TV screen.

    To choose which photos to show on your Apple TV
    File > HomeSharing > Choose Photos to share with Apple TV
    The dialogue box that opens lets you select what photos to send over

  • How do I turn off faces recognition in iphoto

    how do I turn off faces recognition in iphoto?  I mean forever!!

    So by deleting the "Face Profile" or whatever it's called for the individual Faces keeps searching for, you think that's not a solution?
    The actual pictures identified by faces are not deleted. Only the avatar and name you list to be looked for within faces is what you're removing.
    Do you have a better solution? I'm all ears.

  • How do I adjust the depth of a text box on a page in an iPhoto book?

    How do I adjust the depth of a text box on a page in an iPhoto book?

    You can't.  Those are fixed.  You can create a custom page in Pages where you can duplicate the background add photos with frames, any size of text box and text.  Make sure page size is the same as you've selected for the book. 
    Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto of that page.  That till create a 200 dpi jpeg file of that page that you can use on a blank page with an image for the background layout. This is a rough example:
    Custom book cover
    Click to view full size
    Custom text page (left)
    Click to view full size

  • How to delete faces in iphoto

    how can i delete faces in iphoto 9.5.1??

    When in your photo library, go to the bottom search magnifying glass. Search "face". This should bring up all the files that iphoto has renamed and categorized for you as just the faces in your photos. The file names for the face photos are (file name)_face(number).jpg. Unless you have renamed any photos with "face" in it (I never did), this will pull them all up. Hit "command" + "A" and it will select them all. Then delete.

  • I recently switched to Aperture. When I opened an image I imported from iPhoto, I don't have an option to edit it. Top of "Adjustments" tab says "image offline". How can I adjust Aperture so I can make adjustment to my iPhoto images?

    I recently switched to Aperture. When I opened an image I imported from iPhoto, I don't have an option to edit it. Top of "Adjustments" tab says "image offline". How can I adjust Aperture so I can make adjustment to my iPhoto images?

    I never tried importing from the iPhoto library as referenced images. I wonder if Aperture can access images stored in an iPhoto library package?  Even if it would work, it sounds like a bad thing to do.
    You might consider starting over and this time have Aperture manage the images.  That will copy them to the Aperture library, leaving the iPhoto library untouched. This assumes you have sufficient space to make a complete copy of all the images in your iPhoto library plus another copy of each image that Aperture makes as the preview image. You can then back up your iPhoto library (two backup copies, just to be sure) then remove it from your hard drive when you start getting too low on space.  As I write this I don't know where your iPhoto or Aperture libraries are/will be located so I'm assuming you have them on your HD.
