Being very careful, select the name for the person (i.e.Right click on one of the selected photos and select “Move to New Person”.In the left panel select a name from the People section, and then select all the faces/photos for that person.
If you see it worked, continue with you other photos. The following method is what worked for me. The is just in case something messes up and can’t be fixed. If you want a way to undo any of this, make sure you have a currently backup (Time Machine, for instance) of your photos and Picasa library database. Alternatively you can check your test images using this website: Backup This will give you full access to your EXIF tags and other metadata. If you want a desktop tool to view extensive tag data on your photos download and install Xee. You can do this with a free desktop app or online. So test, test, test before running your whole library through any of these procedures.įirst you need a way to test if any of the below methods are actually working on your machine. I understand different 3.9 subversions have different results when it comes to getting face data to apply to existing photos. This is the latest version of Picasa as of today. I have tested these instructions on Picasa 3.9.13.29 for Mac OS X (10.8.2), on January 28th 2013. What follows is detailed instructions on how I (and many other people) have embedded the face recognition tags into existing photos. Only new photos will get the desired embedding. Meaning all your existing photos will NOT have the face data embeded even when this feature is activated. However, Google in their wisdom decided to not make this retroactive. Picasa 3.9.x allows us to embed the face recognition data into an XMP tag on our photos.
