P: Assign People tags to pictures that were missed

Once the indexing has been completed and Lightroom CC has found all the potential faces, it would be nice to have the ability to add People Tags to pictures that were "missed" where no faces were recognized.  The idea of People Tags is to be able to search for people and generate all potential results.  Right now it's messy because you have to resort to keyword tags to identify people that were missed with facial recognition and makes searching and cataloging a tedious task.

The inability to manually add a face is such a strange omission from Lightroom.

I'm organizing a photo collection using lightroom Cloud for my business and find it infuriating I can't manually add a face tag for staff. While coming to grips with using Lightroom, I accidentally deleted a lot face data for photos of one staff member and now the People section only has them in 4 photos. Why can't I fix this? The lack of fine-grain manual control is hardly user friendly.

Adobe / Rikk: Your paying customers want updates, not platitudes. Stop with this "we understand the issue" nonsense. As previously stated, for two years now, the problem is not poor facial recognition. What we want is manual tagging for photos where faces will never be recognized. Stop dancing around. At best, you look foolish. At worst, you're ignoring your customers. Businesses that do this typically fail. Get your act together.

Give us a concrete update.

I've been using Lightroom to organize the photo collection for business and I am trying to tag staff members. I accidentally made it tag certain staff using just their first name in lower case. It's infuriating I can't alter the tag setting itself to make it their full name. I have to manually go through each photo and give it a new tag. One of them I accidentally removed and now it won't let me select them in that photo at all. 

You are making it less user friendly by taking away fine manual control. This stuff should be so simple. Why is it so fiddly?

Late to the discussion, but now in the process of reverting back a migration of 30k+ photos from Classic to Adobe Lightroom/Lightroom/CC/Whatever it's now called due to this exact issue.

As I'm facing a daunting migration, I'm seriously looking at Lightroom competitors ATM.... :{

Isn't it easier to develop the ability to manually tag a person than improving the AI?
Why not code the manual tagging feature first - and make your customers happy - and then try to improve the AI?

Also, from a commercial point of view, I don't think it makes sense to try to beat other companies that are far more powerful in the AI arena. I don't think Adobe will ever be capable of beating companies like Google or Facebook, that are fully committed to focus their business in Machine Learning and AI for the next couple of years and that are way ahead. Better to differentiate. If I wanted a powerful AI backed photo software I would be using Google Photos. But I want a software with powerful editing capabilities, that's why I'm using Adobe's. Ironically, I can't edit my people's tag correctly.

I doubt it will, but please do! Maybe if enough of us do this it will make a difference.

Ah! Too much multi-tasking today caused me to misread and confuse Classic and CC. C'est la vie!
