In My Photos
panel at the upper-left side of the screen, select People to view the People View.In this view, you can access People clusters where each cluster contains photos of a particular person. The total number of photos for each person is listed below the cover photo of the cluster.
Note:
When I access the People View, why does Lightroom CC display 'No People Found Yet'?
Initial indexing of your photos may take some time. The ‘No People Found Yet’ message is displayed when Lightroom is still analyzing all your photos to find people or when there aren't any people in your photos. This analysis takes place on Adobe’s servers and does not require you to have the Lightroom CC app open and running on your computer. You can close Lightroom CC and continue to use your computer without impacting the time to complete the analysis.
You can use the following options to sort People clusters in the People View:
- Count (Number of photos in a cluster)
- First Name and Last Name (Alphabetical order of people)
