How do I add face tags to a photo and identify my friends in CyberLink MediaShow 6?

CyberLink MediaShow now allows you to add face tags to a photo. You can manually tag the faces in your photos in the media library, or have CyberLink MediaShow auto detect and tag the faces for you. Once the faces are tagged, the photos are then categorized in the Faces section of the media library, if you choose to share them on the social media web site. You can also tag faces in 3D photos if required.

Auto Tagging Faces

• Easy drag and drop
  You can quickly tag all the faces in some photos, or whole photo albums, simply by dragging and dropping them on to the [Faces] section of the library side bar.

• Auto scan a group of photos for faces

1. Select the [Faces] section in the media library side bar.
2. Select the [Tag Faces] button
3. Select the source of your photos
4. Click [Start] button to begin the tagging process

• Auto tagging faces in the media tray photos

1. Select the photos you want to add the face tag
2. Drag them to the media tray
3. Click on [Edit] > [Tag Faces]
4. CyberLink MediaShow analyzes the specified photos for faces and then displays the results in the Tag Faces window.

Manually Tagging Faces

If CyberLink MediaShow missed faces during the auto tagging process, you can manually tag faces in your photos. To manually tag faces, do this:

1. Right-click on a photo in the media library and then select [Edit].
2. In the Edit window, select [Tag Faces].
3. Select [Create New Face].
4. Drag the square to the position in the photo where the face is located.
5. Resize the square if required and then select [Unknown].
6. Select an existing person from the list or select [Add New Person] to add a new person to the media library. Enter the person’s name and then select [OK] to add the person and tag the person in the photo.
7. Repeat the process to tag other faces in the photo. Select [Close] when you are done tagging faces, and then [Back] to return to the media window.

Find the unnamed or skipped photo

If CyberLink MediaShow already scanned some photos for faces, but you skipped some photos during the tagging process, you can still find them:

1. Click [Edit] > [Tag Faces] at the top of the media window
2. You will see the [Unnamed] and [Skipped] section
