Hi Patricia,

Assuming you've already uploaded the photos and tagged the appropriate people, here are the steps:

1. Go to the profile of the person whose profile photo you want to change
2. Click the Media tab
3. Click "View All" to the right of the "Photos of <name>" heading
4. Click on the photo that you want to be the new profile photo
5. Click the "Set Proflie Photo" button below the title (note that hovering your mouse over this button clarifies that it will set it as that person's profile photo, rather than your own -- this is because you access the photo from that person's profile)

good luck!

Slightly quicker is to click their profile photo -- I should have checked our own help site first! http://help.geni.com/entries/20015877-how-can-i-change-a-profile-ph...

As i posted several weeks ago, it is extremely cumbersome to change profile photos, since the screen that pops up after you upload the new photo does not give you an easy step to the page where you can select the new photo as the profile photo. Should be easy to fix, if you want to do it.
