Photos Staying in Imports

Photos scans pictures and finds what it thinks are faces. You can see the names in a picture if you go to "View>Show Face Names." But at first they will say "unnamed," since it doesn't know who's who.

If you click in the "unnamed" field on a picture, you can type a name, and Photos will make a person album and try to gather all the similar people into that album, changing "unnamed" to the name. Sometimes Photos gets it wrong, of course.

If you see someone in a picture that Photos hasn't recognized as a face, then you can add a name by opening the Info window (⌘i) and choosing the little circle with a + sign. A circle appears on the picture, and you can move it to the right person and enter a name.

Much of that can be found in this article.
