P: Assign People tags to pictures that were missed

Hi

Thanks for your response. I don't want to draw anything to help the face recognition module to do his job. It's not gonna do it...All I wanna do, is to have the hability to manually match some photos (with no face recognition results) to persons. It will allow me to find the photos of my children even during the days of Halloween !!

Hi Adobe team,

I've been using Lightroom CC for one year now, on a PC and an iPad.

However great the software is, there seems to be a few critical features still missing.

One of them is the way people & faces are tags.

One thing you will never be able to prevent: the algorithm will never be able to recognise 100% of appearances for one person. There will always be many reasons 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 has swimming pool glasses

- because he's swimming and covered with water

- because he's too far (and small) on the picture

- because his head is upside-down on the picture

- and so on....

For all these reasons, some features are absolutely critical to add in Lightroom CC:

1. Most importantly: be able to manually add one person / face to a photo, even if Lightoom hasn't recognised that there was someone unknown to it. Currently, you can add a tag with a name, but then you have 2 tags in LR for that person: 1 keyword + 1 person's tag. This is really suboptimal for searches.

2. Currently, using LR on the PC, the software 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.

Many thanks for your help

In this thread you mention the focus is to enhance the facial recognition engine itself.

Although this has improved, it is still lacking. Therefore, at a minimum allowing the ability to tag individuals in the People section without using keywords and facial regions is foundational to solving this issue. Adding this feature will also do a lot to reduce the pressure to develop the "perfect" facial recognition AI.

Never let perfection be the enemy of good. You see this applied to many areas of LightRoom Desktop, why not to this part of the application?

@timothy_spear Make sure you are adding to and voting for those threads. Posting a separate thread when other exist falls through the cracks.

The ability to add missing people, even if Lr cannot find the associated facial region.

This is needed for searching and finding people in the images.

If we utilize keywords, than you will get duplication and other issues and make it harder to manage.

Will do. It is really one feature request, I just cover the related aspects, some of which have already been marked as "not planned:.

Please review https://feedback.photoshop.com/conversations/forum-usability-topics/how-to-requesting-features-ideas/5f5f46234b561a3d427589ba regarding making feature requests and consider splitting this post into multiple distinct requests.

Thanks. 

There are three separate issues.

1. The graphical tagging in the image (drawing the little rectangle on the image) when the AI misses a face.

2. Associating a name with the image under the special People area.

3. Order of people in the image

The first would only be useful when looking at the image inside Cloudy. As such, it is not very valuable to me.

The second is critical search and other related functions.

The third aspect, I have older photos where on the back, you have the people written out matching the order/position on the image.  I would somehow like to accomplish this with the people data, maybe the ability to add an order of the people in the image?

There's a little blue badge at the top that says "not planned". However the thread remains open for further votes, if it gets lots, they might change their minds.

Adobe, it appears you're ignoring every single one of us. What is the status?
