I have a large quantity of photos that have large groups of people in them. I am currently working on facial recognition of just family and very close friends confirming faces. When I am going through suggested people in the face recognition area, some of the suggested people are not yet in my people library but I might want to add them at a later date. If I choose the “ignore this face suggestion”, will the program always ignore that face or will it only ignore it for the person I’m currently working on? In other words, will it suggest that face at a later date if I add that person to my library? If I think I may want to add the person it is suggesting at a later date, should I be using the “this is not*” option instead?
Ignore or not to ignore
Steve Ohio what “ignore this face suggestion” does is basically deletes this particular face on this particular image from the library, so it is no longer offered as suggestion to any one. So yes, if you think you might want to add this person to the library later, you should consider using “this is not” option instead. Or instead you can just assign this face to a new person right away.
a year later
Andrey I’ve been continuing my processing of 130,000+ photos and I am convenced that some of the faces that have been ignored return. Although, as you say, they may be from several similar pictures so I cannot be certain. Is there some way of noting an ignored image so I can tell if it has really returned?
Thanks,
Wayne

Can’t imagine any simple way do that, no.
This functionality is quite old and relatively mature, so if there would be bugs, I would know already. I think it is safe to assume that those faces come from duplicates or near-duplicates. Until proven otherwise
