Tagging People
Elements has included
face recognition
technology for a while now. This feature lets the Or-
ganizer analyze your photos for faces and then display the ones it found so you can create
tags for them. (Adobe calls this feature “people recognition,” but it's designed to find only
faces; it doesn't work so well on a photo of someone's back, for example.)
Here's how to use face recognition to find people in your photos:
1.
If you want to limit the photos that the Organizer analyzes, select them (this step
is optional)
.
2.
At the bottom of the Media view window, click the Add People button
.
If you haven't pre-selected any photos, a dialog box asks if you're sure you want to
find people. (Why else would you have clicked the button?) Click Yes. (If you selec-
ted any photos in step 1, you don't see this dialog box.) If you have any files where
Elements didn't recognize anything in the photo as a person, you see a warning that
Elements will skip those files; click OK. Elements starts chugging away, looking for
people. When it's done, the People Recognition window opens with thumbnail images
of different people that Elements found, with “Which of these people would you like
to label?” at the top of the screen.
3.
Click the thumbnails of the people you want to tag, and then click Save
.
4.
Identify the people Elements found
.
Click the words “Who is this?” below a photo and type a name for each person. (
Fig-
ure 2-15
shows what to do if Elements offers you an image that
isn't
a person.) If you
need to see a larger view to be sure who the person is, right-click/Control-click the
thumbnail and choose “Show in Full Size View.” When you're done looking at the
bigger view, click Back. Once you've filled in everyone's names, click Save.
