Adding a Missing Face

Sometimes, iPhoto isn’t able to recognize that a face is a face. This can happen if a face is in profile, if someone’s head was tilted significantly, or if the photo was taken in poor or unusually colored light. (To appreciate why iPhoto can miss faces in these circumstances, see page 28.)

The solution: add the face by hand.
