click on the persons name and edit

it will come up on the right hand side of the screen and there is a heading photo and on the right upload

it will put the photo in your keepsafe and will show when you come out of the profile of the person and then go back in again.

you have to have scanned your picture into your PC already of course!!

Think you need to do an edit on the original photo and cut and clip it

Am on my iPad so can't check that out I,m afraid

Shirley is probably right - there doesn't seem to be a GR function to highlight a head shot.

Before you crop the original on your own computer, make sure you copy it first and isolate/crop the head on the duplicate
