Question asked on Apr 17, 2016

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to read this - I hope you can help me.

I have been using Photo Gallery on Windows 8 to tag faces in 26k photos.  I have realised however, that changing the tags might give better results - for example, instead of just using "Child 1" as the tag, I could use "Child 1 - Young" and "Child 1 - Teenage" to improve the success rate for PG to recognise faces.

So, I guess there are 3 questions.

1. How do I get PG to "forget" the current "Child 1" recognition "pattern" (or whatever it is called)?

2. How do I get it to re-process a whole stack of photos to learn 2 new "patterns" (one for young and one for teenage)?

3. Can I bulk replace the tag "Child 1" with "Child 1 - Young" using PG or do I need another tool for that?

TIA for your time.

Jason
