    Hi keygraphics,

     

     

     

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

     

     

     

    I see that you're unable to find the Faces album in your iMac's Photos app after updating to the latest OS. I use the Faces feature too so I know how important it is you're able to access this.

     

     

     

    The Photos Help guide will direct you to the right spot, specifically, this section:

     

     

     

    View faces in your library

    1. Click Albums in the toolbar, then double-click the Faces album.

      Faces that appear in a lot of your photos appear at the top of the Faces album, in large circles. To promote a face to this group of “favorites,” drag it to the top row. You can also drag a face from your favorites to the bottom row, so it appears in a smaller size.

      Tip: Choose View > Sort, then choose Keep Sorted By Name to sort faces alphabetically.

    2. Double-click a face to see the photos of that person.

    Additionally, when you use iCloud Photo Library, these faces automatically update on all your devices.

     

    Tag faces in Photos to find people on all your devices

     

     

     

    Cheers!
