Hello, I'm using LR Classic (14.1.1) and am a long time user.
I've got all my business images in my catalog but also my personal images (the folder structure is quite separated so I can see which is which easily).
I've taken time to go through and detect people on all of my personal images. I've also gone through and named the people that I want to be named.
If I go to my "Personal" folder and click O to go to "People" view I can see groups of people.
I could click on a face - e.g. Jim. At the top of the view I can also see Jim's full name and I can click that. Let's say it brings up 15 images of Jim. All I see is the head, the face region, on each photo of Jim.
I could click each photo of Jim and go E to go to Loupe view. What I'd really like to do is see all of the images of Jim in a collection so I can see them all in Grid view.
But more than that I'd then like to whittle down the 15 to say 5 of my favourites.
I can see that I could create a smart collection with Jim in the search parameters. But that won't detect just the ones where Face Detect has got a label for him - it will find any Jims that I've worked with in my business and labelled in Keywords too.
Similarly I'm called Mark and my name is on the metadata of all of my photos. How do I find the ones with my full name on and not other Marks - or indeed all of my photos... just the ones of me?
My purpose is that I'm trying to curate a set of my favourite photos of each of my family members. I'd like to have a collection (rather than a smart collection) that has my current favourites of my wife, my kids, my parents, myself, and be able to add to it over time and take away from it over time.
Eventually the "best of" set would be synchronised with the Lightroom Cloud so that I've immediately got my favourite pictures of my family on my phone.
Has anyone really got to grips with this and got a good workflow for it? All my attempts so far have been very clunky!
Thanks.
