Is there a way to tag faces in Lightroom that is exportable as metadata?

I'm scanning a bunch of old family photos and I want to be able to tag faces of relatives and export those names and the corresponding faces as metadata. Ideally this metadata would be in some universal format that is then readable by everything- Windows, Mac OSX, Photoshop, Powerpoint, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
Is that possible via XMP?
Searchable keywords are great, but they don't go far enough. In a photo of a family reunion from 40 years ago, I need to attach each name to a specific face and know that some future family member will be able to decipher those tags 40 more years into the future.
I think everyone could benefit from this. Architectural photographers could tag each piece of furniture with the name of the designer, sports photogs could tag several athletes within each pic, wedding photographers could tag the wedding party and family members.
Is there a way to do that now? If not, is this ability coming soon?

So. I've done a lot of reading since last night, including some papers from the Metadata Working Group.
Here's what I think I've learned:
the feature I want, that I've been calling "face tagging", is called "Image Region Metadata" by software companies
Adobe created support for image region metadata within XMP
Adobe, Apple, Canon, Microsoft, Nokia and Sony founded something called the Metadata Working Group to standardize the use of increasingly complex metadata
The Metadata Working Group published a set of guidelines in Nov 2010 that included guidelines for image region metadata
As of now, only Google Picasa and Windows Photo Gallery actually support any kind of XMP image region metadata (or what I called "face tagging")
Did I get all that correct?

  • When I add a new bookmark, and the (star) Page Bookmarked window appears - is there any way to expand the size of that window so that I can see my entire list of folders when adding a new bookmark to an existing folder?

    When I add a new bookmark, and the (star) Page Bookmarked window appears - is there any way to expand the size of that window so that I can see my entire list of folders when adding a new bookmark to an existing folder? The endless scrolling technique is far too tedious when trying to add a new bookmark, because the window is simply too tiny. Is there maybe a plug-in that will let me grab the corner of that window and re-size it? Thanks!

    I suggest you install the "Add Bookmark to Here2" extension, then you can expand the the list but you will not see the bookmark itself in the list if that is what you wanted. At the top you have three major folders you can select one of them and scroll up and down. Below that you have your most recently used folders and you can select one of them instead and scroll up and down. You can see the folder the bookmark is in -- they get added to the bottom
    If you really want to see the bookmark within the folder the same extension allows you to bring the bookmark to the folder from say the bookmarks sidebar that is why it is named as such. I use it but mainly i use the dialog.
    Please continue reading about bookmarks and some related extensions at

    * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm
    If you are not using tags at all, you can remove a whole lot of confusion by removing them from the dialog via the extension.

  • Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

    Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
    TIA,
    Nancy

    To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
    Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
    I wonder what it will be next time?

  • I work on dual screens on a new mac pro but when I do the 4 finger swipe it moves both screens, is there a way to move just the screen that is active?

    I work on dual screens on a new mac pro but when I do the 4 finger swipe it moves both screens, is there a way to move just the screen that is active?

    Multiple desktops and dual screens really aren't meant to work together. Apple came up with this multiple desltops feature and never really thought about users that use a dual monitor setup. So use either multiple desktops OR dual monitors but not both. Also don't try to use any App in Full Screen Mode as that doesn't work with dual screen setups either.

  • Is there a way to create a new Calendar that replicates all events

    Is there a way to create a new Calendar that replicates all events from a subscribed calendar ? Mobile Me is great but my most important Calendar is technically in the "Subscriptions" category so it doesn't get pushed to me iPhone. I want to create a new Calendar and have it just automatically copy all the events from the subscribed calendar and keep up to date with that one.

    lincolnroadjeff,
    I subscribed to a Holiday calendar that I also wanted to be published, and the only workaround that I found was to export the calendar, delete the subscription, and then import the calendar.
    This obviously will only work with a subscription that is not often updated/subject to change.

    If your phone is offline, the ONLY way to find it is to look for it the old fashioned way.  Your phone CANNOT be located electronically if it's offline.

    Hello Damien,
    There is an option to set a passcode for the entire iPhone.  You can use the following steps to set this up:
    You can configure a passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
    Once enabled, you will be prompted for the passcode whenever you:
    Turn on or restart the device
    Wake the device
    Unlock the screen
    Note: You can specify the amount of time the screen must be locked before requiring a passcode.
    You can find the full article here:

  • Is there a way to stop creation of invoice that refers delivery items with

    Dear Friends
    I have items in delivery with qty 0 ( this is required for IDOC processing )
    The Invoice was also created with 0 qty  with refrerence to the Delivery,
    is there a way to stop creation of invoice that refers delivery items with zero qty.

    Hi,
    Check the copy control settings in t.code VTFL.
    Go to item details. Check the field routine assigned in copying requirements.
    Copy this routine in t.code VOFM and add further logic to check quantity is not equal to zero, then this new routine in the copying requirements field. Check with ABAP'er.

    Without knowing anything about your computer we can't advise specifically. You can download CS6 versions in CC by checking the "older versions/ other versions" stuff in teh bottom section of the CC app's "Apps" tab, but that may not resolve your issues.

  • Is there a way to retrieve a text message that has been deleted from my iphone?

    Is there a way to retrieve a text message that has been deleted from my iphone?  I did't delete the message but after i synced my phone the message was gone.

    No, the app doesn't use Safari.  The app is AutoDesk Inventor Publisher Viewer.  I think there is a way that you can have a publish Inventor file, and if you create a correctly formatted hyperlink, you can click on it and it will immediately open the file in the viewer.
    I know that if you offer the file as a standard download, iOS will ask whether you want to open it with Inventor Pub. Viewer or save it to another app that can accept files.  I would prefer to skip the prompt, and just open the viewer.
    I've heard mention that this can be done with this application, but I can't find reference material anywhere.
