Using the People Filter Feature

After uploading your photos to a Gallery, you can then have the system automatically detect different people within the photos through face recognition*. This allows you to easily locate all the photos containing a particular individual by filtering by the people appearing in photos.

*Note: The People Filter will only visible to Clients and Guests being invited to view the Gallery when they've been added to the Gallery as a Client or Guest. Normal website visitors or non-Client visitors will not see the People Filter.

Identifying People in a Gallery

To set up People Face Filter in a gallery, follow these steps:

1. Click on the People feature icon.
2. Choose Click here to begin scanning.
3. You will be able to see the progress of the system detecting different faces in the Gallery.
4. Once complete, you'll see all the different individual faces seen in the photos, across the top of the Gallery.

Note: If you upload any new photos to the same Gallery, in the future, you will need to run the People feature face recognition again to detect the newly uploaded photos.

Filtering by People

To filter the Gallery by a specific individual, click on the circle with their recognized face. You can also select multiple people to see their recognized photos – click each recognized face you want to add to the filter.

To remove someone from the filter, just click on their face again to deselect them.
