IOS photo app vs iPhoto, keywords, smart albums, face detection?

greetings,
i have some questions about iOS photos app in comparison to iPhoto (in 10.8). i've done a little searching on the web and in the forum, but didn't see this covered...
i always sync my iPhone to my mac, copy/import my photos to iPhoto, and use iPhoto to organize my photos. in iPhoto, i tag photos (keywords) and use "smart albums" to access all my photos based upon the keyword tags. face detection in iPhoto is GREAT!.   i have all my friends faces named and finding them by "people" grouping is fantastic. the down side to all of this is that i have everything working great on my mac, but usually i'm using the photos app in the iPhone to show pics to my friends since that is what i have with me. i'm not sure if this information in iPhoto ever gets synced back to my iPhone.
1- does the iOS photos app have any of these features from iPhoto?
     in other words, can i tag photos, lable the faces of friends, set up smart albums in iOS photos? if so, please point me to some info. i haven't seen an obvious way to do any of this.
2- can i sync what i do in iPhoto back to my iPhone?
     in other words, can i get the tags, peoples' names on their faces, and smart albums copied from iPhotos back to my iPhone? is there some setting or command in iPhoto, or somewhere else?
3- i just turned on photostream. can/does this iPhoto data transfer via photostream to the iPhone?
i have an iPhone 4.
i am just about ready to upgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 6. so if any of these features are specific to iOS 6, please let me know.
i'd appreciate it if you could mention if there is anything special about iOS in the iPad, because a friend has asked me how she can do in her iPad (iOS 6), what i do with iPhoto in my mac.
thank you for any suggestions or advice.

You're best bet would be to do your own comparison: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iphoto/id497786065?mt=8

Smart Album errors detecting photos w/ missing faces

I created a smart album (Faces is "unnamed") to find photos with missing faces. I went through and identified each of the photos. As I did this, as soon as I put in the name, many (but not all) disappeared from the album.
However, the Smart Album still has a number of photos, even though there are no unidentified images. I checked each one to see if there were small boxes that I missed, but there weren't.
I deleted the album and set up a new smart album (with the same criteria) and the images still appear in the album.
Is there any way to make my smart album smarter? (remove a plist???)
Thanks!

. "Affe". I have a face named "Sculpture".
I was quite impressed that Aperture's Face Recognition recognizeed the baboon's face.
I have some nice tagged sculptures too.
And some of the more cheeky suggestion by Aperture I named "Funny Face", for example - where does Aperture see a Face here in the bottom part of the picture?

Photos app vs. iPhoto App IOS

On my iPhone and iPad/iPad mini, I have both "Photos" app (a kind of pink/orange starburst icon) and iPhoto for IOS. I have two questions a search didn't turn up answers for:
1) Do I need both these apps? They both display my photos in similar ways (photos/albums). I think Photos came with my devices and I think I downloaded iPhoto from the App Store.
2) Are they drawing on the same database of photos (presumably my Mac iPhotos and PhotoStream in iCloud) meaning the photos are not taking up doublespace?
I'd like a little space back on my devices and deleting one of these apps (if they aren't "sharing" photos) is a good way I think. I use Instagram to edit IOS photots - not either of these apps.
Thanks in advance!

The short answer:
Yes, you need both apps - or may want to have both.
And both are showing you the same photos, but in different ways, and they are just offering differnet views, the photos will not be duplicated.
See the iPhoto Help: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnka7d353af
All of the photos and video clips in the Photos app on your device automatically appear in iPhoto. You can also import photos into iPhoto from other devices and computers, other apps on the same device, or a digital camera (if you're using iPad)
iPhoto is showing you all photos stored on your iPhone in one place, and you can organize and edit the photos in a more elaborate way than with the Photos app by adding tags and brushing in effects. You can craete Journals andphoto books, and publish slideshows, and share photos to iTunes.
The Photos.app mamages the Camera Roll and is the central sharing place between differnet apps on your iPhone. Also, the Photos.app is the only app that can delete from the Camera roll.
You cannot delete the Photos.app - it comes with with the system software on your iPhoto. You could delete iPhoto, but the app does not need much space. Transfer your photos to your computer and delete the photos that you do not like.

