Windows 10: How do I tag people in photos that have been scanned in?

Recently my family scanned thousands of family photos, and I want to avoid tagging people manually. I plan to sort the pictures in chronological folders, but would like to be able to search for photos by people ex: my grandma, or great grandma. I saw a previous question/answer, but it referred to a "people" tab in Photos, and I don't see anything like that. This question/reply was from 2018.The other question I have is about the metadata associated with the photo. For example, if OneDrive can't auto tag people, can I run the photos through another program, and then upload the photos to One

:)

 

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

 

Tagging people option in Photo App

Hey Josephef54!

There is a way to turn off the automatic people tagging in the Photos app.

• Open Photos.
• Click the "..." in the upper right corner of the screen.
• Click Settings
• Scroll down to the "Viewing and Editing" section, and flip "People" switch.

 

People tagging in Photo Preview app

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Please note that tagging in Photos app is based on Artificial intelligence (AI) which means once you tag a person it should search for similar faces and tag them in all the Pictures and also create a contact in people’s app. Just make sure that
you are signed in with your Microsoft account using which you tagged the people earlier. AI should take some time, however the tags should appear if it was signed to your Microsoft account.



So to have a better understanding of the issue, please write back with the following information:

1. 1. Are you signed in using the same Microsoft account on both the devices?
      
   2. Which version of Windows is installed on your device?
      
   3. Which version of photos app is installed on your device?
      

Regards,
