Once you’ve labeled faces, it is a simple matter to display all images including that person. You can tell Lightroom to always look for faces (which can slow it down quite a bit when it is first browsing new folders or collections), or only when you ask it. The UI also supports labeling or rejecting batches of images at once. Names use Autocomplete, and you can outline any faces that Lightroom misses. The interface for identifying or rejecting faces is very slick, and probably about as quick as I can imagine it being. However, I did find it useful for grouping some faces found in art - such as Buddha faces on statues. I experimented with labeling some of my wildlife portraits, but it drove the recognizer around the bend (it started finding faces in bushes and weeds). Similarly, it also finds a lot of faces in statues, photos of paintings, or animals.
That kind of makes sense, but sometimes the matches seem like quite a stretch. It seemed to be more likely to suggest faces that had been seen more frequently. The system does have some glitches, of course.
It even did a good job of recognizing images of people from different decades of their life once it had enough labeled images to work with. I found the system quite good, similar in accuracy to the online version that is part of Shutterfly’s ThisLife photo-sharing service. It pops up sets of images that it thinks belong to the same person, and asks you to either name that person or tell that what it found either wasn’t a face at all, or that it isn’t one you care about. To get started, you simply ask Lightroom to find the faces in a collection or folder. Its headline feature is definitely facial recognition - the same way you can display images by location, now you can display them by person when an identifiable face is in the shot. We had a chance to go hands on in advance of the announcement.
With this Creative Cloud update, Adobe introduces Lightroom 6. There is something for everyone, with the addition of facial recognition, performance improvements, some new editing tools, and additional mobile app features.
