Yeah, I was impressed with the accuracy of adults - even adults over 15+ years - but small children and babies? Picasa thinks they're all the same.
[QUOTE=ptyork;712847]I'll be interested to see how this information is stored. I have a feeling that Jason is correct. Picasa rarely modifies any original photos, so it is likely tucked away in the picasa.ini file rather than in the embedded meta data.
It's worse than that - I'll be posting about this on the front page, but essentially the data is stored in picasa.ini files AND the local Picasa database. That means it's a 100% non-multi computer solution. No way to sync the Picasa database that I'm aware of without bad things happening. So I'm not going to use the face detection stuff, even though I'd like to.

I think that's part of the problem - there's no EXIF/IPTC tag I'm aware of for holding data about faces in a photo. I think that's the reason why every program that offers this feature does it in a non-metadata way.
