When I add a name to a photo and hit "Return", I can't position the circle over the face because a small version of the entire picture moves with my cursor.
I read two articles: "Cannot move the 'Click to Name' circle...", and Old Toad's reply. I hesitate to try the "safe mode" strategy because I worry it will mess with my fonts, etc.

when you cannot adjust the faces circle, two things usually may help.
if none of this works, restart the mac. If even a normal restart does not work, use safe mode. It will clear some caches. Then restart normally. Photos does not work fully in safe mode.
You mention custom fonts. check your fonts carefully, if they are still compatible with Ventura. Legacy fonts may be causing system problems. Install only fonts, that are supported and try to find supported versions of older fonts.

Thanks leonie,
I first tried "zapping the PRAM", and it worked.
On just a couple occasions I got the old problem of a tiny version of the photo moving with my cursor. In that case I took your advice about clicking outside the circle and I was then able to move the circle.
I'm saving your directions on using safe mode, I found all my fonts are compatible with Ventura.
Thanks again !
