Has anyone used Facial Recognition? I need some hints and tricks.

I took a lot of pictures of my grandson's soccer game and want to run all the pics(only those) through facial recognition to sort out the kids and give each parent the pictures of their child.

I am running PSE 14.

Questions:

1. Can I just do certain pictures or do I have to do all my pictures in a catalog?
2. How long does it take? I decided to do my entire catalog(15,000 pics) and after several hours stopped it since it was progressing so slowly. Decided something was wrong.
3. I guess I did this sometime in the past on this catalog since when I went to People a lot of people showed up. None of the circle icons had faces though, they were all grayed out. How do I get faces into the circles?

I am sure I will have other questions but this is my starting point.

Thanks

Sue

I have never myself used facial recognition, so this answer might be suspect.

That being said, I suggest you create a brand-new "catalog" just for these soccer game pictures and then run the facial recognition process on them.

Thus, the organizer would only need deal with that amount of files and not an entire lifetime's worth of pictures.

Recently, our old original E7 catalog had little-by-little gotten so slow that the simplest request seemed to take forever; finally, in desperation, I created a new catalog and, compared to the old over-full one, this new catalog is lightning fast.

I often find it to be a big hang-up with the organizer that many of it's functions seem to want to process an entire catalog, rather than just a folder full.

Thanks for reading and I hope it is helpful.

On a poverty-level Kentucky budget, a 24-exposure roll of film would have two Christmases and a summer vacation on it and we might have to wait another six months before being able to afford developing the film.
I still have trouble remembering that it doesn't cost anything to take thousands of pictures; it just almost seems impossible to be true.

I do repair/optimize on my catalogs on a regular basis and that seems to keep them operating efficiently.
