Assuming the faces feature worked correctly, would I be able to have iPhoto process my photos, identify the faces and then tag each image accordingly so that I could search within my Aperture library for images of a specific person?

It is really hit or miss and caused me to spend WAYYY too much time manually tagging photos, JUST HOPING that it would help IPhoto along and make it work better. Not the case, and I ended up wasting 3 hours of my life. I will use IPhoto, because it is what I use, but don't buy it just for the face recognition. Usually when Apple touts a feature, it is done right, but in this case it is a miss. I did not have much success with face recognition.

I can't figure out how to then integrate that data with photos in iPhoto. I'm assuming it should assign the location to photos taken at the same or nearly the same time, but so far that's not happening. I'm suspecting you'd readily know how to make that happen? for those of us using iLife 09 and not aperture, could you post a few words on how to utilize gpx data (I can use an iPhone App to download that data file to my computer) with iPhoto?

Some folks are reporting pretty good results - but then, good is relative. Winnie, you may want to try it yourself. Some folks are reporting pretty good results – but then, good is relative.

I'm using Aperture, too, and was thinking about buying ilife '09 just because of face detection. But if it is that unreliable I think I will wait until it is integrated in Aperture (hopefully in an improved version). But when will this be? Thanks for this very helpful review.
