In reply to photobyjohnbo.I used it to find pictures of honorable, not the recognition part but just searching for people. From there I did my own categorizing. LOL :)

In reply to Marsha.Excire works well for what I need. I only use it to catalog finished photos and the Lightroom plug-in for Excire does that quite well. I understand what you are saying and I do use the facial recognition built into Lightroom, though not as much as I once did when it was first introduced.

Hi John, I have both Adobe Bridge and Lightroom, and they don’t bridge keywords between them. Also Bridge doesn’t remember all the photos you’ve spent time classifying if you haven’t opened them in a long time. I’ve quit using it as much and I’ve gone over to Lightroom because it pulls up more photos when I search. This is a helpful feature when you do photo challenges. Excire seems interesting, but a little overwhelming, because I hate starting over. Unless it does it all.

In reply to pattimoed.Thanks, Patti. Excire doesn't have facial recognition, so that tag would have to be added manually. Now that my images are imported, whenever I add new images to the folder, I synchronize them to Excire. Usually that small number of manual tags takes but a few minutes.Do you have Adobe Lightroom? If so, that program does do facial recognition.

Hi John. This information is so helpful. To be honest, I’m a bit overwhelmed with organizing my photos. A question….if you added the keyword “Lynn” for your wife, will the program “learn” to identify all photos with Lynn?
