P: Assign People tags to pictures that were missed

I have many pictures for which i honestly do not see how the best AI on earth could ever identify the person.

Some examples include: the person is below or covered with water, the person's face is too much turning away or has a low hat (or hood, or helmet), the person is small & far in the picture, the person is simply turning his back on the picture (but you still want it tagged), the person has some objects partially in front of his face....

and in addition you have all the pictures where the person's face is upside down, for which i can hope that one day AI will recognise these correctly, but we're not there yet.

I too would like this feature added. I find Lightroom missing a lot of faces that are clear and easy to identifiy. It would be interesting to see what things make indexing look at a face and think...this is not a face... but the soccer ball at the bottom of the screen must be aunt Trina. 

agree with @saar32198266p15i 

This is urgent now

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.
