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.

Adobe - are you going to fix this or prefer to give people the runaround trying to work it out??
As eople dont accept that this program CAN"T manually tag people so they continually waste there time and support wastes their time on a solution that is NOT there!

Putting a name as a keyword IS NOT a solution Adobe!! 
Not if you want to market this program as a photo organising app!

Thank you. But don’t know how the forum works. I’ll just hope someone from Adobe follows up.

Make sure you upvote this consolidated issue.

Adobe somewhat appears to listen to customers. But some items seem to always be ignored...

Maybe @peter-b8062983  or someone else from Adobe can step in and explain...

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Version 5.5

Various platforms including Windows and IOS

10,000 + photo's

For about 95% of my photo's the facial recognition works and small faces are shown with no name which I am then able to fill in.

For an annoying 5% it doesn't and there is no way I can find, on a particular photo, to get facial recognition to work.

About 12 years ago using Google Picasa it was possible to draw a square around someone's face and then add a name to it.  Could something along these lines be added to Lightroom?

Here is a photo for which Lightroom can identify no faces

Any chance for a follow up since we have beat up on the others here?

It is truly crazy that this isn't an option.

A simple "Rescan for faces" to apply face recognition again on selected picture(s) and "Add faces" to click on the missed ones would be perfect.

I have spent hours trying to figure out how to add People tags that were missed and finally found this thread.  I find it insane that this is not a feature since a) apparently it was easy in Lightroom Classic;  b)  it's extremely easy in a simple program like Apple Photos.   I had made the decision to migrate all photos to Lightroom (cloud) because I love the interface, but this is a big deterrent of that.  I realize I can use Keywords, but who wants to have to go back and keyword every picture with the person's name?  For $9.99/mo, I would expect this would be a no brainer.
