Managing Tagged Faces

After CyberLink MediaShow has analyzed photos, it groups similar faces together in

the Tag Faces window. In this window you can review each face and associate it

with a person in your media library, or add a new person. You can also skip faces if

you want to add them later.

Note: use the drop-down to sort the tagged faces by name or tag count.

To manage the tag faces, for each group of faces, do one of the following:

click on Select and then select the person from the list that matches the face

in the photo.
