Hello,
I facetagged most of my pictures in Picasa.
MC does see those and reports them in the Format field under XMP tags:
Regions/mwg-rs:RegionList[1]/mwg-rs:Name : John Smith
Regions/mwg-rs:RegionList[2]/mwg-rs:Name : Johnny Doe

I don't want to put any rectangles with name labels in the pictures..
But I do want to copy that info to the keywords field or a custom field. Is this possible?
I tried manipulating tag(xmp: xxx) but it didn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't help with the issue, sorry.

But face tagging inside MC, with at least the ability to turn on and off display of the tags via a right click menu, or display them by hovering over the defined region, would be really brilliant.

I always loved the idea of face tagging, but never thought it was worth the effort until display of the tags was universal. Maybe if it just worked in MC that would be enough to motivate me.

Stupid me... I didn't realize the capability was there natively. Last time I checked (a couple of years ago, it wasn't there).
Great!

You mean just adding the names of people in an image. Yeah, that is there.

But you are losing the region information, and it isn't face tagging. Well, at least I think that is the case. I don't have face tagged images to test that with at the moment.

Face tagging, a la Facebook (hover to display, face recognition, region selection with a click if a face isn't recognised, etc.) would be great. At the moment you can't even list names and position in the image of people. (i.e. Bottom left: Barry Plant, second from left: Jenny Grey, etc.) Except as a Comment/Description of course.

Does Right Click > Library Tools > Update library from tags work?

This was introduced a while back. It should move the XMP people (names only) into the [People] field in MC.
Here's the original thread

I'm currently trying to overhaul and reconcile my separate Picasa and MC libraries, so haven't tried this for a few months, but was working last time I did Is a shame Picasa is now defunct and no longer being updated.

Yes. Right Click > Library Tools > Update library works.
I was totally under impression that MC ignores the face tags.
However, I was messing with Picasa settings the other day and checked the "store name tags in photos" option and boom MC started to import the tags... Very nice!
