Face recognition: adding new faces

Question

I am running Elements 2024 under Windows 11 and am going through a large number of scanned slides. I import them in batches e.g. 2000 - 2024, 2015 - 2019 etc. Each batch has its own catalogue. I then create yearly albums within each batch. This allows me to work with one year at a time. I select People and name the faces that appear there. This helps me with tagging individuals, however, sometimes a scanned image will have a face which has not been recognised and as such does not have a name. Can I ask the program in retrospect to scan that image (face) which I can then name.

In this case, the face will show up in the People stack as a generic icon.

Hi John, did you ever solve this? I have a similar problem but in Elements 2025. Thanks