IOS Photos app bug

I didn't know where to submit this to apple, so hopefully someone reads it.
Since about 2 iOS updates ago, I've noticed a bug in the regular Photos app. When switching back to Albums view after looking at Places, the list of albums will start at the very top of the screen (behind the clock, and app controls) making it impossible to click on the Camera Roll.
You have to go to the App Switched and kill the photos app to get it to work properly again.

Ah, now I see it's a well known problem...
It's been happening since 4.3, have they missed it in the last couple releases?

IPhoto '11 Smart Album Not Updating

When importing photos from my iPhone into iPhoto '11, any events that contain pictures of my son are titled with his first name. I have a smart album set up to include any events that include my son's name. Suddenly, events I import and title accordingly are no longer showing up in the smart album. At first I thought the fact a couple of those events have videos in them might be the problem, but I also have recent events with no videos not syncing to the album either. Any thoughts from the community welcome!

No. A Smart Album is really a list of images found in response to a search. So you're looking for images not found by another search, and that's not a criterion for a Smart Album.

Can someone explain the difference between photos app and iphoto for iphone?

I recently downloaded the iphoto app to my iPhone 4s. I am hoping to clear up some space on my iphone and I deleted some pics from what I thought was the camera roll within iphoto. I noticed later that while attempting to change my wallpaper, I noticed that pics I thought I deleted were still on the phone as evidenced by their availability to be used as wallpaper. I checked that I had selected cameral roll and not photostream, where it would make sense the photos would still be there. When I left settings I noticed that I have iphoto and the phots app on my iphone. Do I need both? And if i want to delete photos, do I need to delete photos from the cameral roll within iphoto AND the photos app???? I really need someone to make sense of all this photo business!

The "Photos" application is built into the phone and is meant only for viewing and making small edits (crop, auto-enhance, etc.) to photos in your Camera Roll and other photos synced onto your phone via iTunes.
iPhoto for iOS is a new application which is meant to allow you to organize your photos, share them via sideshows or "journals" and make mode substantial edits (contrast, brightness, sharpness, photo effects, etc.)
Keep in mind that iPhoto or any other app from the App Store does not have the ability to delete photos from your Camera Roll. What you did is probably hit the x icon which hides the photo from your iPhoto library but it remains in your Camera Roll. To delete photos, they must be deleted from the Photos app. Oce they are deleted from your Camera Roll they will no longer show up in iPhoto.

IPad photo app or iPhoto

Could someone please advise me on the fundamental differences between the iPad app "photo" and the iPhoto app
Thank you in advance

I'm not sure what part of you need to post in the correct forum is confusing??
iPad and iPhone questions are best ask in the correct forums - iPhoto for the Mac has nothing to do with iPhoto on either (on any IOS device) - the only thing they currently have in common is their names - no other connteciton
Posting iPad and iPhone questions in the iPhoto for Mac forums does not give good answers since there is no connection of any sort as explained

Image preview not working with 3rd party photo apps in iPhoto/Image Capture

I haven't had a problem until recently with the iPhone 4. Pictures taken with third party photo apps such as Shake It Photo or Hipstamatic no longer generate a thumbnail preview in either iPhoto or Image Capture. It's just a generic jpg icon. All pictures taken with Apple's camera app appear just fine. I also had a problem where I couldn't import any of the photos, but I restarted the phone a couple times and that seemed to fix the importing issue, but not the thumbnail preview issue. This is particularly weird because i've been importing pictures since the first day this phone came out, and it's only been doing this since yesterday.
I know a lot of people are having problems getting their iPhoto to recognize the phone at all or that there are photos on the phone, but is anyone else having the same problem as me? Any solutions? I have iPhoto 8.1.2.
Thanks!

I have this issue but didn't recognize it until I read your post. I thought it was 2 bad photos.
I'll subscribe to this tread to see if anyone comes up with a fix.

MacOSX Photos App (versus iPhoto): edit in external editor?

