Hi Nivard, I don't use Picasa for my photos, opting to use Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop. In your experience, how does the Face Recognition in Picasa handle the aging of a person? Does the recognition get steadily worse or does it update its database as time goes on ? Regards, Kevin.

Hi Kevin I confess its not of primary concern to me so have not really studied its function to any depth however I found it uncannily accurate in matching most photo's of the same person, young and old If it doesn't get the right person it usually matches a sibling or a parent I found Exactly how accurate it could be I can't say but found it relatively reliable with my photo's Of course it did throw up a few oddities but that is to be expected Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hi Nivard, > > I don't use Picasa for my photos, opting to use Adobe Lightroom and > Adobe Photoshop. > > In your experience, how does the Face Recognition in Picasa handle the > aging of a person?
