Facial Recognition within existing organised photos

RedWizard75 wrote on 11/3/2021, 4:58 AM

Hi Magix people,

I'm a trialer ... aka, download the free trial and giving it a go.

I have many folders grouped into Year and Month already. I'm looking to categorise all the photos into facial recognised categories.

I found the Tasks -> Organise -> Search for faces, but I can't figure out how to make it 'GO' ... I have selected 5 years of folders, assuming it would automagixly select the underlying photos, but the next step to get the selection to produce a stream of 'who is this' photos I am missing.

Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to archive them to a DVD/Blu-ray disc, just sort them into people categories ...

Thank you

Craig.

Hi John,

Thank you for your response.

Now I've hit the 10 face limit with the Trial version, but when I search the forum to see if the face limit is extended there doesn't seem to be a definite answer of 'Yes', the trial is 10, but the Full version is XX/Unlimited ...

I wondered if the responses were 'offline' for 'Yes' the trial is restricted to 10.

Cheers

Craig.
