Registering People

Register the information of people to images so that you can browse the images by person.

Important

  • The information of people can only be registered to images saved in folders subject to image analysis. Refer to "Image Analysis Settings Tab" for how to set folders that are subject to image analysis.

Registering People from the Unregistered People View

Photos containing people appear automatically in the Unregistered People view as a result of image analysis. You can register images that are identified as those of the same person, at once, or register images one by one.

  1. Click Unregistered People.

    • Identifying people appears during image analysis.

    • Areas that are not of people in photos may be identified as people. To remove, control-click the image and select Delete from the displayed menu, or drag and drop it to Deleted Images of People in Global Menu on the left side of the screen. The image is moved to the Deleted Images of People view.
    • Image analysis only applies to images saved in folders subject to image analysis. Refer to "Image Analysis Settings Tab" for details on image analysis.
  2. Click Register name, then enter the name.

    • For registered people, you can also register by dragging and dropping the thumbnail to the name displayed below People in Global Menu on the left side of the screen.

    • To delete a registered person, control-click the person in the People view and select Delete from the displayed menu. Images whose names of people have been deleted appear as those of unregistered people in the Unregistered People view.
    • You can also set the profiles of registered people, such as their relationships with you and their birthdays.
