In this video, Derrick explains how to make a person a favorite in the People album in Photos for macOS Sierra.
- [Tutor] When I look at the thumbnails…of my people album,…I see the folks that I have selected as favorites,…and if I haven't selected anyone as a favorite,…then the application just picks the first four…and puts them here.…I want to make a change,…so I'm going to do that right now.…So I'm going to go ahead and open up my people album,…and I'm going to select my family as favorites.…I'm going to drag them right up here.…So let's start here with Theresa;…bring her right up here.…
There we go.…And now I can just add;…I add the two boys,…and then I will add me.…So the favorites are above the line…and then in my case,…friends are below the line…and I can show favorites only or I can show all.…An now when I go back to the albums of view,…you see that I have the family here.…So that's the way that I control that.…
You can put whomever you wish there.…However in my case, I like that.…Now if we decided to have another boy,…what I could do then is I could unfavor myself right here,…we could add the new boy,…and then those would be the pictures…
