Aperture 3 Faces recognition problem

Have a really funky problem that is consuming hours to days of time in Faces. Need serious help, or for Apple to recognize this as a bug.
When I select Faces, Confirm Faces for a person, it shows loads of faces completely not that persons face. So when looking for faces of Kelly what Faces did do, was show the confirms of numerous faces as Duncan, or Jeff etc - the correct names for those faces. So I thought 'Great! Faces will assign all these faces to the correct names, making this a very quick its either Kelly, OR someone else it recognizes, OR reject as not Kelly or anyone else!'
WRONG. :-( When I hit confirm, the faces that should have been assigned to different people all ended up under Kelly ! So is this a bug on functionality that SHOULD work the way I expect by correctly assigning the faces, or is there something else i should be doing to assign the faces correctly ?
Have library of 20,000+ photos, so this is taking forever after upgrading form iphoto 11 (wish I hadnt now, unless there is a simple fix).
Even better - after selecting a number of Faces correctly, can Faces re-run across imported photos to correctly assign the faces ?

Although I haven't encountered this problem, please read the following thread and you may reconsider the built-in Facebook syncing:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2625405&tstart=100
Fortunately, it's easy enough to export photos from Aperture to a folder and upload manually, but a half-baked implementation shouldn't even be shown as a option.

Face Recognition Problem in PSE 12

I am having a problem with face recognition with PSE 12/Windows 8.1. It is a new install, at first all went well. I could enter names and they were immediately accepted. As faces repeated recognition was working and I could click the green arrow and it would accept or even click the red x and make another selection as it should be. Then I started having problems when it would come up with the correct face I would click the green arrow and instead of accepting the box would go to "Who is This" and it would take numerous attempts to get the program to accept the name. Next I started having problems just entering names, again instead of accepting it would loop me through the "Who is This" numerous times. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
We sincerely apologize for the problem that you have been facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
Plug-in installation instructions:
1. Close Photoshop Elements
2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
• For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
• For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
Hope this helps!

Aperture 3 - Face recognition and IPTC

I just upgrade my library from AP2 to AP3 and I was trying to use the face recognition feature.
I've got 2 questions regarding this feature:
1- Is anybody know if AP write the names enter with the face function in an IPTC field or if this info is proprietary to AP?
2- In AP2 I used to write the name of the people in the KeyWord IPTC field. Can we copy automatically (with a script for example) the values of the KeyWord field in the "face" field?
Re-writting all the names on all the pictures of my library will be very painful, so I try to find a fast way to do it. If any of you already found a way to do it, it will be very helpful.
Thanks

right questions
I am also searching for a solution to:
- write the locations to the IPTC-fields
- write the "faces" to IPTC-keywords

Face Recognition problem...

I always get a failed logon when using the face recognition for my u405d-s2902 i set the security low already but still get failed.. can you give me some tips how this face recognition works? pls help thanks...

You will need webcam on computer and a software pkg: Not too secure, all I have read so far, can be fooled.
Extracted data: Freeware application BananaScreen adds face recognition login to your webcam-enabled Windows computer. To use, just install BananaScreen and create a face model. Then set up BananaScreen to lock after a predefined amount of inactivity (or hit Alt-L to lock at any time). Once locked, BananaScreen will keep an eye on faces coming and going in front of the camera. When it matches yours, it immediately unlocks your computer. NOT SECURE!

How does Aperture Face recognition work

Just upgraded to Aperture 3 --- I'm a little baffled by the functionality of the face recognition. Aperture certainly found most (if not all) of the faces in my collection but I thought it was supposed to be able to actually do recognition (to some extent) so that when I associate a certain face with a name, it would automatically find the same face in other photos and mark them.
I am not seeing any evidence that this actually happens --- I just seem to keep getting fed faces along the bottom that I have to name manually, even if it's a very similar picture that was already seen.
What am I missing?

I've noticed that sometimes (seems like all the time, but I've only done a few imports) when I first import new photos it can take a long time before Aperture decides to search for similar faces.
I can tag a few pics of people in the "Faces View" and then double-click their photo to try to see suggested matches, but watching the "Activity Window" shows no searching for similar faces... I don't know what's stopping it, but it just doesn't seem to even bother searching for quite some time. It's not that it's still detecting faces in the photos (I've checked to see it's finished doing that) — there's nothing in the Activity Window and the CPU usage of Aperture is basically zero. Memory is not full, nothing else is using the CPU, it's just sitting there doing nothing...
And then randomly, suddenly, it seems to remember that it is meant to search for similar faces and does so...
Would be interested to see if others are having similar behaviour, where Aperture just doesn't even bother searching until some event, or some time after importing... Open up the Activity window in Aperture (from the Window menu), double-click on a face in the faces view and see if it starts searching for similar faces... if it's not even searching, then that might explain why you're not being given the ability to match faces. If it is searching, then I guess it's just not finding anything. Also note that you won't get any matches until the search finishes (it can take quite a while to search through the photos for similar faces; likely depends on (and is slowed down by) the number of faces for that person, the number of 'unknown faces', the total number of faces and/or people in your library)

Satellite L505-12Q...having a problem with Face Recognition

Hello!
I have a strange problem with my Face Recognition. Yesterday it worked perfectly, but today it doesn't. Note that I've cleaned registry with CCleaner, but didn't backup before that (stupid..).
I've downloaded the installation of Face Recognition from Toshiba's support and download site, but to install it you must uninstall the old program. OK, but at the and of the uninstallation comes an error, quote: "Error 1326.Error getting security: C:\ProgramData\TOSHIBA\SmartFaceV\ GetLastError:5".
Than the uninstallation rolls back and I receive another error, quote: "Error -1603 Fatal error during installation. Consult Windows Installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information."

