Identify Faces in Your Photos

iPhoto’s Faces feature enables you to use facial recognition to automatically identify the people in your photos. First, you identify a face and teach iPhoto the name for it. Second, iPhoto scans your other photos for instances of the same face. Third, you check through the photos iPhoto has found, confirm the matches, and reject the misses.

After identifying faces, you can browse your photos by them, or use them to create albums, slide shows, or other collections.
