Photoshop Elements :: People Analyzer Will Not Recognize People / Allow To Tag People In Photos
Jan 26, 2013
I have photoshop elements 11. People analyzer will not recognize people or allow me to tag people in my photos. It works with my older camera photos such as from my Nikon D300 but will not work with photos from my D800 (RAW).
I recently upgraded from PSE 10 to PSE 11. I already used tags to identify People by name. However, in the new People View not all of my people tags are present as People Stacks despite running the face recognition function. If I use the Add People function it just runs the face recognition feature that I have already run and named the specific person I want to see in the stacks.Strange thing is when I click the Add Group button I can see the missing people but do not know how to get them shown in the People Stacks?
I have about 11,000 pix in PSE 11 and growing, all of a large family. Using 'Add People" in organizer worked well up till I reached 9,000 pix. I get the msg that all faces have been tagged. I've been scanning about 300 pix from our old albums and always try to add people after each group. I am not even getting the "Is this a person" message. I can go to each batch and manually answer "Who is this? Database size problem??
I have just upgraded from PSE 9 to PSE 11 and have imported some pictures that I have tagged in another program. Importing tags for everything other than people works fine (already used tags are recognized and reused). But importing tags for people proved to be a problem. They did not merge automatically with my previous people tags in PSE. My imported people tags ar now placed under "Imported Keyword Tags" in the "Media" workspace. How do I merge or move them to the "People" work space where the people tags for PSE 11 is placed?
I also wonder why people and other tags are put in different places. Is it possible to view all keyword tags in one list/place?
main picture - group of people (no room at either end to insert anyone)
2nd picture - 2 people standing together
Best place is to put them at the back of the group. But how do I do this? I am new to gimp and think I have to play with layers, but don't know how to.
I upgraded from PSE9 to PSE11 and now the tags are separated on the right side, with the people tags below a line from which you can no longer add these tags to photos.
How am I supposed to add people tags to new photos?
I upgraded from Elemetns 10 to Elements 11, but cannot find the "people tags" (Family, Friends, etc) that I had with Elements 10. How can I tag photos with the tags that were set up in Elemetns 10?
How can I remove a people tag from multiple photos at one time in PSE11. If I select two or more photos, then the people are no longer listed in the "image tags" info area, and the right-click menu does not list them under keyword tags to remove, it only shows "add person" not "remove person." This happened when many photos were accidentally tagged with a person not in the photo.
I need to print 200 profile cards (sized A6). There will be information about the individual along with a photograph. My questions are:
The photos are all 680 x 1024 at 72dpi - I'm sure these will print ok at A6....?All candidates are on a white background - some backgrounds look brighter than others - what's the best way to make it look whiter (photos will be cropped and placed on a white background) and is there a way to do this on mass?
If I have photographs with my children from age 1 through 40 in them, Should I sequence the search from age one on up, at say, one year increments? When you tell it to IGNORE is it just for that pass? Why does it constantly miss the obvious, known, face and ask about the bend in the chair that is not even a person?
I've just started using PSE 11 Organizer and tried to add some of my pictures to People. I selected several photos in the Media Room and then clicked the Add people button. After a brief time, a dialog momentarily appeared and then immediatly closed and a ghost message appeared saying "No new people in your selection". I tried other different selections but all with the same result. I checked the People tab and there are no people listed there.
Running PSE 11 on Win 8. Have many People Tags entered over the years, but now they do not show in the area to the right where all other Tags are listed. I can no longer add a people tag to any photos.
In photoshop elements 11, 4 people have vanished from the "All people" view. The actual photos are still tagged with their names, but I can't use the feature to see all photos with a particular person as they are neither in the "all people" view, nor the list of people tags. It so happens that these 4 names were previously used as tags in my previous version of Elements 7.
When I run People Recognition (PSE 10), the dialog box opens and after some delay (appears to be processing) simply closes without error or results. I forced a repair to my Catalog which happens to be very large (66K files).
I'm using Elements 11. I imported some photos to my catalog and the program asked if I wanted to import the tags as well. Of course I did and so did the program. However, now when I want to find pictures of a specific person that I tagged in people taggs in elements are separate from the photos in the normal tag with the same name of that person. So I have to review both places to find all of the pictures for that person.
Is there any way to change a normal tag to a "peoples tag" so that I will find all images of that person when I want to find it?
In my opinion it is a little strange that there is now the distinction between two different tag types. If I save the tags to the file via "Save Metadata to Files" then the peoples tags are written in the normal tags section in the files since Windows seems to know only one tag system. So when I import the files again in Elements then naturally the peoples tags are converted to normal tags because it could not distinguish which is which.
Is there a better solution? Can I just combine the normal tags with people tags? It's far too hard to retag all of the photos and the automatic face recognition doesn't work very well in many cases so a lot of work is necessary.
I've been having trouble getting the People recognition tool to work on Elements 12.
It picked up a load of different faces at first, but I still have thousands of photos left which the program now refuses to pick up faces from - whenever I select photos (even in small batches) it comes up with a message saying "No new people found in your selection". However, when I click on the individual photos it still has the windows round the faces asking me who they are.
Need to get the facial recognition tool working again. I'd rather not have to go through each photo individually when batch tagging is so much quicker.
The Add People feature has stopped working in Elements 11. I just get the message "no new people found in your selection". Yet, when i open a picture there will be faces that are marked in the photo awaiting tagging. I have thousands of photos and having to open each one individually just to tag faces is not why i purchased this software. It worked well in version 10 and was much better in 11 until it stopped working.
It worked great until about 3 weeks ago. I have not changed any settings on my end. I have followed the directions on the following threads:

I have reset to default settings I renamed the psa.prf, status.dat and the peoplestatus.dat files. Neither of those have worked. Short of uninstalling and re-installing i am at my wits end.
I notice that on my people keywords tags 13 of the tags have thumbnails and 4 do not. I have always had "show people recognition" turned on.Can I add a thumnail to the people tags which do not have one?Can I change an existing thumbnail on a people tag?
