Unnamed Faces in photo with no faces

I have created a smart album to show all unnamed faces. Several of these images are showing '1 unnamed face' in the Info tab, however there are no squares to tag in the image itself. Is there anyway to correct this? My library has recently been repaired.

iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

This is probably too late for you but other may find it useful in the future.


This seems to be a fault within iPhoto, and Apple don't seem interested in fixing it as usual, the customer comes last.


Here is what you have to do.


First Create a Smart album that collates all Hidden Photos


Now go back to your Smart Album with "unnamed Faces" and Hide the ones that don't show the Face Square


Theses photos will now appear in the Hidden Smart Album.


Now Unhide them (Show ) them.



The unnamed face square will not usually appear in the photo .


If not, it maybe a cropping issue and the unnamed face is outside the cropped area.
