iPhoto 09 Faces and Lightroom
Is it possible to use iPhoto FACES metadata with Lightroom? If not, Lightroom needs a FACES feature of its own!
I’m confused

Inappropriate?I haven't used iPhoto 09 myself so this is an educated guess: LR will not use faces-metadata because I assume iPhoto is storing the face-info in an proprietary fasion. There are no XMP/IPTC fields for person names, so I guess iPhoto is just storing the information in the database.
I agree that the feature looks handy, but you get close to the same functionality in LR using keywords. -
Inappropriate?Faces uses a proprietary format and Lightroom cannot access it. We are investigating various features (including face recognition) for future releases.
I’m OK

Inappropriate?Since Adobe and XMP goes hand in hand, please consider making face-information a part of the XMP standard!

Inappropriate?Ideally, I'd rather see Adobe invest in connecting to iPhoto, not reproduce the functionality of it. I use lightroom as the photographer in the house, but my wife uses iPhoto to find photos to share/print, etc.. I can't justify the cost of LR for each of our computers, but I don't want my iphoto or LR data to be an island.

I'm just trying Picasa to add Face Tags to my Lightroom Library. It's still a lot of work, but much less than tagging 18.000 photos manually...
I’m unconcerned
