PSE 11 - People tags showing as groups

Hi,
I've upgraded from PSE 6 to PSE 11. My people tags have carried over, but are not showing properly in the "People" view.
All my people tags are still present on the pictures and I can search using them by selecting "Advanced Search" in the media view. However, when I go to the People view, the only stacks I see are ones I have created in PSE 11 that were not tagged in my previous version. The names of all my previously tagged people only show when I click to view "Groups". Clicking on the name in "Groups" simply leads to the message "No people exist in this group" - even though the tag clearly shows on the images in the Media view.
Is there any way to convert the people listed as groups back to people tags that will be recognised by PSE? Even when I run the facial recognition software and tag people here, they still do not show up in the People view if they were previously tagged in PSE 6.
Thanks.

  There is no conversion process because the people module is new to PSE11.
Importing from earlier versions simply brings in key words.
You need to decide if you want to stick with your key words and get this:
Or fully use the new feature and get suggested people stacks:

  • Why does PSE 13 not Show Notes for People Tags?

    When using PSE 9, editing People Tags includes Notes.  When using PSE 13, People Tags have no Notes.  Why?

    There is a completely new slideshow in PSE 13, which is the same for both platforms. It isn't as customizable as the old slide show editor.

  • Can someone explain why upgrading to PSE 12 resulted in two kinds of people tags?

    Can someone explain why upgrading to PSE 12 resulted in two kinds of people tags? One is the new Group tag (with its own two-person icon) and the other tag is the original People tag (one perswon silhouette icon) from previous version. If person already had been tagged the new People Group will not work. Anyone else having a problem or has found a solution?

    I would have no problem with using the new People tabs except for two things:
    1) There are pictures of people that facial recognition cannot handle. An example would be a profile view. These have already been tagged with old people tags. The new People Tab is dependent on facial recognition and will not accept these.
    I don't use facial recognition at all, sorry.
    2) The mystery is that the conversion from old to new was not automatic during the upgrade. Hours on telephone with Adobe tech did not resolve how one reconciled the two different tags. It appears to be more than a problem of naming the tags.
    As I explained, there was no conversion at all with my own categories, and I was too happy for that. From a number of other posts on that subject, I don't think that reconciling the two different kinds of tags is possible. I think I'll try a new conversion from an old PSE6 catalog so that I can play with the new scheme; that should work even without face tagging.

  • People Tags In PSE 11

    In PSE11 under people where I have all my people with picture thumbnails .............How can I change that thumbnail which PSE 11 automatically assigns to that person?     Nothing I have tried seems to work.  Your help is most appreciated.
    Further to this..... some of the thumbnails are blank with just a name.  How do I add a picture.     when I click on it I only get Remove person or rename? Help please!

    You can associate a people tag with say "Mary" with a photo using right click on the photo >> Add a person. Now you can move Mary's photo stack in People view to "Jones Family" group.
    People Groups will give you a hierarchical organization of your people. You can see the same if you go to people view, and move the switcher (a toggle switch between People & Group) present on the top left corner of the media grid towards "group".
    As for the second query, you can delete the Photo Stack corresponding to "Jane and Bill" in People View by selecting the same and hitting Delete key. This tag will be removed from all the files which have it. Also, a query like "Find all photos where Jane AND Bill are present" can be created easily using Advanced Search present under Find >> Using Advanced Search.
    Hope this answers most of your questions.
    Thanks

  • PSE 8 Face Recognition and PSE5 "People" Tags

    I have a lot of photos tagged in Windows PSE5  Organizer.  I have recently upgraded to PSE8 and need to think about how to align the two.
    A simpliifed example: In my current catalog, I have two tags upder the tag category "People": Bert and Ernie.  Over the years, I have tagged pitures with both Bert and Ernie with both tags.   When I do a search on "Bert" I find pictures with just Bert and pictures with both Bert and Ernie.   This has been satisfactory.
    Now PSE8 is finding Bert's face and asking me "Who is this?" or "Is this Bert?"  It creates brand new "Bert" tags.  (And oddly, they are in a different namespace than my old Bert tags since I don't get a "duplicate tag name" message.)
    How should I align my old tags wtih the new? 
    * Should I only drag the new "Bert" tag on those pictures with only Bert in them?
    * Or can I drag the new Bert tag on pictures with both Bert and Ernie?
    I don't understand the technology well enough yet to know if it can get confused by the latter.

