Change Key Photo on Faces?

How can I change the Key Picture on a person in Faces? It is possible in Events to change the Key Picture but not in Faces - why isn't this possible or will it be in the future?

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
scroll across the Faces in the cork board display until you see the one you want and hit the space bar (just like in events) or display all the faces and right click (control click) on the one you want and select "make key photo" from the contextual menu (just like events)

  • Selecting Key Photo in Faces

    Is there a way to make a photo a key photo in Faces similar to the way you can make a key photo in events?  For some of the people in faces, the pictures appearing are years old, even baby pictures.

    Yes, and pretty much the same way. Move your mouse across the Face icon to scrub through the pics and when you see one you want then right click and choose 'Make key Photo'.

  • Setting 'key photo' for Faces?

    On an iPhoto event, you can select one photo and set it as a 'key photo'.
    Can the same be done with Faces? How?
    Dave

    in faces view skim across the person you want until you see the photo you want for a key photo and hit the space bar to set it (this works for events too)
    You really should take 2 1/2 minutes to watch the iPhoto tutorial - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/#faces

  • .Mac Web Gallery - How to change key photo and order or galleries?

    How can I choose which photo is the key photo for each .Mac web gallery? Also, how can I re-arrange the order of the web galleries?

    I would really love to see a solution for this too ! Unfortunately I think apple just didn't implement it in Aperture. My .Mac web gallery is about events in my life and it doesn't make any sense to have it sorted alphabetically...
    Not being able to simply set a key photo is really annoying too.
    The worst is that these two functions are available in iPhoto. All they had to do was copy and paste...
    Apple are you listening ?

  • Is there a way to change the key photo on iPhoto Faces?

    Hi
    The picture on the corkboard for each person appears to be the first photo you identify for that person.
    Is there any way to change the key photo, like you can do with Events?
    Thanks
    Dave

    Thanks very much!
    I hadn't realised you can do that on Events, I have always right clicked on it and brought up the option to Change key Photo. That doesn't work the same way n Faces, so thanks for the Space Bar trick.
    All the best

  • How can I more easily set the Key Photo for a face?

    I know I can scrub across the face on the cork board to select, but this is completely unusable if you have more than 20 or 30 photos. By way of example: I have 1,700 photos of a person going back more than ten years. I want to choose a recent photo as the key. The order of the photos when you scrub is totally different than the order when you open the face. I can't right click -> set key photo or Photos -> Set Key Photo when I'm looking at the individual photos of that person.
    Is scrub-and-select really the only way to do this? I know iPhoto lets you right-click -> set key photo after opening a specific face.

    I'm replying only in case no-one else does.  To the best of my knowledge, as you have found, the only way to select the face shown on the corkboard in Faces view is via the "skim-and-spacebar" method.
    (Well, there is a second identical way: click the info button ("i") and skim-and-click.)
    There is no parallel in Faces to the "Set key photo" command available for Projects.
    Fwiw, the User Manual refers to the Faces key photo as the "Snapshot".
    Feedback might be worthwhile:  "Aperture→Provide Aperture Feedback".

  • Key photos in photo app are changed to the first photo in album in iOS 5

    why did apple changed the key photos in photo app on iOS 5??? I mean it was custom on iOS 4 but now it is the first photo in your album??? Is it possible to fix this???

    When do my photos upload to Photo Stream?
    When you enable Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your Photo Stream.
    I copied that from this website
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    Notice it states all NEW photos. But like I said, I'm not that sure about it. I don't use Photo Stream, just based on what I am reading.
    I could be misinterpreting what this means.

  • Faces and Address Book - can you sync key photos?

    I really liked it how the new iPhoto uses address book to get the details of people when you identified them with faces. I thought it would be really useful if Address Book could sync the identified contacts with the 'key photos' used in iPhoto, but annoyingly this does not seem to be possible, unless you manually drag and drop each image you want into each individual card.
    Does anyone know if there an easy way of doing this - or - have Apple uncharacteristically overlooked an opportunity for cross-application information sharing?
    Thanks,
    Madsen

    Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
    This is not currently a feature of iPhoto - request from Apple -- iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
    Since this is version one of faces I would expect to see additional functionality in future versions - the address book feed to faces was added in update 2 I believe it was

  • I can't change the Key Photo!  Help!

    I have a stack with 2 photos - I've clicked about 100 times on the photo each of the photos and selected - Make Key Photo - and when I collapse the stack, it's still the same key photo on top. Am I missing something? I thought when I selected Make Key Photo, the key photo on top would change.

    They key photo has nothing to do with the "pick" of a stack. The left-most (pick) of the stack will be on top.
    Forget about the key photo -- that's just what's shown for a project in the "All Projects" view.

  • Is there anyway to organize icloud photo steams into abc order? and can you change the key photo image??? makes me crazy!

    I am searching for ways to organize my photo streams...alphabetical preferably.
    Also how do you change the key photo from something random that i did not choose to be the key photo (in the photo stream/icloud mode).
    Thank you!
    sue

    As far as I can see, sue, the shared Photo Streams will always show the photo last added as the key photo. So just make sure the last photo you add is a photo like to see as the key photo. I do no know of any method to arrange the photo streams alphabetically. My photo streams are neither shown in chronological order nor in the order I created them.

  • When syncing faces: names do not appear and key photo is distorted on iPad

    I'm syncing from Aperture 3.0.3 to an iPad. I select a number of projects to sync, and some faces.
    Most faces appear fine. However, there are a handful of faces with distorted key photos / thumbnails, and no name appears below them. Each key photo contains photos from an individual I selected, and appears in the correct alphabetical order, it just does not have the name.
    With the exception of one face, these photos are of friends, of which I have not selected projects above. So I'm certain this is an issue where the iPad or iTunes has grabbed all photos for that person, and few if any of these photos are in the projects I selected above.
    The other face that is distorted is my newborn daughter! I definitely have several albums selected with her in them.
    Any ideas?

    I had something similar happen, albeit with a few differences. I'm syncing from iPhoto and I discovered that when viewing the list of faces one of the names was missing. All of the photos were there and the group was in the correct alphabetical order, but the name was missing.
    I tried a bunch of things. I removed all photos from the iPad and resynced-- no joy. I renamed the face in iPhoto and resynced-- no joy.
    Here is what did finally work for me, although it is such a kludge I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work for everyone. First I went to the Photos tab in iTunes switched from 'All photos..' to 'selected..'. Then I unselected all albums, all events, and all faces except for the checkbox next to the name that was "missing" from the iPad's faces label for that person. I allowed it to sync, removing all of the photos except for the faces for that person. To my surprise, it was now properly named on the iPad.
    Then I went back to iTunes, switched back to 'all photos..', synced again, and the face label was still present.

  • How do I change the key photo of a Photo Journal created in iPhoto for iOS?

    Is there a way to choose this photo? It seems to default to the first photo in the event used to create the journal, not even first photo on first page.

    If you edit the journal, select the picture you want to use, choose "Edit" and then select the settings icon (the gear wheel) you can choose to select this picture as the "Key Photo".

  • Can I change Web Gallery "Key Photos"?

    In the album overview, I have not been able to figure out how the album chooses the "Key Photo" that represents the album.
    I haven't experimented fully, but it seems that a Key Photo from an Event made into an album follows to the Web Album, but I have several albums and smart albums I also need galleries of.

    Oops, there it is. "Make Key Photo" from the "Events" menu.
