massive numbers of unwanted "snapshots"?
running iPhoto '09 8.1.2, the Faces "feature" seems to have created thousands of pictures (are they called "snapshots"?) from my photos, mainly faces that are out of focus. If there is a picture of a choir with 46 people in it, it creates portrait pictures of every face it can find. It creates snapshots out of architectural pictures. It seems to increase the number of "snapshots" every time I add a new photo. It also seems to create lower resolution copies of my originals. I have read previous threads about problems with the Faces feature. My question is whether there is a way to simply group all of my original photos together, separate from the lower res pictures the software seems to have created.
The software is unusable; I would just like to recover my original photos.
thanks.
