Q: When I try to add a photo or edit a photo in my contacts, it won't bring up "Faces"

I am trying to add or edit a photo in my Contacts, but when I click on Faces it doesn't bring up any of my "Faces" from iPhoto.

    When you add Faces in iPhoto, add first the name to your Contacts. Then quit the Contacts app, and use the name from the Contacts to name the face in iPhoto. Quit iPhoto.

     

    When you now open the Contacts again and open the card from contact you used for an iPhoto face, you will see all faces assigned to that contact.

     

    For example:

    • I first created the card "Peter Mohn".
    • Then I named a Face with "Peter Mohn", using the suggestion from the Contacts.
    • Now I can add a photo using the named face.
