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".

  • How to set the Key Photo in .Mac Web Gallery ?

    Has anyone managed to set the key photo in a .Mac Web Gallery album ? The key photo is the photo used on the main page of the Web Gallery to illustrate the event.
    In iPhoto, all you do is select in the left column a published .Mac Web Gallery, right-click on the photo you want to set as the key photo, and select "set as key photo".
    In aperture, you can do the same in a project, but this will only set the key photo for your "all projects" view. This key photo is not used when exporting the project to .mac web gallery.
    In all the web galleries I export from Aperture, the first picture is used as the key photo, it's really a problem. Any solution ?

    There is a small "Header Bar" if you will in iPhoto, you can drag the photo you want to that header bar and I think that accomplishes what you want if I understand what you mean by Key Photo (the photo that shows up in e-mail if you forward the gallery to others). My wife and I stumbled on that solution as we were trying to figure it out. Actually I think wife gets the credit, she had the mouse in her hand when it happened .

  • Photos will not allow me to set the key picture for the album or event

    Photos will not allow me to set the key picture for the album or event - it is set to grey !
    Anyone else had this and found why ?
    new PHOTO app replacing iPhoto bugs/ Problems OTHER PROBLEMS :
    - no longer has a five star rating system
    - my keywords for selecting albums are gone.
    - cannot copy location of one photo to another
    - cannot have an album with  keywords AND rating > a value
    - cannot set key photo of album/event
    - multi parameter search feature gone
    Anyone got any ideas how to get around this terrible downgrade of the software ?
    BTW I have just discovered that iPhoto and its' libraries are still there, so I can go back but be left behind and frozen in time on this version if I do.
    Photos now take up 700Gb whereas it was 350Gb  #@!$#@!@#!@#
    Thanks

    That are all good points - but Photos is a completely new application. and it is only version 1.
    Continue to use iPhoto, girraween; the next update to Photos will probably add a few more features.
    iPhoto 9.6.1 is working very well with MacOS X 10.10.3.
    The migration let iPhoto installed and also your iPhoto Library will still work with iPhoto.
    If you did not uninstall iPhoto, it will still be there in your Applications folder.  And if you had updated to the latest version iPhoto 9.6.1 before you upgraded to MacOS X 10.10.3,  you can simply drag iPhoto back to the Dock from your Applications folder and continue to use it. Double click iPhoto and confirm, that you want to open iPhoto and not Photos.   It is not compulsory to use Photos, while it it still the first release. When you launch iPhoto, you will see a warning, that the iPhoto Library has been migrated to Photos, but simply click the "Open iPhoto" button.The library will still work with iPhoto. ()see: If Photos won't open a library that you already migrated - Apple Support
    If your iPhoto version is not iPhoto 9.6.1, you need to update it.
    See this User Tip:
    Usually it will work to reinstall instead of updating:
    Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
    The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.
    Meanwhile you may want to send a feature request to Apple using the feedback form. Apple - Photos - Feedback
    I hope, Apple will listen and add more features to Photos to make it usable for large Photo Libraries.

    How can I get rid of the constant asking for PIN whenever my iPad has been sleeping?

    You can turn it off:
    Settings > Passcode > enter your passcode > Turn Passcode Off.
    For security's sake, I recommend changing the amount of time that passes before it locks as opposed to turning off completely:
    Settings > Passcode > enter your passcode > Require Passcode:
    Immediately
    After 1 minute
    After 5 minutes
    After 15 minutes
    After 1 hour
    After 4 hours

  • 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
    Dave

  • How can I get rid of the vuzit application for pdf downloads and, instead, use Acrobat?

    When I try to access a document that is in pdf, I always end up having to wait for the vuzit nitro pdf reader. I usually end up switching to Safari or Chrome to avoid waiting and trying to use this program which seems to serve no useful purpose.
    How can I switch the preference to Adobe Acrobat? I have tried using the Firefox preferences for this with no luck.

    I have eventually uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it.
    I lost all bookmarks and passwords, but I have not (yet?) heard of VUZIT again.

  • How can I check or set the Airport Express WAN port settings

    I have a Netgear DG834G for ADSL connection with an Ethernet connection from the Netgear to a new (couple of months old) Airport Express.   Performance for streaming and downloads has fallen significantly.    On doing some problem diagnosis, I found that the Airport connection to the Netgear was showing as 10Mbps (an amber light), rather than 100Mbps.  It should be 100Mbps (both devices support 10/100 Ethernet).   I think the problem is with the Airport; I have tried different Ethernet cables and different Netgear ports.  Other devices connect successfully at 100Mbps to the same port on the Netgear using the same cables. 
    Using the Airport utility I see no way to see any data about the Ethernet speed/duplex setting, nor any about how to configure manually. 
    Is there any way to do this?
    Thanks for any advice here!

    Unfortunately, there are no port settings available when the Express is configured in Bridge Mode, so no way to "test" things that way.
    The Express should act just like a 10/100 Ethernet switch in Bridge Mode, so you may want to take the Express to an Apple Store or service shop to let them have a look if there is no other way for you to test the Express with the products that you have there.
    If you want to experiment to test, you could temporarily configure the Express in router mode to see if the port behaves the same way. There are port adjustments in router mode, but I doubt that they will have any bearing on things when the Express is switched back to Bridge Mode.
    The default mode is Automatic, which should work, but apparently does not.  Try the 100 Mbps Full Duplex setting to see what happens.

  • How can I quickly, easily close the tab I'm in?

    I'd like to close the active tab I'm viewing with a quick click, rather than having to look all through the dozens of tabs in Firefox, right and left, to find the tab I'm in. Surely there's a button or something that will close the viewed tab.

    Check out
    '''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/close-tab-by-double-click/ Close Tab by Double Click].'''''<BR><BR>
    Allows you to close tabs by double-clicking using the right mouse button.

  • I can't set my key photo. Iphoto won't respond.

    How can I get iphoto to respond to a command to make a photo the key photo for an event?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    Assuming you're running iPhoto 9 or later do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Setting the key size

    Hi,
    I would like to set the key size for encryption. My code is the following:
    private static final String algorithm = "RSA/None/NoPadding";
        private static final String keyAlgorithm = "RSA";
        private static final String providor = "BC";
        private static Cipher cipher = null;

            try {
                cipher = Cipher.getInstance(algorithm, providor);
                keyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance(keyAlgorithm, providor);
                BigInteger modulus = new BigInteger("d46f473a2d746537de2056ae3092c451", 16);

            } catch (Throwable t) {

    128 bytes = 1024 bits.

  • How can i set the alternating colors for a table rows

    Dear All,
    Please any one help me how can i set the Alternating colors for Table Rows.
    i created a theam there i set the background alternating color to brown and i set the table design properity to alternating. but it is not reflecting.

    Hi,
    The design property in Table properties should work for your requirement. Select "alternating" value for design.
    Please see the API below:
    design
    Determines the appearance of the table. The property design can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDTableDesign.
    alternating - The table rows are displayed alternately in a different color.
    standard - The table background has one color. The individual table rows are displayed with grid net lines.
    transparent - The table background is transparent. The individual table rows are displayed without grid net lines.
    Check whether you have changed the right property or not? Also table should contain more than one rows to test this scenario.
    Regards,
    Jaya.

    Hi LamboMong,
    just try this:
    http://refit.sourceforge.net
    install, reboot twice and choose the Windows-Partition on next startup.
    (The apple-bootloader doesn't display all bootable harddisks.
    With rEFIt you can boot from all partitions/harddisks on your computer.)
    I hope that will solve your problem.
