Unnamed Faces in photo with no faces

I have created a smart album to show all unnamed faces. Several of these images are showing '1 unnamed face' in the Info tab, however there are no squares to tag in the image itself. Is there anyway to correct this? My library has recently been repaired.

This is probably too late for you but other may find it useful in the future.
This seems to be a fault within iPhoto, and Apple don't seem interested in fixing it as usual, the customer comes last.
Here is what you have to do.
First Create a Smart album that collates all Hidden Photos
Now go back to your Smart Album with "unnamed Faces" and Hide the ones that don't show the Face Square
Theses photos will now appear in the Hidden Smart Album.
Now Unhide them (Show ) them.
The unnamed face square will not usually appear in the photo .
If not, it maybe a cropping issue and the unnamed face is outside the cropped area.

I need a Smart Album that only contains photos with NO faces detected

I've been fiddling with the smart album settings, and I can't seem to find a way to do this. iPhoto will miss detection on some faces, and I need a way to see ONLY the photos that iPhoto didn't find a face for.
This is NOT the same as a smart album with an "unknown" face. This is a smart album that will show ALL photos with NO face detected at all.
Is this possible?

Boy, why can't we use Smart Folders as a criteria for creating another Smart Folder? This works in iTunes! You can use a Smart Playlist as a criteria for creating another Smart Playlist.
Well, here is what you can do...
Create a Smart Folder that gathers all of the identified Faces. Faces --> is not --> unnamed
Then drag all those photos to a standard album titled Faces Named
Next Create a Smart folder that gathers all of the unnamed Faces. Faces --> is --> unnamed
Now drag all those photos to a standard album title Faces Unnamed.
Finally, create a Smart Album with the following criteria...
Album --> is not --> Faces Named
Album --> is not --> Faces Unnamed
That should gather every photo that iPhoto has determined that no faces exist.

Best method to seamlessly swap someone's face in a group photo with their face in another photo?

A band hired me to do a photoshoot of them and it was my first time shooting a band professionally so I was and still am quite nervous about the photos turning out well, especially since they're a well known group and the pictures will be published in a magazine and spread around a lot and attributed to me. The issue I'm posting here about is that all of the best shots I got of the group are good except for one member who will either be making a weird expression or has their eyes closed. I took a lot of photos but I didn't really get any where each member of the group looks good in the same photo; they each look good throughout the set of photos, just not all at once in one photo. What I'd like to do is replace that member's face in the otherwise good photo with her face from another photo from the shoot where her eyes aren't closed or she has a better expression...but I feel like I'm playing with fire by doing this since I really don't want it to be obvious that I photoshopped it in any way, either to the band or anyone who views the photos later on.
I'm decent with Photoshop but I'd still like to know what the best method of doing this would be so that it looks as natural/unaltered as possible. Any suggestions?
Also, the photos I'd be switching the faces in were mostly shot from the same angle and with the same lighting and exposure but a few were shot from slightly different angles or the exposure is slightly different, which makes it more difficult. If, for example, due to flash settings the photo I'm trying to paste a face into (let's call it Photo A) is slightly brighter than the photo I'm trying to copy the face from (Photo B), what's the best way to merge/adjust the two so that the brightness levels in Photo A and the layer from Photo B are as similar as possible?
(I'm using PS CS6)

Ideally, if you have several shots from the same place, with that band member's head in a similar angle, you could do something like this:
1. Choose the Polygonal lasso tool.
2. Set it to feather a few pixels.
3. Select around the facial features in the image with the good face.
4. Paste the good face on the otherwise good background and move it into position over the bad face.
5. Set it to be partially transparent to help you align it. Use Edit - Free Transform to rotate or scale it if it's off a little.
6. Make it fully opaque, and use Curves, etc. to perfectly match the exposure, if it's off a little.
Clearly you can do this with the mouth, eyes, whole face, etc.
Example:

How to add a black censor bar to a face that moves with the face?

Please tell me how to do that
I have final cut pro x

Does it have to be a black censor bar? if not look at the Censor effect.
If it has to be a black bar. Make the bar using a Custom generator in Solids. Crop it to whatever size you want using the Crop function in the Viewer. Use the Transform function in the Viewer to position. You can keframe the crop and transform functions to animate the bar as needed.

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?

