What is Photo Tagging Gramplet
Photo Tagging Gramplet facilitates tagging people in photographs, i.e. associating regions of images with Gramps persons.
Features
- Image preview with scrolling and zooming
- List of persons tagged in the current photograph
- Adding and modifying regions and associations
- Detecting faces automatically
Installation
The Photo Tagging gramplet can be installed from within Gramps. Go to Edit -> Preferences and click the Check now button to see a list of plugins which are not installed on your computer.
Automatic detection of faces requires the following to be installed:
- OpenCV, its dependencies and Python bindings. This library should be available in common Linux distributions. For example, Debian package python-opencv provides the Python bindings for the library. It will require the core library packages (libopencv-*), as well as python-numpy package, to be installed. If OpenCV is not found, the automatic detection feature will be unavailable, but the gramplet should otherwise function correctly.
Usage
The gramplet window consists of:
- the toolbar
- the selection area
- the list of people tagged in the image
Toolbar

File:Add.gif Creates a new person and displays the Gramps 'Person' dialog.

Workflow
To tag a person, select a region of the image by pressing the left mouse button in one of its corners and dragging the pointer across the desired area. A rectangular frame will mark the selected area. Use the toolbar to select an existing person or add a new person to be associated with the region.
To modify a region, press the left mouse button over one of the corners and drag it to its new position.
To associate a region with a different person, click within the region and use the toolbar buttons to select or add a person. In this case, the previous association is discarded.
