i bought this MBP late last year and import iPhoto Library from old MBP. Faces feature has created many thousands small photos capturing just faces of people in the photos.
It also created lots of duplicated photos.
How to delete these photos in batch?
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
nd import iPhoto Library from old MBP
Sounds like you imported one Library to another.
Do you still have the origina library?
Yes, I do keep the original library.
Still wondering why Faces create zoomed face photos from people in my library which make thousands of new photos in my library.
and again
Sounds like you imported one Library to another.
Assuming you did drag that bad library to the desktop and then drag the old library to the pictures folder of the new machine and launch iPhoto - do NOT import an old library into iPhoto ever - it does not work and creates a massive mess

Importing was exactly what I did.
Will do what you suggested and share with you later.
Thanks to both Larry and Terrence :)
Larry,
Sorry for the delay. I have tried copy the iPhoto Library from the old MB via the external HDD as following screenshot.
However, when i plug this exrternal HDD to the new MBP. it turned out to bew the folder as photo attached below. I am not sure if this is because they use different version or not (but i guess not).
pls advice.
What is the format of the EHD?
LN
Larry,
I am not sure. How do i check what format it is?
select it in the finder and get info
LN
Larry,
It is NTFS format.
Should i reformat the HDD or how do i copy iPhoto Library to NTFS HDD?
Thanks 🙂
The iPhoto library can not be on a NTFS drive. It must always by on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)
LN
Larry,
please advise how i reformat the HDD?
You can reformat a disk with Disk Utility, in your Applications/Utilities folder.
Remember that reformatting a disk will erase it, so be sure to back up important contents first. Also be aware that the disk may no longer work with Windows machines.
Terrence,
Thanks. let me back up the data later tonight and will then reformat HDD and try copy the iPhoto Library again 🙂
Dear Terence and Larry,
Have formatted HDD and copy the iPhoto Library to Pictures folder already.
Everything is fine now. Happy happy 🙂
Big thanks to both of you. 😎
Good. You are welcome

iPhoto's Faces has created duplicate photo, events, and small photos capturing just faces
