Hi Tom,
<div>Reset and clear all faces does exactly that: ALL faces, including manually created ones.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In 8.7.0 we introduced a new feature that saves when a face suggestion is rejected so the next time the face is run through the recognition engine <span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">(face classifier)</span> the next best match
is returned. Clearing rejected face matches deletes this saved data so the face classifier will return the strongest match. Clearing rejected face matches has no effect on Unknown, Unconfirmed, or Ignored faces. It just deletes a “block list” fed to the
face classifier during matching.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div>Mike</div>

<div>
<div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">If both overlapping regions are confirmed, then the face engine shouldn’t suggest a name. It won’t suggest a name for a confirmed or ignored face region.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">OK, now that I’ve painstakingly cleaned up my face tags (removed duplicates, “tree” faces, and “sidewalk” faces) and
installed 8.7.0 pre-release on Windows 11, I tried another scan with detection and recognition set at 10 and Recognize Faces Only. It does a fine job of recognizing faces, and it wants me to confirm the faces it finds. However, my understanding was that if
a face tag already exists for a face, it will skip that face. Instead, it simply puts another rectangle inside the existing one with a (generally correct) suggestion. If I do nothing and I am mousing over faces in a picture, the suggestion will pop up inside
the existing rectangle even though the face is already identified. If I ignore the suggestion, then I’m assuming it will put an Ignored box inside the existing rectangle, which doesn’t seem quite right either.</span></div>
