Fixing a Mistaken Face
At some point, you're certain to make a mistake and assign an incorrect name to a face, or iPhoto may assign a name to a face incorrectly despite your training (I haven't seen this happen yet, but I assume anything is possible). There are various ways to fix face recognition mistakes.
Ways to fix a misrecognized face:
- When browsing through a person's identified photos (double-click a snapshot in the Faces corkboard),
-click an incorrect photo and choose This Is Not "Name" from the contextual menu (Figure 4.11).
Figure 4.11 Control-click a mistaken photo and choose This Is Not "Name" from the contextual menu.
- When browsing through a person's identified photos, select one or more photos and press
.
- In confirmation mode, click incorrectly recognized photos above the bar to reject them (Figure 4.12).
Figure 4.12 In confirmation mode, click already-recognized photos to fix mistaken recognition.
- When you're naming faces in photos, if you come across an incorrect one, just enter the correct name (Figure 4.13).
Figure 4.13 When naming photos, you can always enter a new name for an incorrectly recognized face.

TIPS
- When in confirmation mode, you can -click a suggested face, which displays a contextual menu with Confirm, Reject, and Name items. Choose Name to enter the correct name for the suggested face without leaving confirmation mode.
- Using when browsing through a person's identified photos does not delete the photo, it merely tells iPhoto to disassociate the person's name with the photo.
- Removing the last identified photo from the collection of photos associated with a person removes their name from the Faces corkboard.
