Remove faces from iPhoto

Hi.
Does anyone know if it's possible to remove 'Faces" from iPhoto 11 (9.2.1)? If so, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance
Steve

A poster called lopezio claims the following will do the job:
This is how you can disable (turn off) Face detection, without deleting faces found so far (just in case you want to restart processing at another time):
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Open Terminal Application (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
3. Type the following (exactly as is):
defaults write com.apple.iPhoto PKFaceDetectionEnabled 0
(then return)
4. - Start iPhoto - Faces stops getting on your nerves...
If you ever need to re-enable faces, just do the same again and replace the 0 with 1.
I've not tested this so I'd offer a significant warning to back up first and even if it does work then to be wary if you're updating or upgrading as it may have an impact there too.
What definitely works, and safely, is to upgrade to Aperture as that has an option to disable faces. Pay more get more options.

</web-app>I access the site using http://bri-dev2/Gemini/faces/login.jsp
I want to remove faces from the URL. like http://bri-dev2/Gemini/login.jsp
How can I achieve this ?
I used /* in the Faces Servlet URL Pattern. and when I accessed the page using
http://bri-dev2/Gemini/login.jsp it gave me FacesContext Exception. I am using FacesContext object in login.jsp and several other jsp pages. So /* did not work.
Any idea ?
thanks,

Sorry, it took long time. bcoz after that, all the components of server were down. I had to restart the server.

Import Face from iPhoto doesn't work

Hi to everyone. I just starting to beliebe if it' s good idea to reinstall Lion. I just want to know if all this is bugs or my system.
This days i have to many problems and all have to do with address book. Now the problem is that the button import face from iphoto is gray in every contact and i have faces enabled for those contacts. Some help please.

i have alot of movies on my iphoto and tried to upload to imovie.
the program does not respond!
iPhoto only requires a movie be playback compatible for it to be imported. iMovie requires a file be "edit" compatible before it will import the file at the "Finder" level.
i tried uploading from the hard drive and got the same result.
the only time the imovie actually respond is when i upload directly from my camera
Same result for the same reason. Files imported by the Finder must already be "edit" compatibile with iMovie '08. Files which are imported directly from a camcorder (with the exception of DV) have to be "converted" to become "edit" compatible with iMovie '08. The "Import from Camera" option automatically converts files imported from recognized devices while the import of files via the Finder does not.
Basically, if a file is not DV, AIC, Motion-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264 along with supported audio compression formats it will not be accepted/imported by iMovie '08. Either you import the files directly from the recording device (or make the application think it is doing so) or you convert them manually. To know what is best/easiest for you to do, we would first have to know what kind of files (i.e., compression formats) we are dealing with here.

IPhoto, moving photo's to my document folder, and remove thumbnails from iphoto.

iPhoto, moving photo's to my document folder, and remove thumbnails from iphoto.
How to? Please...I cut and paste items, it is removed from iphoto for a few seconds then they appear again.

The photos that are appearing on the mini - are they photos taken with an iPhone or iPad? If so, open System Preferences on both computers and select the iCloud tab. On the mini, click the Photos checkmark off and on the MBP click the Photos checkmark on (if it isn't already), then start iPhoto and select Preferences. Select the Photo Stream tab and make sure Photo Stream is on.

Removing Images from iPhoto

I don't know how to remove images from iPhoto 8 or 6. I prefer to use PhotoShop Elements and I want to move the iPhoto images from wherever they are into a separdate folder so that I can put them into Bridge CS3 and use Elements. But I cannot figure a way to do this. Thanks.

Terence
I purchased the Duplicate Annihilator that you recommended and with about an hour it had detected almost 5,000 duplicates, so I went ahead and identified them, also did the thumbs and found about 300 there, so I put them in the trash and deleted all that came up and now I am down to 5,000 - pictures. I will run it again tomorrow
Thank you for your help, and a bargain to boot, I must tell my Mac store about this!
Very much appreciated.... the reason that I hesitated to bring over the old iPhoto is that a few months back a bunch of my pictures from there 'disappeared' -so I didn't want to import a corrupt application?
Happy trails

What is the best app for identifying and removing duplicates from iPhoto Libraries/Pictures?

I have five iPhoto Libraries (original, default merged, etc.) I've tried using iPhoto Library Manager, but I seem to be digging a deeper hole. Also, question about the 15,000 faces: Are these taking up space on my hard drive? I gather I cannot easily remove them from libraries. Taking photos at concerts, sporting events, etc. just creates more faces in iPhoto; frankly, I could do without ANY FACE DETECTION!

These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) - this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison. It found all duplicates
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates: PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto. None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates. IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

Is there an easy way to remove photos from iPhoto in the organizer?

I had been using iPhoto, but quit when I started using Photoshop Elements. With version 9, it imported not only photos in my pictures but those in iPhoto. So I have hundreds of duplicates I need to remove from the organizer. Is there an easy way to find the ones from iPhoto so I can remove them?

OK, but is there a way to search/filter on a string in the location (i.e. iPhoto) so I could then easily know which are the duplicates I want to delete?
If there isn't, then it seems that I will have to delete the catalog and start from scratch again. I had originally thought I didn't include iPhoto in the folders to search, but apparently it was somehow included so I will have to be more granular in what folders to search if I recreate the catalog again.

