- [Narrator] With Lightroom built in facial recognition,
you can easily find and add people keyword tags
to the important people in your life.
We'll use the chapter four O four O two folder of images
to tag these photos with people keywords.
Before we start, I want to take a look up here
under the nameplate.
If I click on it, we'll see that it says face detection
and that it's paused, leave this paused here
because if you turn it on for your entire catalog,
it can really slow things down
especially if you have a very large catalog.
It's better to run face detection on one folder
or a collection at a time like we have here.
So we have 11 photos of the same family members
that were captured at different times in different places
and we can turn on the face detection just for this folder
using this person icon here in the toolbar
or by pressing the O key on the keyboard.
Now we're getting this message here that's asking us,
do we want to start finding faces in the entire catalog?
Again, we don't want to do that,
that's the same thing as turning it on in the nameplate.
So we're going to click only find faces as needed
and so that started the face detection
but not for the whole catalog,
just for this folder of images
and it's going through and reading the images
and finding faces and it stacking the faces
that it recognizes that are the same.
So here there's four and here there's three
so Lightroom knows that there's four photos here
that have the same person in them.
So now we're going to go through
and we're going to add the names to the important people
we don't have to add people tagged to every person
in our catalog, just the people that we care about
and want to find later.
So Lightroom just adjusted this again
because it's still reading those images.
I think it's set, I think it's found them all now
so we'll start adding names.
We'll start with the mom here and her name is Kayla
so I'll type in Kayla and I'll hit enter
and that added four images of Kayla to the top
where it says named people.
So as we add the names, they're going to get moved up there
so let's add the dad's name, Tarell hit enter,
and now Tarell gone up there.
This is the son, Lightroom's thinking that
maybe the son is the mom 'cause they look very similar
but it's not, so we'll give the son's name, Jamal
and hit enter and then this is the daughter
and the daughter's name is Nia, so we'll add Nia.
This is also the daughter so we'll say Nia again
and notice that it added to the named people up here.
This is the mom, so Lightroom recognized the face
as the same face as here.
So I can just hit the enter key to apply that
now this is the daughter again, so we'll type in Nia
hit the enter key.
Now, if this person is just somebody
that was in a group photo,
I don't want to give this person a tag or a keyword
for their name.
So I'll just click the X and the same with this one.
We'll click the no, and we'll X this one out
and I don't think this is Tarell
so we'll click X for that, yeah this is the son again
so we'll type in his name
and it remembers it because we've already typed it in.
So I can hit the enter key a couple of times to apply that
and this is Tarell again.
So we'll hit the enter key and this is Nia
so you can see, you can go through this really fast
and this is Kayla so we'll hit the enter key
and then Nia to finish this out.
As you start going through your catalog
with this facial recognition,
it's going to get smarter and smarter
and start recognizing the people
that you take a lot of photos of.
Now that we have these images, keyworded,
let's go out of the people view
by going back into the grid view,
just clicking on the icon down here or using the G key
and then we can open the keywording panel
and we'll see that this photo has both Kayla and Mia in it
and this photo over here has all four of them.
I like to add person keywords to my family members
so I can quickly find and collect photos of us.
Lightroom's facial recognition is so good
that it even recognizes us as we age.