Smart Album to show pics with no faces, & any photos that iPhoto no faceID

Hi, I've just started to use iPhoto 09, after a long long time getting to know my iMac, and organising my iTunes library...
I want a smart album to show photos which have no faces, but also to have photos which iPhoto has not picked up that a photo needs a "face ID" on, what I mean is, if a person is turned away to to the side, iPhoto might not pick up that it needs to be a "face" and so wont show up in the normal smart album Photo>is>unnamed
if anyone can help, would be great, I'm busy slowly importing my photos, and what to do this one step at a time
cheers

A smart album with the criteria "Face is unnamed" will find any photo with an unnamed face on it. It can be either one with a named face or two but at least one unnamed face or a photo with no faces named.
There is workaround to get what you want.
1 - add a keyword, face, to any photo you name a face in.
2 - create a smart album with the criteria "Keyword is not face".
This will identify any photo with no face at all. If you've not added any other keywords to photos you can create the smart album above and then sort by keyword. Those with both a face and unnamed face will have the keyword face and can be sorted to the top or bottom of the list.

I have a photo with 25 faces. I have named 17 with no problem but the remaining 8 names I am unable to make them stick. I go through the process (have done it thousands of times) and no luck. I have shut down the computer, I have unplugged it, I have turned iPhoto off and nothing will allow me to name these remaining photos. I type in the name and click RETURN and the name holds, I close the photo and bring it back and the name is gone. I have done this dozen of times - still no luck. I have a few other photos of groups and the same thing is happening with just a few of the faces. All the faces are clear, same size and no different in clarity than the other faces. I have tried changing the size of the "box" around the photo to name it - still no luck.
I am on the ground floor so I can not throw the computer out the window.

Im wondering why my post hasn't been answered yet. I did file a report with the BBB and I had a rude representative from Verizon call me named Steve. He said I can file all of the reports I want and I will just keep getting calls from him. I can understand why my phone couldn't be replaced because of the small crack. I guess I have to eat that one (but it sucks because the lollipop update is what caused the problems) but what about all of the data overage I had to pay for for trying to fix this phone because of a lollipop update. I dont think it is fair to have to pay that as well. In addition, because I have an east coast phone number but live on the west coast, I cannot have tech support after 8pm. Verizon has cut this off. Im very dissatisfied and I have been a customer of Verizon for 13 years. Im hoping for a response this time.

When I burn dvd in iPhoto, it comes out with original photo plus separate close up photos of each face in original photo. How do I get it to stop doing that?

I am reading this post in the iphoto for iOS forum. The iPad does not burn photos to a DVD. Perhaps you'll get some assistance if you posted in th general iPhoto forum.

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.

Issue with Apple Camera VendorID_0x106B ProductID_0x1570 green light blinks continually...camera does not work in photo booth or face time

Green light blinks continually...camera does not work in photo booth or face time.Any suggestions?

Hi Rogerya,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you may be experiencing issues with the built-in FaceTime camera (also known as iSight) on your MacBook Air. The following resource provides relevant troubleshooting information that you can try:
How to Troubleshoot iSight - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2090
Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
Built-in iSight cameras
These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
1. See if the issue is application-specific.
Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
2. See if the issue is user-specific.
Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
3. Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
4. Reset SMC or PMU
Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Hundreds of photos in my library with just faces

I was going through my photos today and noticed that I have hundreds of photos in the library where the photo is just the face. It is almost as if facetime took over and cut the rest of the photo out and just has the face. This is really strange. Not sure what to do. Anyone have any advice?

Did you see those file via the Finder's "Search For" - All Images feature? Those are the mini images that of just faces in photos that iPhoto creates for use with it's Faces feature.
There is nothing for you to do. They are just part of the overhead of the iPhoto library like the thumbnail and database files.
You don't need to go thru the Finder to access photos in the library as that can cause damage to the library.
The following is from one of +*Terence Devlin’s posts on file access*+ for use outside of iPhoto. It’s the definitive treatise on the subject.
Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Accessing the iPhoto Library Folder directly has never been supported in any version of iPhoto.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For Users of 10.5 and later
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
For users of 10.4 and later ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
All of the above are a: faster and b: Safer than rooting around in the old Library Folder.

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

IPhoto 9.5.1 face recognition slow with large number of photos ( 20,000)

I have a new fast Imac with new Iphoto 9.5.1. I have >20,000 photos. When I use face recognition with people who have >50 photos associated with them, the rolling ball continues for 20-40 seconds. I didn't have this with the same number of photos with my old Imac2009 with Iphoto 9.4.3, 2011.
Thanks.

That is probably still the initial setup for face recognition for you new iPhoto version. Once the "Faces" database has been rebuild, the performance should get better. Give it a day or two. If the problem persists, back up your iPhoto library and rebuild it.
Hold down the key combination alt/option- command ⌥⌘ firmly and double click the iPhoto library to launch the First Aid Tools. Keep holding down the keys, until you are seeing the First Aid Panel. Select the entry "Rebuild Database" from the panel and click "Rebuild".

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.
