    How Can I Rename Tagged Faces in the Windows 10 Photos App?


    Hello, I'm using the Photos app in Windows 10 to organize my pictures. Normally it does a good job with grouping faces together, but it tends to group all pictures of babies as one person. My newest nephew is being tagged with faces of other people that aren't him. Is there a way to change the name of tagged faces for individual pictures? I don't want to remove the face tags on the other photos since they're important to me as well.

    :)

    Windows Photos App face tagging

    The Windows 10 Photos App automatically tags faces in photos. It puts the results of these efforts in the People tab:

    Recently I imported 50 or so photos and when I checked a day later about half of them were tagged. Since then I imported a few thousand more, yet the face tagging has not updated at all, it just seems to have given up.

    Is there any way to prompt the app to tag a few more photos, or anything I can do to encourage it?

    NB I've seen various places where I'm told to turn on the appropriate setting, but it's been on all this time

  3. Tagging people in photos

    This is all well and good and that does work, but once you go through the suggested photos and name them there are some that are miss recognized. So I deleted the tag but it does not add the face back to any list to rename it.

    How does any new photo being added, scanned and give me the ability to tag it? I don't find any option to have the photo program rescan.

    Need some help.

    Thanks,

    Pat

    Windows Photo - will it be updated to allow tagging faces?

    I downloaded Photos today because it claimed to tag faces, but I find it works in only the most rudimentary way and from reading other forums in the community, it seems like I'm not missing some important how-to that could be user-error. I find that:

    • the people tab does sort by people and lets me name groups and combine groups under the same name tag
    • it only tags one person per photograph
    • it doesn't allow me to tag additional people (eg by putting a box around a face and naming it)
    • it doesn't allow me to rename or refile mis-tagged images (has photos of my brothers under my sister's group)
    My question before I invest any further time into exploring what promised to be a helpful, time-saving tagging process, is:

    Will this app be further developed to include options for tagging more than one person per photo and correcting incorrectly tagged photos? I have thousands of genealogical family photos, not to mention my own family collection and if this isn't going to
    work, I'll just uninstall and continue using my other software.
