RE-Scan of new Photos with faces

I'm currently using faces for some of my photos, when i add new photos to iPhoto, how can i get faces to re-scan the new photos so that my already defined faces are updated with the new Pics. Do i have to manually add these new photos to my existing defined faces?

Select faces in the source pane on the left and select a person on the corkboard and double click - it will open showing the faces you have identified for them and below it will be a section for you to confirm or deny suggestions for more
I recommend that you watch the tutorial - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/#faces

  • Show number of new photos with faces found

    Photos should show a number of new photos with faces found on each face at faces page.
    This would help me not to go over every person and check for new photos.

  • Exporting/importing photos with Faces tags

    I have an iMac where I keep all photos, movies, etc. and an Air. I loaded all my photos to my Air for a long flight when I tagged them all with Faces and Locations. Now I cannot move them back onto my iMac (where I want to store them for space reasons) with any of that info. Please tell me I have not wasted 8 hours.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The only way to do this is with iPhoto Library Manager

  • Identify Photos with Faces in List view

    I have duplicate photos in aperture, I'm trying to clean them up in the LIST view  Sometimes my duplicate photo has a Face or place where the other does not.  How can I quickly see if the photo has a Face assigned to it so I know which file to keep?  Badges do not see a badge for Face

    This is basically what I did while I was waiting for feedback.  I created a custom Metadata field to use as a flag.  Your idea of a color label may have been better.   I created a smart album that showed all faces detected; I also created a smart album that showed all faces Not Named.  I opened the first smart album and used a batch update to to all photos in the album to set the new custom metadata field to YES.   I then opened the 2nd smart Album and performed a batch update on all photos that had a face but not named back to blank.    I then set the inspection window to INFO and selected Custom Fields.  As I work my way down the list I could look over to see what pictures had a "Named" face on it and what photos did not.    Thanks for the help and I hope Leonie and my descriptions will help someone else.

  • Importing new photos with Iphoto6 without importing duplicates

    In IPhoto 5 when I imported from the Ultra II reader a dialogue box appeared allowing me to say don't import duplicates. With IPhoto 6 this box doesn't appear. Or can I make it appear by clicking on something?

    Manning:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It should give you that option. Try loading some known duplicates from the desktop and see if you get that message. Some would not get the message when coming direct from the camera but would when coming from the HD.
    Be sure to repair disk permission (after every software install or update) and see if that will help. You can try downloading the iPhoto 6.0.5 updater (if you're at 6.0.5 or 6.0.4 already) and re-install it. If you're already at 6.0.5 then you need to go to the HD/Library/Receipts and delete the iPhoto_605.pkg file before running the installer. Again repair disk permissions afterward.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • HP3520 will not scan to new computer with windows 8.1

    Downloaded and ran hpp1W.exe but still no connection.   Printer connected just fine.... just can't scan

    Well that didn't really tell us anything.
    But we can't help you with your computer. We're just users, with no tech support resources. Expression Web is just a program, like any other; there's nothing special. You just have to install it after you download it.

  • How to email photo found with "Faces"

    When I find a photo with Faces the email button is grayed out. What do I need to do while in Faces to find out where a photo is located in the library (i.e. which project)? This would enable me to go to the correct project, locate the photo, and then use the email button? Or, perhaps there is a simpler way? Thank you.

    I -- known, at least in the circle of interest I call my desk, for being slow with a pen -- get that joke.
    You'll beat me to 1700 -- and deserve to be there already.
    Cheers.
    PS: the Export options are there -- but the Output options (of which Email is one) are not all there. The only explanation I can come up with is that people kept trying to email the cropped view shown in Faces, and complained when their expectations were not met, and so the engineers broke that bridge, forcing users to return to the Project (where the cropped Faces view is neither visible nor available) and make their own crops.

  • Moving images from library to library WITH Faces information

    Ok.
    iPhoto 09/faces
    Can someone out there tell me, first off, is it even possible to move photos from one library to another library WITH all the Faces effort I've put in on those photos (say from my default library on my hard drive to another person's library on an external hard drive)?
    That way they don't have to be rescanned and then I have to go through and correct the crappy scanning effort that the program did all over again.
    I tried exporting/importing, straight copy, etc. with no dice.
    I don't want to keep having to re-correct all the faces in images I transfer between libraries.
    "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi....You're my only hope!"

    For folks out there here is the results of Terrence's suggestion (which was a good one BTW, I don't want to dump on him - it was good thinking on his part! Thanks Terrence).
    iPhoto Lib Manager still ***** (on my system anyway - iMac OSX 10.5.6).
    I installed the thing and tried moving 1000 photos with faces info organized nicely - no dice - it crapped out.
    First make sure all the permissions are set properly and the library mounts automatically (under the options). Then it will at least ATTEMPT to copy everything (also edit prefs to reflect all the metadata that goes with the photos like faces info, dates, desc. etc).
    But while thing appear to go well, it craps out at the end leaving you stymied. It re-scans the imported images and the faces data does not come through in the end despite it's trying to do so.
    I tried it with 80 photos, just to make sure I wasn't trying to fit 20lbs of manure into a 10lb bag. Same story with the smaller transfer
    If I go any smaller, I may as well have used the public version (free) which limits you to 20 at a time.
    So bottom line - according to my experience - if you and someone else have the same photos in your separate libraries and want to share the effort one of you puts into organizing faces info - you're hooped/screwed/pooched!
    Nada - diddly - bupkiss!
    VERY DISAPPOINTING! Both the iPhoto 09 AND the failed (but valiant) attempt by iPhoto Lib Man.
    Should've stuck with iLife 08 and lived with it...sigh.

