People Shown

Question

Using Face Recognition in PS Elements 13 I added people. Here is the behavior I see
* In PSE 13 the people are added to "People Tags" (though I only see a list of ALL people in ALL pictures with no highlight which one is in the selected picture)
* In Lightroom the names of the people show up under "Keyword Tags"
* In PhotoMe, just like in Lightroom, the names of the people show up under "Keywords"
* The same as above applies to "Events" and "Places"
My understanding was that PSE 13 complies with IPTC standards, i.e. it will put people in the "People Shown" section of IPTC. If that's the case then why do they show up under "Keywords" for both Lightroom and PhotoMe? More importantly, how can I keep these keywords separated (keywords vs people vs events)?

Answer 1

I understand what you describe but my question was if it works. I did some tests and it did not work for me. Here is what I found:
1) Check "Include on Export" and check "Export Synonyms" --> both the keyword and the synonym is exported as expected
2) Check "Export Synonyms" and uncheck "Include on Export" --> "Export Synonyms" is still checked by grayed out --> neither the keyword nor the synonym is exported
I checked this with PhotoME. You might want to double check if you depend on this and verify if it works for you.
Btw, for scenario 1) when you click on "Save metadata to file" it will NOT write the synonym but only they keyword. While the documentiation does say "EXPORT Synonyms" this different behavior is still a bit confusing.
Btw 2, from the privacy concerns mentioned before it would really make a lot of sense that one can export the synonym but NOT the keyword.
