Hi,

I would like to ask how I can search for photos that have had face detection and names, from Windows File Explorer or other tools?

Many thanks
Best,
Bobby

What other tools do you have available? Are you willing to spend money for this?

Hello Bobby,

Welcome to the PhotoDirector forum

If you've face tagged a batch of photos, then exported them from PhD, it's quite easy to locate them in Windows file explorer.

Navigate to the containing folder, even if it's simply "Pictures"

In the search bar at the top right of the folder, type "people: name" [name = Bobby, Steve or whomever you're looking for]

Press Enter and all photos tagged with the person's name will be displayed.

The same (similar) thing applies to regular tags, but in that instance type "tag: word" [word = mountains, beach or whatever tag you're searching for].

Hi,
Thank you very much for your response, this really helps me.
When you say export the files, does PD change or remove any of the any of the properties of the photo file, e.g. JPEG ratio or remove GPS information?

Thanks again
Best
Bobby
