Faces

Sample album

1 Tagged area

Turtle skin shows all tagged areas on photos if you turn on Show regions (Face tags).

Toggle the face tags' visibility by the People button. You can set up the default visibility with the Open by defaultRegions option.

If Search is on, when you click a tagged area the skin will search the same person throughout the whole album.

2 Select a name

When you hover the People button all the tags will apear on a popup window – by hovering one of them, the area gets highlighted.

3 Toggle facetags

Toggle the visibility of all areas by clicking this button. This preference will be kept for one hour within the same browser session.

4 Search for a name

The search results window after you've clciked on one of the areas. Please note, this functionality will only work if Search is on.

Tagging faces can be done with Picasa or Windows Live Photo Gallery, or by jAlbum's own Set area tags... tool.

If you use Picasa, don't forget to turn on Options → Store name tags in photo before you start tagging photos, so Picasa saves the name tags into JPG files directly instead of storing them in its proprietary database. If you turn on this option later, the face tags already made will not be written to JPG files, only those added after that point.