    The Who Is This box is part of the new face-tagging in PSE 8.  When you invoke Find > Find People For Tagging, it will let you tag individual faces with People tags via the Who Is This box.  When a face is tagged, that tag can still be used like the old People tags -- you can assign it other pics, you can search for all pics that have the tag, etc.  But the Find People For Tagging command will also show the face associated with the tag.
    For some people (including me), if you type the name of a pre-existing People tag exactly into the Who Is This Box, PSE will use it.  But some others have reported that PSE makes a new, duplicate tag in this case.  I don't know why.  (But it is clear that Adobe didn't really think through the issues of people with existing catalogs.)
    The Find People For Tagging command creates its tags immediately under the People category.  You can merge the old tag with the new tag by selecting the old tag in the Keyword Tags pane, Edit > Select All, dragging the new tag (created by the Find People command) to those photos, and then deleting the old tag.   In the Keyword Tags pane, you can drag the new tag anyhere you want in the tag heirarchy.

  • How to Import People Tags from WLFG 2011 to PSE 9

    How can I inport people tags that I have created in Windows Live Photo Gallery 2011 into PSE 9? I use Windows 7, and I see that with Windows Explorer properties the WLFG people tags are listed under Description>People and the PSE people tags are listed under Description>Tags. In PSE properties, the WLFG people tags are not listed and the PSE people tags are listed under IPTC>Keywords. Help!

    I know that very well, like you said it did not need much googling. But my question was, if someone has e.g. ready-made plugin for that. Of course I could e.g. let WLPG find the faces and then tag those manually with rather small effort. But it would be nice, if that was done automatically. Like your answer sais, the tagged information is stored to the file, but in non-standard way. It is not rocket science to extract that information and do standard tagging with some plugin. But my coding skills are not enough - not even close. So the original question is still valid.
    Once more: I can do it manually, but can I make it more automatically. Well, I need to check clvrmnky's answer more carefully.

  • Imported people tags in PSE 11 - how do I merge them with existing people tags?

    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?

    Thanks. That helped a little bit, but not with the merging of the identical imported tags and People tags. They seems to be separate systems? Other tags you can merge by selecting both and right click < Merge Key word tags.
    I can of course do it all manually now that I'm able to search for both tag types in Media, but this seems unnecessary and idiotic...

  • PSE 11 People & Face tags & Metadata

    Hi All,
    I'm using PSE 11 and have imported some photos that were being used in Photo Gallery.  My problem is the People/Face tags done in Photo Gallery are not recognised by PSE at all.  It detected all other tags OK and imported them but not the People ones.  It seems (logically) that 'real' People tags are in a different metadata field than normal tags.  However the People tags in PSE are just stored in the 'normal' metadata tags field.
    So.. I guess I am asking if anyone knows of a way to get the people tags from metadata into the tags field which PSE will recognise in the same was as its face recon?  NB: I am aware of ways I can filter and retag but we are talking about 15,000 family history photos
    I'm a little baffled that PSE is not making use of the metadata People field at all - might help get rid of all those nasty breezedata files.  But I guess they need a few ways to try to lock people into PSE once they go there.  BTW I've been using since the old V1 photoshop album.  Never found enough of anything 'great' enough to move but always 'baffled' by things PSE does, doesn't do, takes away or breaks each release never with a patch or update.
    So any way to move data from People tag to Tags tag that still takes the face location?
    Thanks,
    Flano

  • Upgrade to PSE 11, missing people tags

    My understanding is that the "people" category should now be at the bottom of the tag list; mine is not.  Some of my previous people tags are in the people tab at the top but not all of them and not on the right at the end of the tag list at all.
    I've tried converting the old one a second time but they are still not there.  The last tag is the one for "smart tags."  I feel like I am just missing a step somewhere.  Can anyone help?

    Go to the Media module and ckick to show the Tags panel on the right.

  • PSE 11 - Cannot add people tags to photos from Media tab

    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?
    Thanks.

      To see imported keywords for people, in the Media tab click the menu:

    To add new people tags click the button on the task bar Add People and let the software run.
     

  • Magical People tags

    After scanning in and editing a photo in PSE 11, I save it to Organizer and it appears with 6 or 8 image (People) tags "magically" applied. This happens every time and it's the same People tags each time. Where are these names being cached and how can I delete them so that they are not being automatically applied to newly saved photos? And, how do I ensure that that photos that contain legitimate tags with these names are not also deleted?

