Solved What current Photo Software has the ability to do facial recognition?

[Mike Lynch]

I wish Google had continued to upgrade and support Picasa.

Since they haven't, is there comparable Software that does what Picasa did and specifically Facial Recognition?

I have a significant number of family photos that I would like to scan, identifying family members.

Then I could label them in groups so I could distribute the groups to the appropriate family.

Google photos does that if you upload to its site

Picasa was a Google product.

Thank you.

I made the Microsoft to Google correction to my original post.

If you upload your photos to the Google Site, are they still yours or can Google use them?

If you upload to Google, are they still yours (Private) or can Google use them (Public)?

If uploaded to the Google Site, do your photos remain Private or do they become Googles, Public?

If you don't mind paying for it, you can use Nero MediaHome which has had facial recognition for years-

Nero Download Center - Overview

Note that the free trial likely doesn't have this feature but you might give it a try.

I looked through the NERO Link but I did not find any mention of Facial Recognition.
Perhaps I missed it.
Please help me zero in on it.

The attached is from NeroMediaHome in the Nero v2015 suite but it's the same in all subsequent versions.

 

[Mike Lynch]

Thank you.

I will purchase a copy of Home today.

I appreciate you help.

I don't know if they offer a permanent and subscription choices for licenses but, if they do, I would just get the permanent license. That feature shouldn't change much so paying for another copy when the next version comes up is unnecessary.

By the way, I (Wither 1 there) offer unofficial support for Nero products here-

Excellent!

 

[wither 2]

Are you referring to the software?

 

[Mike Lynch]

No, the information you provided.

 

[wither 2]

Did you get the software?

 

[Mike Lynch]

I am able to purchase today, last week my Bank Account was a little low.

I have a question you might be able to answer!

Does Nero Facial Recognition have the ability to allow a User to select an individual's face and have the Software search ALL the photos for those that contain that individuals face?

YIKES!

I tried again to find out about Nero's Facial Recognition abilities.

In doing so, I stumbled onto / into so many Negative reviews of Nero 2022 that I am afraid to try it.

I need a simple solution as I have a relatively low tolerance to being misled.

For now, I'll proceed with an old copy of Picasa until I better understand what's available in the market.

Thanks for you feedback.

I'd really like to know where you "stumbled onto/into so many Negative reviews of Nero 2022." In most cases, those people haven't bothered to ask tech support or myself about a particular problem they are having.

Yes, it will identify the face on any photo that has the face of someone in any photo you've given a name to. That's why it's called "facial recognition." Note that this applies to photos in folders you've identified in the Nero MediaHome Library. Don't put something like a complete drive or partition in the Library or it will take a while for Nero MediaHome to start, depending on how large the drive/partition is.

Also note there is a 30 day "no questions asked" return policy.

If you get it and have any questions, either address them with tech support or with me at the Afterdawn Nero forum I gave you the link for. This is a Win 7 forum and is not the correct place to address questions about Nero products.

OK!
