Ever used iPhoto and thought to yourself “I wish it did…”, well I just installed the new iLife ’11, which includes iPhoto 9.
I decided to play around with Faces, and update a few photos… not exactly the quickest process! Anyhow, I found a tip to speed things up: make a smart folder which shows “Face is unnamed”. Now you can go in and name faces, and once you do it jumps to the next photo. You can use tab to goto the next name field in a photo (or shift-tab to go backwards) put the name in, hit enter and it will goto the next photo. I have also been deleting face fields where I do not want to deal with identifying people.
So what is my wish? Simple: if the photo is dated before the birth date of a person in your Address book, then do not show that name.
Yes I could type it in manually, but don’t show it as an autofill option. It would make filling names in so much easier for me.
Ok, ok. I’m biased, both of my kids names start with a J!
I’m guessing the opposite would be useful as well, for someone who has passed away. Mind you Address Book does not have a field for that!
Have you found any tricks to make using Faces easier?
