iPhoto uses facial recognition to organize our photos based on who’s in them. With an Event or album selected, you click the new Name button in the toolbar to get started, iPhoto looks for faces in your photos, and you type in the name of each unknown face to “teach” the app to recognize your friends and loved ones. If it misses or selects wrong ones, you can draw frames around faces it misses or people who are facing away from the camera and tag them manually.
