Hi all,

I normally use LR Classic on pc but I am new to LRcc and to Apple ... and also to Face Recognition !

And I would like to know if it is possible to use Face Recognition locally on my iPad and not on the Cloud, please ?

 

Thank you

Face detection requires images to be uploaded, as it is all done in the cloud. There is no local option for this feature on iPad.

    " tried again Lightroom.adobe.com via desk computer but it told me it could not upload my images cos ... they are too heavy ! My files are from 26 to 35 Mo"

    --Could you share a screen capture of the error message?  I have uploaded much large files than that, with no issue.

     

    "Disabling my VPN did not help"

    --Ok, thanks for trying.  Sorry this did not help.

     

    "But I tried on my iPad via Wi-Fi and it seems to work a little better : It uploaded 240 images within 1 hour"

    --That sounds reasonable, given the size of your image files.  What is the wifi upload speed of your connection?  Also, your comment makes it sound like you might have been previously trying to upload over cellular data?  From my own experience with my own personal mobile network, I could believe this is the reason for slow uploads.  My mobile provider does provide great download speeds, but is slow for upload.  They carefully choose words like "Speeds up to X mbit/sec" meaning you might see fast network or you might not, because they are trying to balance service across many users in your area.  Anyway, I personally prefer WiFi whenever possible.

     

    "enabling Wi-Fi AND cellular data at the same time will not help to upload faster as iPad will stick with the actual internet connexion it uses ?"

    --This is correct.  You device will favor wifi over cellular when both are active, and will not let Lightroom use both services simultaneously.

     

    Regarding trying to view your Lightroom images with the Creative Cloud app, I personally don't know much about that.  I can only speak from experience regarding the Lightroom Mobile app that I work on.  It might help if you start a new post to ask about viewing images with Creative Cloud... A new post might get other users' attention, who can answer better than me.


    "Could you share a screen capture of the error message"

    -- I will return to work at that place this afternoon and send u a screenshot. It is a library's public wifi, maybe the reason ??....

     

    "previously trying to upload over cellular data?  From my own experience with my own personal mobile network, I could believe this is the reason for slow uploads."

    -- Yes. Now I understand why Apple always insists that I use wifi to backup my iPad but without explaining ... Thx. I don't have a private wifi connexion that's why I favor cellular data cos I am not comfortable using public wifi. But now, I'll have to find a way for my uploads.

     

    Resuming my upload this morning, still 335 to go ...  All this made me lose 3 days of work, so even upload and facial ID are not finished, I begin to tag my images now.

    But how do I move the persons that LR put in the wrong virtual folder, please ?

    I want to avoid it tagging 2 persons with the same name ....

    And also how do I manually change the tag of a person, please ?

     

    Thank you