Hi mate
As far as I know you can set the OS back to the early time point
Try to roll back the OS to the early point before you made all the changes
As far as I know the CCLeaner allows you to uninstall the installed applications as well. It cleans the faulty files too maybe you should clean it again before installing this application again
It's definitly worth a try!!!

Problem Initializing Face Recognition

Whenever I open the "Toshiba Face Recognition" application, a "Face Verification and Logon Utility" window pops up. The window is blank except at the bottom where it says "Initializing...". I see the camera go on and off repeatedly. Nothing happens. I leave it for an hour and it still remains the same. I have a Satellite L505-S6946 running on Windows Vista, 32 bit. What should I do?

try to check if your webcam is working fine, or if you can see yourself when you launch your camera...
you can try to uninstall / reinstall the face recognition sw...

LRCC Face recognition - best practices?

Ok so we are all new to the wonderful world of face recognition in LR. I'm trying to work out what would be the best practices for using this.
A little bit of background - I have a catalog of over 200,000 images. In addition to portrait and wedding clients, a significant part of my work is with models and another significant part of my work is theatre photography. I have be wanting some sort of face recognition to help with both for some time.
What are your namining conventions for people? - here's mine:
Ideally I would label people as "surname, firstname" so that I can keep members of a family together in "named people" display, but commas are not allowed in names. Also the professional name of many models doesn't fit that pattern eg "Strawberry Venom" or "Cute as Sin" are to models I have worked with.
I am trying to come up with a sensible naming convention at the moment it is "Surname/ Firstname" for clients, theatre folk and friends/family. Models are still a problem, at present I am thinking of "Surname/ Firstname (model name(s))" While I may not be able to remember the real names of models, I do usually know the names from model releases. This naming will still permit me to filter/find them in the keyword List panel by just entering the model name.
On final addition I am making to this this naming convention is the use of a hashtag suffix to the name: #F for friends and family, #C for clients, #T for theatre/actors and #M for models. This enables me to filter on just models, or just actors, or just friends and familiy. Where people fall into multiple categories I add multiple hashtags. So photos of me would be keyworded with "Butterfield/ Ian #F #T"
Unknown / unidentified people.
What I am not yet certain about is how to handle unknown / unidentified people. Unidentified people fall into a number of different categories.
People I don't know and I am never likely to know (Eg random strangers on the street, local tour guides on holiday, random people in the background etc)
This group is relatively easy to deal with - that is to simply delete the face recognition, End of story.
People I don't know the names of yet but I am likely to find out (Eg actors in a production for which I don't have a programme)
For these people I am making up a unique name using the format "date/ Context-Gendernn" Eg an unknown male actor at Stockport Garrick Theatre would be named as "20150313/ SGT-M01" Although this may appear a complex solution it has a number of advantages. If/when I do learn the name of the individual (Eg I photograph them in a different production) it is simply a case of renaming the people keyword. Creating a unique name and not simple assigning all unknowns to a bucket name will help the face recognition algorithms find this person without it being confused by have different faces assigned to the same name. I am also using the hashtage #U to make it easier to filter the unknown faces when I need to.
People I don't know the names of and there is only a slim possibility of meeting/photographing again (Eg guests as a client weeding)
It feels as though I out to just delete the face recognition and have done with it, and this is what I would do except for thing. Other than manually drawing face regions I have not yet found a way to get lightroom to rescan a folder for faces if you have previously deleted the face recognition. This means that deleting face regions from a large number of people is something that cannot be easily reversed. I might just leave these people in the "Unnamed People" category... at lease until such time as there is a way to rescan a folder or colectoin.
Summary
My practices are still evolving. But I hope these thoughts and idea will help others think through the issues and come up with solutions that work for their situation. I am interested in hearing how other people are using the face recognition system. Especially if anyone is aware of any 'best practices' that Adobe or anyone else has recommended.

Glad it helped.
Yes and no. You can still put the people keywords into hierarchies within the keyword list - you can arrange them just like any other keywords.so you just create a "smith family" keyword and store "john smith" under it. What you can't do is apply BOTH smith family and john smith the the same face.
My use of the hash tags came about because I initially had a top level keyword for models, one for clients, one for theatre peple and one for family and firends. Then discovered that some of the theatre folk were also clients (headshots) and what to do when a friend is also a client. So the hash tag system means a person can be both a friend, a model, an actor as well as being a client! (#T #C #M #F).

