Faces and Slide Shows

iPhoto’s ability to recognize faces doesn’t stop with the Faces feature. With slide shows, iPhoto tries to position photos containing faces in ways that don’t omit part of a face. The automatic Ken Burns move will try to avoid facial damage, for example, as will the Sliding Panels theme. There’s no tip here—just a little nod to the Apple engineers who sweated that detail.
