The Faces feature of iPhoto '09 does not seem to be working for me. I have manually identified a couple dozen faces in a large number of photos. However, iPhoto has only tentatively identified 3 or 4 photos.
If I select "Faces" in the sidebar and then double-click on a set of pictures from the corkboard -- for example, my wife -- iPhoto will put, at the top of the window, all of the pictures that I have manually identified. Below those, there is a horizontal divider with a down-pointing triangle, the text wifesname may also be in the photos below, followed by a blue circle in which there are two arrows "chasing each other" as if iPhoto is searching through its photo database for additional pictures that have my wife. However, it seems that no matter how long I leave iPhoto processing, it never finds additional pictures and the two arrows continue to endlessly chase each other.
I wonder if I've done something wrong or if there's a bug or if my photos are of such a low quality that iPhoto just cannot recognize faces.
Do I need to either erase a Preference file(s) and start over or even uninstall and reinstall iPhoto?
