Thanks. The pictriev stuff is interesting. Face recognition for the public is slowly getting better (we wish we had the stuff used by the government, and the government wishes it had the stuff used by the Vegas casinos ;D). Picasa and iPhoto have their apps, and Facebook has something called Photofinder; even if the software respects privacy options, you might get lucky with a public-photo search (I'm not a member, I've never tried it). I took Pictriev for a spin with two photos of Phil: the eyebrow photo matched him with J-Lo ???, but the second was spot on--it even made a guess at his age. I think it has to be a full-front face shot to be effective.

I never knew about photofinder, my facebook friends who are tagged come up :tup:

After i downloaded the application and tried to get it work, my laptop crashed. I guess it is uncompatible with the programme. :groan: :'(

PhotoScape beats Picasa hands down, IMO. If you hate Picasa (as I do), then you may want to check out PhotoScape. Tons of effects, good UI, and simple to use. Mainly for manipulating photos. And it's FREE. :snicker:
Even has an EXIF info viewer, and a direct link to Pictriev (for searching faces on the internet).
