P: Assign People tags to pictures that were missed

I am adding my vote on proritizing manual face tagging to Lightroom (not CC and not Classic)
the software missed a ton of faces in my pictures and I can not group them with the others, nor use them for compering facial recognition to other pics.
please add that feature.

How can you add someone’s face in a picture, who was not recognised ? Assign People tags to pictures that were missed by the algorithm is essential: Once the indexing has been completed and Lightroom CC has found all the potential faces, it is critical to have the ability to add People Tags to pictures that were "missed" where no faces were recognised. The algorithm will never be able to recognise 100% of appearances for one person. There will always be many cases for someone even in the middle of a sharp picture, which the algorithm cannot recognise: because it's a child with a tiger face mask, because the person is turning his back on the picture (and you still want to keep that picture), because he's swimming and covered with water - because he's too far (and small), and so on.... It is absolutely critical to: (i) be able to manually add one person / face to a photo, (currently, you can add a tag with a name but not a person, then you have 2 tags in LR for that person: 1 keyword + 1 person's tag. This is really suboptimal for searches). (ii) also, currently on the PC, LR shows you the people already recognised on the picture. So you know if someone is missing or not. However on the ipad, this is crucially missing.

@21062019 when can we expect this feature, pls ?

I find that masking stuff really useful.

What's not so useful is the whole face thing. Because:

- there was a bug where tagged people would get untagged (lot's of work I put in undone)

- no way to permanently tell LR "that bush is not a face" few hours later it's back as a face

- no way to jump to an album, I can search people but can't switch to the album that photo is in to check out other photos of this album (maybe even untagged ones)

Hello @peter-b8062983 I would also love the feature to manually add faces where Lightroom (not classic) misses them. I love the face recognition feature and use it every day. Please keep working on this! Keep up the good work!

Been waiting for this feature forever. Maybe one day my kids will see it. I don't think I'll see it in my lifetime because Adobe seems obsessed with its masking features which I almost never use. At this point I have so many missing Person tags in my photos I don't know that that metadata even matters anymore, it's so unreliable. Come on Adobe listen to your userbase.

+1 i am also still waiting for this feature...
I really hope this will come back some day.

Or at least a feature to tag a person that is in a picture.. even without a face recognition...
I just want to be able to search for pictures by name and see the pictures under the "Person" tab...

You can add keywords to pictures BUT that doesnt link the person to the picture.

Just let me link the person... no need to see their face...

Thanks!

Has there been any updates in manual people selection? In photos where no face was recognized, clicking on the Keyword icon at the lower right corner only reveals the "Keywords" panel. This happens even in some photos were multiple people are clearly visible. Lightroom is amazing at detecting incredibly small, blurry and even obscurred faces in most cases. In other photos, it is unable to recognize a face looking right at the camera without obstruction, and with considerable detail.

If that really is Adobe's target audience I think it's not exactly the audience they got. Why use Lightroom for photos you take with an iPhone? Apple Photos already integrates perfectly for pictures taken on iPhone and can do 99% of what most people want to do. You use lightroom if you have a DSLR/Mirrorless full body camera. Usually the workflow is to take the memory card and upload photos on the computer. The mobile feature is nice to have to make edits on photos you've pulled off or refer back to your library. But to keep the library organized you absolutely need people tagging capabilities.

On this aspect I waffle. When you consider that a significant aspect of the target market is more likely my kids who are phone/tablet focused; the way the People feature works does make sense. Again, I do not agree with the selected features, and I think it is kinda weak even in the implementation, but I do believe I follow the likely use case Adobe was considering.

@Timothy.SpearFair enough, I agree that was an exaggeration.  But, I would suggest the capability I'm talking about never should have been included as-is.  To me, that's an indication that the product team either doesnt' understand how users use the product...or just wanted to deliver a feature knowing it is not very useable.
