Celebs Archive

Celebs Archive is your DAM's built-in facial recognition and identity catalog. It scans every photo in your library for faces, mines names from existing photo descriptions, and builds a searchable roster of recognized people — so searching "Jennifer Lopez" in your DAM returns every photo she appears in, even if those photos were never manually tagged.

Key Features

• Live Stats Dashboard: At a glance, see how many faces have been detected across your library, how many people are cataloged, and how many matches are waiting for your review.
• Persons Catalog: Browse all recognized individuals as a card grid. Each card shows the person's name, category (Celebrity, Actor, Musician, Athlete, Model, Politician, etc.), verified photo count, and any pending provisional matches.
• Search & Filter: Search the catalog by name or known alias, and narrow results by person type. Sort by most photos, alphabetically, or recently updated.
• Identity Records: Each person entry supports aliases (stage names, maiden names), character roles, a short bio, and optional reference links for cross-checking identity.
• Review Queue: When the system is confident it has matched a face to a known person, that match lands here awaiting your approval. Each card shows a cropped face thumbnail, the suggested name, and a confidence score. Approve or reject with a single click.
• Caption Mining: Names already embedded in your existing photo captions — such as "L–R: Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep…" — are automatically extracted to seed the catalog. Well-captioned archives get a head start with no manual effort.
• Automatic Writeback: Once you verify a match, the person's name is written back into the photo's metadata, making them discoverable in all DAM searches and portals immediately.
• Processing Monitor: The Jobs tab shows the status of each background step — face detection, name extraction, matching, and writeback — so you always know where processing stands.

How to Use

1. Open Celebs Archive from the sidebar. The stats bar at the top shows a live summary of your library's recognition progress.
2. Click the Persons tab to browse your identity catalog. Search for a name, or use the type filter to see only Actors, Musicians, Athletes, etc.
3. Click any person card to open their full record, see matched photo thumbnails, aliases, and roles. Use the edit form to update their name, category, or bio.
4. To add someone new, click New person, enter their name and category, and save. They become available for future matching immediately.
5. Click the Review Queue tab — the badge shows how many matches are pending. For each card, review the face crop and suggested name, then click the green checkmark to approve or the red X to reject.
6. Visit the Jobs tab to confirm background processing is progressing normally across all pipeline steps.

Tips

• Start with the highest-confidence matches in the Review Queue — the percentage shown on each card indicates how certain the system is.
• Rejecting a wrong match is just as valuable as approving a correct one: both actions help future matching improve.
• If a person goes by more than one name, add the alternate as an alias so searches find them either way.
• Verified identities are shared across your entire DAM — every portal and catalog benefits automatically.
