thank you all for the replies 🙂 I do support the new approach to move to an all cloud (-first) environment and I am generally very impressed with search results when looking for a tree, or house or any other object. However, this is not yet true for tagging faces and recognising people, so I will stick to LR Classic as my main area of work to make sure I can find appropriate pictures later (and after years and years still remember who some of these people in the picture were!!) I can now confirm JimWilde approach, the way it works for me is as follows: Import pictures directly into LR Classic: 1) edit the picture, add keywords, etc. 2) hit cmd+s /ctrl+s to force LR to save the metadata 3) then add the image to a collection that is synced with LR mobile ==> all tags show up online and I can find people This is ok for me, as "people in pictures" don't tend to move around (unless of cause you are a student at Hogwarts), so adding keywords first works for me! If you are importing your pictures through the new LR CC, then 1) wait for the pictures and the new collection to show up in LR Classic (the picture shows up in the "Lightroom Mobile Images" folder, the collection in the Collection-set called "From Lr mobile). 2) remove the image from the collection, making sure it is also removed from all online devices 3) follow steps 1-3 from above! Thanks all for your awesome and quick replies! I would have hoped for some better communication from Adobe. I guess this just confirms that they were fully aware that this "implementation" would not impress anyone!
