How to never have photos tagged in Facebook

I use Faces to help me find photos of people. I use Facebook integration to share albums. But I don't want to tag people in photos on Facebook. I noticed in the last album uploaded that all kinds of people were tagged without me knowing. How I can I prevent that from happening, other than stopping publishing Facebook albums using Aperture?

When you export your albums from aperture to a folder on your disk, and upload them from the folder to Facebook, you can prevent the inclusion of faces:

Aperture menu -> Preferences -> Export

uncheck "Include face info" in exported photos.


I cannot check, if this would also stop faces from being uploaded to facebook, when you upload directly, since I do not have a facebook account.

Hi Kirby and Léonie. Thanks! I have now unchecked that setting. Unfortunately, when I then ran a test upload to Facebook, when I then hovered my cursor over the person's face in Facebook his name appeared. I definitely don't want that to happen.


So Léonie, I will revert to your method -- avoiding use of Facebook integration in Aperture -- unless someone posts a way to prevent people's names from uploading.