    Below is the solution to get face tags from windows photo gallery to Lightroom for me. Be sure to backup your files.
    *** Backup your files ***
    Step 1: Mopve the people names and the rectangles for the people into a different field in the .jpg metadata
    Download Exiftool
    I ran the command below from the command prompt and in the folder with exiftool and the configuration file found from the link below:
    exiftool.exe -config ExifTool_config_convert_regions "-regioninfo<myregion" "foldername" -m -r -overwrite_originals_in_place
    "foldername" is the folder / path you want to make the change for. -m ignores minor errors, -r includes subfolders, -overwrite... means it will NOT create the otherwise default backup for each file changes (filename.jpg_original).
    Copy Windows Photo Gallery face tags to Google Picasa
    Step 2: Move people names to keywords for Lightroom. Do this if you're using lightroom, do not do it if you're using picassa. I haven't yet been able to check to see but I'm guessing I will have to "convert it to a person tag" in lightroom keywords since they show as descriptive tags but I have tested everything else.
    Add the people names to the keywords
    exiftool "-xmp:subject+<regionname" FolderName -overwrite_origional_in_place -m -r
    Where FolderName is the folder / path the pictures you want to edit are in

  • "People" tag not recognised, have 14,000 photo's to organise, please help!

    Hi, I have just moved to PSE 8 from Windows Live Gallery (Windows Vista, then Windows 7)
    Windows Live Gallery stores metadata in the photos, it puts things like places, events etc as "tags" which PSE8 see's fine, but I have 14,000 photo's tagged with peoples names and Windows Gallery stores them as "people" in the metadata and PSE8 doesn't see that so doesn't import the tag
    PLEASE tell me there's a way around this??!!!
    here's an example:

    Ah, the ambiguity of "tag".  I was referring to the number of distinctly named People tags, not the number of photos with the tags.  So the procedure for converting the WLPG tags would be:
    1. Pick the next distinctly named People tag, e.g. "John Smith".
    2. Create a new tag Descriptive tag named "John Smith".
    3. Click on the People tag "John Smith" to show all photos tagged with it.
    4. Select all those photos and drag them to the Descriptive tag "John Smith".
    5. Go to step 1.
    I'm guessing you could do a sustained rate of roughly 100 tags an hour, perhaps a little faster.  In my main catalog of 15K files, I currently have 150 People tags.

  • Import People tags from Windows Live Photo Gallery

    I've used Windows Live Photo Gallery for years and have over 15k images that have people tags embedded in the metadata for the files.  I recently downloaded the Photoshop Elements 13 trial and am trying to determine if the organizer that ships with it will meet my needs, however, I am not seeing a way to import People tags from my existing images.  I have imported the images, and most of the photo tags appear to have been imported, but not the people tags.  Is there any built-in way to import people tags from the file-based EXIF metadata, or an external tool or add-in that might be able to bring my WLPG People Tags into PE13?
    Thanks!

    Adding a 'Me too' to bump this up. Doing the '30 day evaluation' as I'm looking to change only because MSFT has abandoned the product and I some better editing on things like 'healing/clone brush' for the picture's I scan (using the very old Digital Image Pro).   Google's Picasa has no problem recognizing them including the location of the face selection (though it does like to recognize over top of them sometimes).
    I can deal with some of the amazingly frustrating clunkiness of the UI and navigation (they seriously need to hire some new usability designers) but it is a show stopper if the People aspect won't recognize existing tags from WLG and/or Picasa.

  • Changing normal tags to people tags

    Hello,
    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.
    Thanks!

    The easiest method is to simply drag the new people icon to a batch of selected photos.
    Start by ensuring the people icons are displayed at the bottom of the right-hand panel under the Media tab. If you cant see them as a list go to the top menu:
    View >>  Show People in Tag Panel
    Then click on the right pointing icon to the left of People Tags to expand the list (see image below) and you can also use the plus symbol to add new people icons.
    Now scroll to the top of your keywords and choose a persons name that  was imported by clicking on the chevron to the right of the highlighted (people) keyword. Press Ctrl+A to select all the photos of that person or use Shift+Click on the first and last. Now drag the new people icon for that person on to one of the thumbnails and it will be added to all the selected photos.
    Return to the top of the keyword list and right click on the old person tag and choose delete. That will remove it from all photos with that word.

  • People tags in Lightroom 6 and Windows Live Photo Gallery

    I think I'm finally ready to make the switch to lightroom from WLPG for photos management. I've used LR for a long time to do the edits but people tags are huge and kept all of my photo management in WLPG. I have 100k organized photos and they are all people tagged in WLPG. I just started the LR6 trial and noticed it doesn't honor existing WLPG people tags. Is there a way to import them / avoid redoing people tags for 100k pictures? Which, simply won't happen.
    Side question - people tags and coordinates export with jpg outputs from LR6 (assuming I don't intentionally turn them off at export), correct?