Removing movies from iPhoto 11

I wish to remove all my movies from iPhoto 11.
I will then store on a separate HDD as my iPhoto is now up to 100GB :-/
Previous posts (https://discussions.apple.com/message/10649344#10649344) suggest flagging movies and send to Trash BUT I have 93 photos flagged for specific purposes.
If I create a Smart folder of movies the original movies cannot be deleted. They can be dragged to a Finder window and folder but originals remain in iPhoto.
I could try iPhotoManager I suppose but surely iPhoto has a solution... or not?
Thanks.
Michael

If I create a Smart folder of movies the original movies cannot be deleted.
They can.
Option-command-delete will move them to the trash.
BUT I have 93 photos flagged for specific purposes.
Flagging is designed for quick and dirty selections. If you're holding those for longer periods of time than a keyword would probably be better.

Moving pics location and removing images from iphoto

Here is the basic breakdown.
1. Imported pics from camera into iphoto.
2. I want to remove some of the pics from iphoto.
3. I do not want to use delete due to I want to burn/move a copy to CD or a different folder on my HD.
4. I moved a couple for test purposes from my iphoto lib to my home folder.
5. Reboot.
6. In iphoto I can still see the photos in the smaller views. but when I try to full screen the photo I get an grey screen ?x type of thing.
I do not want the small pic either.
Advice or direction?
Thanks.
T

T Slap:
To add to Terence's suggestions I'd like to expand on:
3. I do not want to use delete due to I want to burn/move a copy to CD or a different folder on my HD.
To copy those photos to another folder use the File->Export->File Export menu option. This will copy the files to the location of your choice.
To burn the photos to disk so that iPhoto can access them at a later date then use the method described by Terence. To burn just the jpg files to a disk without the iPhoto format use the Export route again to a folder on the desktop and then burn that folder via the Finder.
And do not take the warning about messing with files via the Finder lightly. As you found out it can really mess up the library.
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.

any suggestions

Really easy:
Find all the movies in your iPhoto Library. Then Export them to a Folder. Then delete them from iPhoto.
What makes this easy is that every movie is automatically keyworded when you import it.
So to find all the Movies:
File -> New Smart Album
Keyword -> is -> Movie
Now that you've found them. Select All and
File -> Export *_Kind: Original_* (Note: setting the Kind: to Original is vital)
And export them.
Then trash them from iPhoto.

How do I successfully remove photos from iPhoto?

Just bought a new MacBookPro.. very happy with it, everything except the iphoto application. When I insert my iphone, SD card it uploads my photos to iphoto.. which was great, till I discovered that there is NO obvious file location for my images, and iphoto isn't a folder.. I want a physical location for my photos. I want to be able to copy them, put them onto usb sticks, email them to family and friends.. they are MY photos after all
Every time I highlight images and try to copy them from iphoto, all I get is a filelocation marker / address. And I can't navigate to the location, because iphoto thinks it's a application, instead of a folder.. ? Very confusing.
Please tell me how I can recover my photos back from iphoto.. I'll only need to do it once, for maybe 30 or 40 pictures, and when I have them back, I can insert them into a new sub-folder within the pictures folder..

iPhoto is a program. The iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder is basically the picture database that iPhoto accesses when it loads. When you click on that iPhoto Library it automatically launches iPhoto and loads all the pictures which are stored in there. iPhoto really is as easy as drag and drop. You can drag and drop photos in iPhoto and you can drag and drop them out of iPhoto to any location on the computer that pleases you. iPhoto gives you many options for organizing, editing, and viewing your photots. You should try playing around with all the features for a few days before you decide it doesn't do what you want it to do, because I believe it will do everything you need an more. You just need to give it a chance and spend the 10-15 mins it takes to learn.

Can't remove video from iPhoto/iMovie'11

Help! I have an old video that shows up everytime I start iMovie'11, and I don't seem to be able to get rid of it. It shows up under the iPhoto video Library, but it doesn't show up at all in iPhoto so I am unable to delete it.
I managed to locate it in the Finder, it seems to have 2 .jpgs associated with it in the iPhoto Library Thumbnails and Preview directories, and two video files: one in the Masters directory and one in the Thumbnails.
Is there any way to delete it without resorting to the deleting these files from the Finder? It's over an hour long so I'd really like to be able to delete it.

Since no one on this discussion forum was able to offer help, I turned to Twitter and received an answer there.
In case anyone else with this problem stumbles upon this thread, I will share the solution that worked for me:
The answer was that the video in question was in the iPhoto Trash. Once I emptied the Trash from the left-hand sidebar in iPhoto, the video was removed from both iPhoto and iMovie.

How do i remove Facebook from iphoto

My wife linked her facebook to iPhoto and now I want to remove the link. Can someone tell me how to do it?

Try https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4268713
You might want to consider setting up an account on the iMac for her. She could then do what she wants there and not effect your account.

Photoshop Elements 12 removed pictures from iPhoto

I installed Photoshop Elements 12 then imported photos. Now iPhoto has no pictures. I have a backup on an external drive using Time Machine, but clicking "restore" did not solve the problem. Only a boundary box appears. When I scroll quickly through the pictures, I can see them, but when I stop scrolling, only a box appears. What to do?
Thanks very much

I installed Photoshop Elements 12 then imported photos
It sounds like you had Adobe Bridge move the orignal photos out of iPhoto to its own folder system. That's not how you use PSE with iPhoto.
Once you get the iPhoto library back together, either by restoring the backup copy made just before this happended or creating a new library and importing the photos Adobe Bridge moved out you can setup PSE to work within the iPhoto Library as follows:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.
