images. By creating tags such as “family,” “children,” or “birthday,”

Finding people in your photos
Sorting photos according to the people in them is a great way to
organize your photos. There are two ways to tag people in your
photos:
• Face recognition — analyzes facial characteristics and uses
reference photos to build a list of possible matches. People with
similar characteristics are sorted into groups, making it easier for
you to look through your photos and identify people. You can
move photos between groups until all photos of the same person
are in one group, and then type a name for the group to
automatically tag all photos in the group with the name of that
person.
• Manual tagging — lets you tag people manually in your photos.
You can add multiple tags to the same photo, or tag objects or
other areas of the photo with the names of people, to make sure
that they are notified when the photo is uploaded.
Importing your friends list from sharing sites
You can import your friends list from sharing sites, such as Facebook
and Flickr, and link the names in your photos with names from the
sharing sites. When the local tags in Corel PaintShop Pro are linked
with the sharing site tags, the people who appear in the photos will be
automatically notified when you upload the photos to the site. No
need to tag them again!
To sort photos by people
Manage workspace
1 In the Navigation palette, click the Collections tab.
2 Navigate to the folder containing the images that you want to
sort.

3 In the Organizer palette, click the Find People button
on the
Organizer toolbar, and choose one of the following options:
• Scan selected photos
• Scan current folder
• Scan subfolders
If no photos are selected, face recognition is applied to the whole
folder.
After you run face recognition, the photos are sorted into groups
of people and placed in a folder called Unnamed.
4 If the Manage workspace is not in Thumbnail mode, click the
Thumbnail Mode button
in the upper-right corner of the
Manage workspace to view the groups.
The group containing the most photos is listed first. Within each
group, the most recent photos are displayed first. People that
appear in only one photo are grouped together in a group called
Single Face Group.
5 Click in the title bar of a group and type a name for the group.
All photos in the group are tagged with the name.
If you want to increase the accuracy of the face recognition
results, you can select 10 clear photos of the same person and
run face recognition on those 10 photos first. These reference
photos will increase the accuracy of future facial matches for
that person.
