Chapter 9: Organizing photos
Face recognition
Lightroom lets you quickly organize and find images using facial recognition technology. Lightroom scans your image
catalog to find potential faces for your review and confirmation.
Index faces
1 In the Library module, switch to the People view. To do so, select View > People or press O. Alternatively, you can
click the
icon on the toolbar.
2 Lightroom prompts you to find faces in your catalog. Click one of the following options:
Start Finding Faces In Entire Catalog Enables background face indexing. Lightroom detects faces in all photos in
your catalog. Depending upon the size of your catalog, full indexing may take a while.
Only Find Faces As-Needed Leaves background face indexing disabled. Detects faces only in folders and collections
that you select.
3 If you chose to find faces in the entire catalog, wait for indexing to complete. You can continue to work as Lightroom
indexes your images. Lightroom uses imaging characteristics to find faces, and then stacks images of similar faces
together.
Once the initial indexing is complete, face indexing continues to run in the background. Faces in any images added
later to the catalog are automatically detected.
