Faces and Organize Mode
Most of your initial time with Faces will be spent teaching iPhoto how to recognize your friends and family. What do you do with Faces after that's done?
The slightly confusing fact about Faces is that when you're browsing a person's photos via the Faces corkboard, you're in organize mode, with only two slight differences.
Differences from organize mode:
- When browsing faces, click the View controls to toggle between showing full photos (Figure 4.16) and close-ups (Figure 4.17).
Figure 4.16 With the View control at the left side of the toolbar toggled to the left, you see full photos when browsing a person's photos in Faces.
Figure 4.17 Click the View control's right-hand button and you see only close-ups when browsing a person's photos in Faces.
- As you take more photos that may not be recognized automatically, use the Confirm Name button to continue iPhoto's training.

TIPS
- Remember, since you're essentially in organize mode when browsing a person's photos in Faces, you can use those photos as the source for photos for a slideshow, book, calendar, or Web album.
- Since Faces can't identify people who aren't facing the camera, consider using keywords that are the same as your display names and making smart albums that collect all the photos of a person.
