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.

No updates here on this feature request.  Agree with you Tim that AI is best when supplemented with user interaction.

Any updates? It has been six months since you were going to "investigate".

Again a reminder, stop letting perfect be the enemy of good. drop the fricking AI, and allow for manual tagging.

I too would like to see this feature. I would like to be able to manually tag a person, even if their back is to the camera, etc., so I can find them later.

Any news here? I have a lot of people in my database, for me it would already be a huge help if I could selected unnamed / recognized persons and give them a name in the info of a single photo.

Down where all recognized persons are listed. Just allow us to tap and name them.

This would help with.
A: That I'm not going to find this person ever on my own in the large/complete unnamed persons list.

B: I could unclutter multiple persons LR thinks are the same by naming them per picture and not per group (as this is impossible, its different people in one group, I can never say that its "this person" because its multiple persons..

@parato sorry to hear you've had a rough time with your migration. If we can help, please feel free to start a new thread. I should, however, just clarify that the cloud-based ecosystem is not designed to be a replacement for Lightroom Classic. It's a different program with a different target audience. This is a very good feature request for enhancement of the current feature set, but they haven't "removed" any features. Lightroom Classic still has the features it's always had, and continues to be developed as a separate product. If you're missing specific features from your old workflow, then Lightroom Classic is probably still the best choice for you.

Step 1.  Hire competent Product Management.  Step 2. Look at your own legacy products.  Step 3.  Compare.  Step 4.  Replace missing features.

Your first priority should be MOVE THE PRODUCT FORWARD NEVER BACK.  It's like getting new version of microsoft Work without spell checking.  How would you like you next car without seat belts?

Investigating?  Did someone lose the source code, or lose their way back from the washroom?  What is there to investigate.  Manual face selection is a rectangular box.  Comeone, be honest with us.

I really do not understand your product management philosophy ... deleting essential features like manual face selection when creating a newer version of the product.  It is MANUAL for crying out loud.  Grab the old routine and get a summer intern to stick it into the next release.
I spent 3 WEEKS migrating from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom CC.  Your synch logic is atrocious.  Spent more hours talking with support than my family.  Had to restart many times, delete synch record files.
Then... once all my files are in place... SO MANY FEATURES MISSING?!?!  What is going on?  It's like Ford saying hey, we have this new clean electric car... but it drives like a model T.
I don't know if Adobe mangement have lost their minds of if Adobe product development hired programers don't work with photographs.