No face recognition in iPhoto on my iPad 2

Hello, thank you for opening this thread.
Today I uploaded the photo for the first time on to my iPad 2. When I open the photos, there are Photos, Albums, Events, Places, but there is no "Faces."
I searched the discussion board but I could not find an answer how to let iPhoto do the face recognition.
Could someone please help me?
Thank you!!

Faces will only show as an option in the Photos app on the iPad if you've synced photos from your Mac which have 'faces' associated with them (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 : 'iPhoto ’09, you can also add your Faces, Places, and Events to your device.', and the manual 'Events and Faces must first be configured in iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac, then synced to iPad') - i.e. it must be associated with photos prior to syncing them to the iPad.
If you've synced photos with Faces to the iPad and they aren't showing, then try closing the Photos app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with Photos 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Photos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

BUG: Face recognition data not saved to images.

i have the option to automatically save XMP data into the images activated.
so all keywords and metadata changes are not only saved to the catalog but also into my DNG and TIFF images.
now this works fine for everything except the new face recognition data.
i mean the areas (rectangles) where the faces are.
i guess the problem is that the images already contain the keywords (names) of the persons in the images.
what i did was using the rectangles to identify the persons in the images. drawing rectangles around their faces and name them.
this info about the rectangle positions is NOT automatically stored in the image files. not after hours of letting LR run idle.
this info is only stored when i manually save (CTRL+S) the images or do something other to the metadata (like adding NEW keywords to it).
so in short: just adding the face region data (the rectangles) will not trigger the automatic XMP save function when the name keyword was already asigned as keyword to the image.
that´s very bad and must considered a bug in my opinion..
i don´t like to rely on the LR catalog only. it´s unsave even with backups.
i want that the metadata info is stored in the images.
also when i give away my images i want that the metadata is in the images.
that´s why "automatically save XMP" is always active and very important for me.

I don't have any info but repost your original info at this site. Supposedly Adobe reads this and it should not get lost in the clutter I have posted a few bugs there and they were acknowledged but not fixed but Adobe seems to be pretty good at fixing potential data loss bugs/problems which I consider this to be if it is working as you describe.

IPhoto 09 face recognition

I would like to know if the iPhoto 09 face recognition feature is ON by default and can't be switched off even if we feel we don't need it.
The reason I ask is that, after a year of Leopard, I am really exasperated at this Spotlight regularly monopolizing 95% of processor time, uncontrollably trying to index the whole Universe, just in case I might want to search the contents of files, a feature that is ON by default and can't be switched off even if we feel we don't need such an overkill process.
Same with Time Machine, that starts archiving everytime an external drive is plugged in, unless we rush to the Time Machine System Preferences and navigate to the Confidential tab to kill the already running indiscretion.
I just hope that iPhoto 09 didn't join this recent un-Apple philosophy that uncontrollably overworks processors and noisy fans, temporarily slowing the fastest computer in the World to the speed of my first Mac SE, just because it decides you're an idiot that might not know its own needs.
Sorry about that !
I just had to let it out ...
PP

iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
If you find that Spotlight is “regularly monopolizing 95% of processor time“ then you have a problem with Spotlight. This is not how i works on nay of my machines. Perhaps you need to troubleshoot that.
I was able to turn off Time machine with no difficulty. Perhaps you need to read the help.
The faces feature use a one time scan of the iPhoto Library when you first launch 09. Thereafter it does nothing at all unless you use it.

Strange UI bug when using People view/face recognition

I've started playing with the face recognition in LR6/CC and have encountered an odd display bug when viewing the groups of 'named people':
The thumbnail for each named person includes a count of how many images (or perhaps that should be faces) are attributed to their specific name. However, once the number of images for a person exceeds 100, LR only displays the first two digits in the thumbnail and drops off the third one, e.g. 254 is displayed as 25. If you hover over the thumbnail, the full count (e.g. 254) is displayed so long as the mouse cursor is kept on the thumbnail. Interestingly, once the number of images attributed to a named person exceeds 1000, it does the same thing, only it adds an extra digit (so 1400 becomes 140).
I'm running this on Win7.
Anyone else seeing this?

I guess I was primarily "testing the water" to see if the problem was specific to my configuration in some way, but you make a fair point John.

Hi,
Is it possible to sort or select which of images of a person who will be the main image displayed in face recognition in Lightroom 6?
In Aperture and iPhoto you can choose which photo should be key photo.

Duplicate Face recognition Boxes Possible Bug????

I am having a heck of a time with face recognition and assigning a name to a face and then putting another box around the same face, telling me its unnamed. The boxes vary the slightest bit in size, I cant "x" out of the unnamed box, so I have to close the named box, then use the present unnamed box and re-type the name of the person into it. This is extremely time consuming and if the name is already present, I am not sure why Aperture is putting another unnamed box around the same face which is some cases is exactly the same size and others is differs my .5mm. Is there a way to turn this 2nd unnamed box off or to ideally remove the unnamed boxes from all the photos that have multiple naming boxes? Thanks in advance!

Maybe try rebuilding the database by holding down option-command when starting Aperture. I had some issues with duplicates in Faces and rebuilding the library worked wonders.
