So, iPhoto..

- Places seems to work pretty good.
- Flickr Sync works fine.
- Facebook sync requires you enter your friends email addresses into Faces on iPhoto to tag them properly. I can understand this I suppose, but it means if your friends don't have email addresses listed, you can't tag them and link to their profile
- But they only deal with their own albums. You can't add a photo to a pre-existing set in Facebook or Flickr that wasn't created with iPhoto

Faces is the main new feature. It's not perfect, but it works.

- Confusing to get started. You need to find a photo of a person and say who it is. You aren't presented with a gallery of unique people identified. I suppose that is needed to stop you having to delete random bystanders. Good batch handling, sorting by number of photos the match is found in, etc, seems like it could help with that problem though
- With lots of good quality source photos, it can match pretty well
- "Mis"-matches are often cousins, parents, siblings, etc
- Successful matching age 10 photos of someone who I have lots of age 20 photos of. Pretty impressive
- The more identified Faces you have, the less accurate it seems in tagging, but in reality it has more information, so does better quality matches
- Good batch approval of matches for a person, but no easy way to batch reject faces as not of a person, or say "No, this is x"
- Rotating photos while you're adding faces doesn't work, but tries its hardest.. and just changes the aspect ratio
- Faces scrubbing much much slower than iPhoto Events scrubbing
- It clearly is optimised for photos with 0-3 faces in there. This photo, for example, made it crap its pants.

Pop quiz..


Same person, yes or no? iPhoto Faces thought it was, do you?
