The Named View

The Named view in People mode is populated with images of all the people that have been assigned a name in the ACDSee photo database. Images of identified people can be merged (for people with many like-sounding names such as "Jonathon", "Johnny", "John"), renamed, or removed. Double-clicking a person opens that person's Person view where all of the person's assigned faces reside and AI-prepared suggestions can be confirmed or denied.

The Named view will display the number of faces assigned to each person. More faces can still be assigned beyond 9999.

To Merge People:

  1. In People mode, in the Named view, select more than one person.
  2. Right-click one of the selected people.
  3. From the context menu, select Merge People.
  4. In the Merge People dialog, do one of the following two options:
  • Enter a new name in the Enter or select a name field, or
  • Select a name from the Enter or select a name dropdown.
  1. Click the OK button.

Merging can also be driven from the Edit menu.

To Rename a Person:

  1. In People mode, in the Named view, select a person to rename.
  2. Right-click the selected person.
  3. From the context menu, select Rename Person.
  4. Enter the person's new name in the highlighted bar beneath the person's image.
  5. Press Enter.

Renaming can also be driven by clicking an associated name box beneath the image, or from the Edit menu.

To Remove a Person or Persons:

  1. In People mode, in the Named view, select a single person or people to remove.
  2. Right-click the selected person(s).
  3. From the context menu, select Remove Person(s).
