Deleting People from Faces
If you've assigned names to people who appear only once or twice in your entire photo library, it may not be worth having them cluttering your Faces corkboard. It's easy to remove a person from Faces.
To delete a face:
From the Faces corkboard, drag a person's snapshot to the Trash in the source pane (Figure 4.18), or select a snapshot and press
.
Figure 4.18 Drag snapshots you don't want on the corkboard any more to the Trash icon in the source pane.
iPhoto prompts to make sure you really want to delete the person from Faces (Figure 4.19).
Figure 4.19 Click Delete Face to confirm that you really want to delete the person from the Faces corkboard.
- When browsing through a person's identified photos, select all the photos and press
. Alternatively, 
-click the selection and choose This Is Not "Name" from the contextual menu.

TIPS
- When you use the second method above, iPhoto doesn't prompt you at all.
- Deleting a snapshot from the Faces corkboard removes the name from photos, but does not delete the photos themselves.
- Remember that you can rearrange the snapshots on the corkboard by dragging them, making it less necessary that you delete little-represented people. I recommend putting your most frequent photo subjects at the top.
