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.

@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.

@Rikk 

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?

I just signed up for Lightroom CC and this is such a major disappointment.  I was liking most things until now.  At least I am still within my trial.

How to add photos to "People" in Lightroom?

Could explain a bit more about what you are trying to do? The "People" section is automatically populated with all the faces that have been detected by the face recognition software. All faces that have been named, and all unnamed faces that contain at least five instances of the same face, will appear in the People section. It's not possible to manually draw a face recognition frame that the software did not detect, is that what you are wanting to do?

Jim, thanks for your reply.

When I add new pictures  (new people) to my photos file they appear in the photo display. however, they do not appear in the people display. How do I get the sw to rescan the photo file so that the new pictures are added to the people section?

Try Mylio.  Good for face tagging, and protecting your photos automatically but a bit simplistic for editing.  Save to metadata if you want your face tags to be usable in other applications.  By default, Mylio writes them to .xmp sidecars.