Just a quickie to see if my deduction is correct. In the new Photos app on OSX I can find no manner via which to "Edit in external editor" as is (was?) possible in iPhoto. I deduce the manner for this now, is to export a photo, edit it (and rename if so desired), then re-import it. Correct? (No more of the handy, immediate-seeming path.)

I just realized that Photos doesn’t have a Feedback feature and at the moment there’s no Photos support there. Hold that thought and look back at the Apple Feedback site I linked to. With luck in a short while we can feedback our wishlist on Photos. I know this one is high on my list.

Smart Album Face Name Do Not Find Names within UTF-8 Chars

I am using Photos Version 1.0 (209.52.0). OS X Yosemite version is 10.10.3. I didn't convert the library from iPhoto and I've created a new one.
When I create a Smart Album with face name (even "Face is" or "Face includes" a name) with UTF-8 chars, (this name is in the faces exactly with UTF-8 chars), smart album cannot find the face. Always 0 items matched.
Here is the screenshot.
Anyone faces this problem ?

the same problem here. I cannot find faces with "Léonie" either.
File a bug report using the feedback form: Apple - Photos - Feedback
As a work-around, add a keyword to all photos in your Ayca stack of faces, without the ethnic characters in the name. Then search for the keyword.
Added: The keyword can contain "é". This rule is working:
Keyword is Léonie
and "keyword is Ayça" also works.

Bug with Smart Albums, Faces & Places.

I have recently got married, and we have got a good few hundred photos added into iPhoto (for a total of a few thousand). And we've spent a good while making sure that everybody is tagged correctly in Faces and all the Places are correct.
My wife has then asked me for all of the photos with her and her grandma. Easy; I create a Smart Album with Match all of the following conditions: Face is "Clair" and Face is "Granny". I end up with a few dozen photos containing both of them.
Then she asks if we can just look at those which have both of them at the wedding reception. So I simply added an extra condition to the smart album of Place is "Reception". But instead of getting a handful of photos -- a subset of the previous album, as expected -- I end up with a few hundred pictures! This modified album is taking all those pictures which are at the correct place, but now have either Clair's or her grandmother's face in them.
Is there something obvious I've overlooked, or is this a genuine bug?
Thank You,
Warren Merrifield

I set it to "all", in both cases. If it's set to "any", I get even more results (all the pictures from the venue, regardless of who is is them plus all those with Clair in and all of those with her gran in).

In iOS Photos app, how do I get photo to go to a different album?

In Photos on an iPad4, I want to move some photos from one album to another or from PhotoStream or Camera Roll to an album. I recall the process being...
1. Select an album. Press Edit. Select the pictures you want to move. Click Add to... Choose whether to Add to existing album OR Add to a New album. I choose Existing album and up pops a header saying Add to Album with my chosen number of photos below and the available albums.
WHAT NEXT? I believe I used to be able to simply tap on the target album and in would go the selected photos. Now, I have a Cancel button in the upper right. No other buttons and no combination of touches, taps, holds, seems to have any effect on anything...
Is this a bug in a latest release of iOS?
Thanks

1. Tap Edit on top right
2. Select photo for new Folder
3. Tap Add To...
4. Give folder a name

HT201317 How do you show the photo labels in iPhoto from an Album to shared iCloud folder?

I labeled an album of photos and shared the album on iCloud, I would like the labels of each photo to show up in the shared iCloud album, does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately photo stream and shared streams do not share your iPhoto comments.
If you have any suggestions that you think might enhance iCloud you can send Apple your feedback here.

Can other photo applications read iPhoto keywords?

If I put in the time and work to adding keywords to all my photos in iPhoto will I be stuck using iPhoto forever because no other application will be able to import the keywords with the photos?

If you open the images directly in the other application (using the standard File dialog like File -> Open -> Media -> Photos -> iPhoto), the keywords will not be included in the image file. However, you can export your photos from iPhoto and check an option to include the keywords. Or you can use a tool like my open-source Phoshare application (http://code.google.com/p/phoshare/) to export your entire library with the keywords embedded into the image metadata.
