![]() One thing Windows Live Photo Gallery does well is offer users a way to categorize their friends into folders. It's also annoying if you're going through a "roll" of photos from an event where you have many of the same people. If you have a large address book, or friends with slightly similar names this really stinks. Instead of surfacing recently-used contacts to the top when beginning to type a name, it consistently puts things in alphabetical order. This speeds up the process (assuming you have the people in there already), but here again, the user workflow has not been well thought out.

This leaves you with an additional tag the system has not yet assigned. You can click on multiple photos with the same person and drag them over to your source list of "people tags," but this does not automatically assign whatever face the program found to that person. ![]() This wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that built-in tools for organizing require that you go through each photo one at a time to name each face it's found. ![]() As for recognizing who is in those photos and putting them into groups, the legwork gets put entirely on the user. That was unfortunately the fastest part of the process though, since "detection" is about all it does. In fact, in our tests, the software came out the fastest, scanning through our test photos in just under eight minutes. It's largely the same as the Windows Photo Gallery software that ships with Windows but adds a few extra features like a photo syncing between computers, a panoramic stitching tool, batch resizing tools, and facial detection.īeing the oldest software with facial detection in this bunch did not mean Windows Live Photo Gallery was the slowest. Windows Live Photo Gallery is Microsoft's free Web-enabled desktop photo library management, editing, and sharing software.
