how does the people function work in photos

In the past there was a file of unidentified faces in the people pane in photos. I Don't know how itv works now. I just obtained a picture of my Grandmother who dies in 1939. There is no other picture in the photo file. How can I name the face and put it in my favorites?

Which system version do you have installed on your Mac?


In Photos 5 on Catalina you can show an album with all automatically named faces, that have not yet a name assigned.

Create a smart album (File > New smart album). Then set the rule to "Person is " and leave the name field empty.
