Lightroom 5 is out.... IS THERE FACIAL RECOGNITION?

yeah because that has worked so well in the past years. 

you guys still believe the "focus on" nonsense you come up with?

oh yeah i see .... you rather spend on upgrade after upgrade to get closer to the speed you should have from the start then new features.... ingenious!!

Thank you, then no sale for the lazy adobe team

I'm absolutely astounded.  I have spent many hours learning Lightroom 5.  I took the Adobe courses; I took Steel Training.  I have spent many, many hours rating my photos and sorting them and creating smart collections.  I couldn't find facial recognition; nor could I find a way to write a description of a photo, something more than a few tags.  Last night I was working on my Mac Air, and I found to my utter amazement that not only does it have most all the same controls as lightroom for improving and editing a photo, and not only can I write a narrative about what we were doing and what the event was all about, but it asked me to label a face!  Then, the iPhoto told me it located 176 other photos with that face. it asked if I wanted to confirm them.  With a startling degree of accuracy, it displayed all the photos of that face and more.  All I had to do was CONFIRM or indicate that the face was NOT the same person.  It identified MY photo with and without a beard, mustache, hair, (and now 40 years later) bald.  It was absolutely unbelievable.  I didn't care that it had a few photos of my kids!  THey LOOK like me in facial bone structure.  It was amazing. 

Look ADOBE.  I don't have time to label 45000 old photos to find and designate one at a time with Keywords designating my various family members.  USE MATH! USE PROBABILITY.  It's obvious that the most recurring faces are my family and I don't mind labeling hundreds at a time while indicating the occasional error.  STOP trying to make your program perfect and give us facial recognition.  If it's not coming soon, let me know.  I am done fooling around trying to label thousands of old photos with the names of the people in them. 

As to the ability to write a brief narrative about a photo, I guess there must be a way, but after going through your videos and those of Phil Steele, I have yet to find it.  Don't you want to say something like - "After the wedding, we went over to Joe's place and played cards all night.  We were so wrecked for work on Monday."  You CANT put that in Key words alone.  How do I write my story!???   

Now I have to give up all I've put into the rating systems, and learning how to store photos in external drives, and backing up, etc.  becuase there is NO WAY I CAN JUSTIFY KEEPING YOUR PROGRAM when I can get the same photo manipulations tools PLUS narrative space AND facial recognition on MAC INCLUDED IN THE COST OF THE COMPUTER. 

I'd like to stay with you; please advise WHEN, if ever, YOU are going to release FR.  I don't care if it's perfect!  It's just a numbers game; give me 85 or 90% accuracy to lighten the load. 

Thanks!