  • New photos/videos gone when restored from backup. Why?

    Just got the iPhone 5 over the weekend, which was a huge upgrade from my 2009 3G!
    I didn't get around to plugging the phone into my MacBook Pro until today. When I synced my new iPhone, I clicked "restore from previous backup", which then it put all my old photos from 3G onto iPhone 5.
    However, when this happened, all of my SMS and photos/videos that I took over the weekend are now gone. I presume the iphone replaced the new photos with my old ones?
    Is there any way I can get those videos and photos back? Please let me know!
    Thanks

    When you restore from the backup you only get the data that was contained in that backup. You will lose any data on the device that occurred after the backup point.
    Restore = Replace data on device.
    It does not "add" that data to the existing data on the phone.

  • Share library or album with faces information

    Is it possible to share a library or album with faces information intact?

    Share? Sure. Simply put the Library on an external disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and allow the other person to open it. They'll see exactly what you see.
    Share from? Not so clear. There is no way to export a photo with faces information. There is no agreed standard for passing this information around. However, if the other person has the same version of iPhoto as you it is possible to use iPhoto Library Manager to share this data from one Library to another.

  • Replacing a old photo with a new one.

    Using iPhoto right now, would this be something that is easy in Aperture, will switch tomorrow if it works better. A few years back I imported some of my photos off of a photo cd that came with my prints. Now I am scanning the negs at a higher resolution than they supplied on the photo cd. My question is.. is there anyway to replace the old photos with the new photos so that all of my faces, places, dates, keywords etc. will remain intact?

    Also make sure you've renamed the new file exactly the same as the old file, same case, format, etc.

  • 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!!!!

  • Working with scans of old photo collection

    I'm trying to use iPhoto 8.0.2 to organize my grandmother's photos, with the end goal of sharing with family on Flickr.
    So, an old photo collection which has been scanned.
    First, dating. I'd like to be able to order photos chronologically.
    I could change the photo dates (losing one link to the original scanned collections (events) which correspond to physical envelopes of actual originals). iPhoto seems to insist upon a month/day/year, and cannot handle anything less than that. Photos that are identified with just a year, or month/year for example. Not to mention the ones that I'll try to estimate a year based upon the apparent ages of the people in them.
    Another approach would be to use keywords to tag photos with a year. But then, if I want to use keywords for another reason, I think I lose the ability to sort them in chronological order. Haven't checked out whether one can restrict range in a keyword sort. Or if keywords can be assigned some structure that can be used in the selection/sorting process.
    A second concern is keeping the connection clear between the scanned images and the original photos (who has them, where they came from). Hopefully other family might share, so this will grow beyond grandma's photos. Careful editing of event titles should address this. But then I don't think I can create sub-events, right? Is there a way to cluster events together? For example, if my cousin sends me more of grandma's photos, is there a way to associate the new batch with the first set, other than defining an event naming convention?
    Thank you for any help you can give on the above questions. I'd especially appreciate thoughts from others working with an 'old' photo collection regarding these issues (dating, keeping the connection between paper & electronic originals), as well as others you've encountered that I haven't thought of yet.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    First, dating. I'd like to be able to order photos chronologically.
    iPhoto will get the date of the photo from either the Exif data or the File creation date. As these are scanned photos they will have no Exif data,a nd so their dates will be the date they were scanned, regardless of the subject of the photo.
    The most simple way to date the pics is to use a Title scheme - 2009 -04 - 13: John’s Wedding, for instance, will give you the year, month or date to search on, plus John and Wedding.
    I would not use keywords for dates.
    Is there a way to cluster events together? For example, if my cousin sends me more of grandma's photos, is there a way to associate the new batch with the first set, other than defining an event naming convention?
    Don’t use Events, use Albums.
    N o you can’t cluster Events, but you can do pretty much anything you want with Albums and Folders.

  • Old Mac Pro with 7.0 iPhoto transferred selected photo albums to my iPad. New iMac with iPhoto 11.0 will not transfer photo albums to my iPad. Why not?

    I just purchased the new iMac with the latest iPhoto. Transferred my iPhoto library from my old Mac Pro. Upgraded iPhoto app and then tried to transfer photo albums to my iPad. New iPhoto will not allow transfer of selected albums, while old iPhoto did allow me to sync my selected albums to my iPad. Am I doing something wrong?

    I do not have Last 12 Months selected. I also do not have Events or Faces or any of those newer designations selected. I have literally thousands of photographs in iPhoto, which is why I keep the select, special few hundred or so I want on my iPhone in very specific albums. These are the albums I select to sync. However, not all of the photos in these albums are uploading to my iPhone. They were on my iPhone and synced perfectly fine until the switch to the new laptop this weekend. All files were migrated to the new laptop, and all files are there and viewable on iPhoto. Something is causing some of the photos not to sync. That is what I need assistance with....
