Assign names to faces in your photos
1 In the Browser, select a photo with people in it.
2 Click the Name button in the toolbar.
Face labels appear below the faces of the people in the photo in the Viewer.
3 Click the face label below a person’s face and enter the person’s name in the text eld.
As you enter the person’s name, names that have already been assigned to faces, as well as
names in your Contacts, are suggested in the face label.
Note: If you want to limit the suggestions to faces you’ve already named in the project, select
the “Limit suggestions to project” checkbox.
4 When you’re satised with the person’s name in the face label, press Return.
The person’s name appears in the face label.
5 Enter a name in the face label for each person in the photo, then click Done.
Add missing faces
If there are faces in a photo that Aperture doesn’t detect, you can still add face labels to the faces
and assign them names.
1 If necessary, click the Name button in the toolbar.
2 In the Name Faces HUD, click the Add Missing Face button.
A positioning box appears with a face label below it.
3 Drag the positioning box over the face you want to name, and resize the box so that it contains
just the face.
4 Enter a name in the face label and press Return.
5 Repeat steps 2 through 4 until all faces lacking face labels in the photo have been named.
6 After identifying all the faces in the photo, click Done.
