Software Update: Apple iPhoto 8.1.1

Apple has released an update for the photo manager iPhoto ’09. The update has been given version number 8.1.1 and is just over 12MB in size. The ’09 release of iPhoto is part of iLife ’09. Among other things, the program is able to recognize faces and add geotags to photos. This release includes some improvements to facial recognition and now displays the correct image when a second generation iPod Touch is connected. The full changelog of this release looks like this:

faces

• Resolves an issue that could result in slow performance when displaying suggested matching faces.
• Addresses a face recognition issue that could result in some faces being matched incorrectly.
  Important: If you imported photos of people while using iPhoto 8.1, there’s an extra step you should take after installing the 8.1.1 update. Select all those photos, Control-click to open the contextual menu, and then choose Detect Missing Faces. This will redetect the faces in those photos and correct any face recognition issues introduced in iPhoto 8.1. You should not quit iPhoto during the Detect Missing Faces process.

Book order

• Resolves an issue that caused book order panel information to be displayed incorrectly in some languages

iPod touch Support

• Displays the icon for iPod touch (2nd Generation) correctly in the source list
