Thank you to all of the helpful people here. I've learned so much from you
I have several related Lightroom facial recognition questions. Hopefully asking them all in one post won't be too confusing. I’ve looked here and elsewhere and haven’t found definitive answers.
Find Faces Again...
Does this start from scratch - forgetting all face regions and, when present, the names associated with those regions? Does this apply only to the selected photos?
Is this the way to restart face recognition from scratch? In other words, can I get Lightroom to remove & forget all face & region detection and all names associated with those regions? I *think* “Find Faces Again…” with all photos selected and both of the “Skip” options turned off might do this. Can anyone confirm or correct this understanding?
Face detection running unexpectedly
Does face scanning run when looking at the people view, even if of the Catalog's “Automatically detect faces…” being off and even if Face Detection is paused in the activity view in the upper left corner? I have the Catalog value off and the activity area says Face Detection is paused. But if I look at the People few, the “Unamed People“ bar says “Looking for more people…“ and the number of people found keeps increasing. This apparently stops if I switch away from the People view and to the Grid view.
When too many faces are detect
Is there a way, when looking at a photo in the People view, to tell Lightroom to delete all of the unnamed regions, or even all of the regions? Why: I have many pix with a large number of photos in them - e.g. team photos, crowded scenes. In these cases Lightroom finds as many as 20 faces in the same picture, and all but 1-2 of the are irrelevant
Alternatively is there a way to have Lightroom never scan some set of photos?
Thank you very much for your help,
Mike
