Q: How do I change the highlighted face in Photos?

In Photos, while approving the selected Faces, the highlighted face is often the incorrect person because my children look alike. If I click on the photo, it rejects it. I don't want to reject it because the person I am trying to name IS in the photo. The circle is just on the wrong person. Is there a way to move the circle to highlight the correct person?

    You cannot move the circles that Photos has found. Reject it as the suggested person and wait for the other face to be shown later, as you step the unnamed faces.

     

    If you enable the option "Show faces names" in the View menu, you can see all faces circles  for a photo at once, when you enlarge a photo.

    You can then enter all names directly into the textfields below the face.

    I prefer to name the faces by opening a moment and stepping from photo to photo.  The way I am seeing the photos in context, know all faces that have been found, and can add missing faces circles from the Info panel.
