Windows 10: Microsoft Photo persons tagging are grouped wrong

Hi I have a problem with tagging people in the microsoft photos app that comes with windows 10.

The contacts work, adding names works fine, but some "persons" have multiple different people in them.


is there a way to edit separate photos that i'm overlooking?

tags or title for pictures / photos

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Title is used to get more information about the content, different documents will have different title.

You can add same tags for documents with different title to group them to together, which will help in searching the file with same tags. I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below to add tags or title to your image.

Steps:

1. Right click on the Image or photo you want to tag.
2. Select Properties.
3. Select Detail tab.
4. Under Description section, select
   tags or title.
5. Add your tags or title and click on
   Ok.

Note: You can add more than one tag to the same image or photo.

Hope it helps.

Change photo tags for upload...not afterwards

Hi,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



I suggest you to sort the photos by date in the saved location and check if it helps.

To do so, follow the below steps:

• 
  Open the folder where the photos are saved.
  
• 
  Click on View tab.
  
• 
  Click Group by, then click Date.
  

Let us know if you have any further query on Windows, we are glad to assist you.

 

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.
