Our friends over at Polar Rose have made a major update to their Name Tagger Widget. They have made it a lot easier to tag people in albums by matching faces, which means that you can tag one person who appears in many photos in one go! Sounds pretty neat huh? Well, here's how it works:
1) Go to one of your Jalbums that you have added the Name Tagger Widget to
2) Wait until a green bar appears in the Name Tagger saying "Name the people appearing in these photos". Click it.
You are now directed to Polarrose.com to do the actual name tagging. The result will be displayed in your own Jalbum afterwards.
3) Name the person appearing and the picture and 'process'
4) If the Name Tagger has found any matches in your album they should appear now. If they are correct click "proceed". If there are wrong matches in there, click these individually. A red crossing means that they will not be named.
5) Repeat this 'til the Name Tagger has no further suggestions.
6) In the following step you can manually merge together pictures by clicking multiple faces of the same person and click merge on top of any of the selected faces.
7) When done click 'process'
8) In the final step you name the groups individually remaining in your album. When finished click 'done'.
Returning to your Jalbum the Name Tagger will display your content telling you and your visitors how many people were found in your Jalbum, how many of them are named and how many that are un-named. The top 5 people will appear as thumbnails in the expanded Widget as well. There's also a search option to search for tagged people on the Polar Rose site.
