![]() IPhoto can read embedded longitude and latitude data to recognize such landmarks as the Eiffel Tower. If you shot pictures with an iPhone or another GPS-capable digital camera, location or "geotagging" information is automatically captured by iPhoto as pictures are imported. As the name suggests, the Places feature in iPhoto lets you find all the pictures you took by the Brandenburg Gate, Grand Canyon or some other locale. Click a name button when a photo is selected, and iPhoto may ask of a face, "Is this Mom?" Click a checkmark to indicate yes, or an "x" to say it isn't and type in another name. Later, iPhoto will scan your library to find other faces in your collection it thinks match those you've tagged. You must assign a name tag the first time iPhoto turns up a certain face. You can also create "Smart Albums" to easily find photos of family members. Or roll your mouse over the snapshot representing a face to rapidly skim through the other images you have of that person. Double-click on a face to see all the underlying images - convenient when you're trying to find just the right image of your kid. In the handsome Faces view, a single snapshot is shown on a corkboard for every person whose face you've identified. Google's Picasa, among other programs, has some version of face recognition. The concept isn't new, though it's still in its infancy. The Faces feature uses face detection and recognition technologies to locate actual mugs (the process is done in the background) and determine who the people are. The new iPhoto goes well beyond that by letting you organize and search for pictures based on who is in them and where they were shot. ![]() So you could segregate pictures by a kid's birthday party or college reunion. In the previous version, iPhoto automatically grouped images into "Events," each with a day's collection of pictures unless you specified otherwise. ![]()
