You can also peek into a stack by selecting the top thumbnail and pressing the S key to expand the stack, then press it again to collapse the stack (or press and hold the S key to quickly expand then collapse when you release the S key). Click the small number in the upper-left corner of the stack thumbnail to expand the stack and confirm all photos are indeed of the same person. You can start working as faces appear, but it can be worth waiting to let it auto stack faces of the same person together so you can name them all at once.
Start with a few collections or folders that you know contains photos of people you want to keyword with names to help you get a feel for the process as well as speed things along. Note that People view has a few special sort functions of its own accessible in the Toolbar. In my experience, the more you use it, the faster it goes, so don’t be too put off at first by the false positives and occasional pets that may appear. LrC’s facial recognition is far from fool-proof, but it is a lot better than having to manually look for a face in every photo. As it finds what it considers faces of the same person it will stack those together for easier bulk tagging. Once you’ve enabled the finding of faces you’ll see thumbnails of each face that is found within the folder or collection you are viewing appear in the main content area as each face is indexed. You can always tell LrC to start indexing the entire catalog by enabling it via the button in the Identity Plate or by going to Lightroom Classic > Catalog Settings > Metadata (PC: Edit > Catalog Settings > Metadata) and checking the box next to Automatically find faces in all photos (which is also how you can pause/disable entire catalog indexing if needed). This way it will only search for faces within the folder or collection you are viewing. My recommendation is to click Only find faces as needed to get the hang of how it works before going all in on the entire catalog (which can take some time). When you enter People view for the first time you’ll be presented with the choice of having LrC start finding faces in your entire catalog or only find faces as needed. Contained within the People view of the Library module, which can be accessed by clicking the People icon in the Library module Toolbar or pressing O, you’ll find all of the tools to have LrC begin finding and gathering all of the photos with faces (or what it thinks are faces) so you can name them. However, leveraging the power of face recognition to assist you in manually finding and keywording the photos of people in your library is sure to put a smile on your face. Organizing your photo library is one of the main jobs of Lightroom Classic (LrC), but it is not nearly as much fun as editing.
