Sorting photos according to the people in them is a great way to organize your photos. There are two ways to tag people in your photos:
• Face recognition — analyzes facial characteristics and uses reference photos to build a list of possible matches. People with similar characteristics are sorted into groups, making it easier for you to look through your photos and identify people. You can move photos between groups until all photos of the same person are in one group, and then type a name for the group to automatically tag all photos in the group with the name of that person.
• Manual tagging — lets you tag people manually in your photos. You can add multiple tags to the same photo, or tag objects or other areas of the photo with the names of people, to make sure that they are notified when the photo is uploaded.
Importing your friends list from sharing sites
You can import your friends list from sharing sites, such as Facebook and Flickr, and link the names in your photos with names from the sharing sites. When the local tags in Corel PaintShop Pro are linked with the sharing site tags, the people who appear in the photos will be automatically notified when you upload the photos to the site. No need to tag them again!
To sort photos by people
Manage tab
1 In the Navigation palette, click the Collections tab.
2 Navigate to the folder containing the images that you want to sort.
3 In the Organizer palette, click the Find People button on the Organizer toolbar, and choose one of the following options:
• Scan selected photos
• Scan current folder
• Scan subfolders
If no photos are selected, face recognition is applied to the whole folder.
After you run face recognition, the photos are sorted into groups of people and placed in a folder called Unnamed.
4 If Manage is not in Thumbnail mode, click the Thumbnail Mode button in the upper-right corner of Manage to view the groups.
The group containing the most photos is listed first. Within each group, the most recent photos are displayed first. People that appear in only one photo are grouped together in a group called Single Face Group.
5 Click in the title bar of a group and type a name for the group.
All photos in the group are tagged with the name.
If you want to increase the accuracy of the face recognition results, you can select 10 clear photos of the same person and run face recognition on those 10 photos first. These reference photos will increase the accuracy of future facial matches for that person.
After you type a name for a group, the group is moved from the Unnamed folder to a new, named folder in the Navigation palette.
