Laird, I too use photo editing but thanks for the tip about merging pictures. I hadn't thought of that and it certainly solves some problems.I've recently been trying out Picasa in place of my other photo editing software and really like the idea they have of automatically creating a file of facial images from every image saved. It's a great help identifying unknown faces esp in groups. Not 100% accurate but certainly points me in the right direction. Amazing too how often with a baby/child face it suggestions an older adult I have already identified. If the baby/child doesn't already have their adult image identified it's interesting the suggestions Picasa makes. Shows how characteristics are passed down even if I can't always see it. I have to spend time entering names of faces I know but done once it quickly picks up recognising most of them in later images. Other software probably does the same now but my other editing software was older versions that didn't have it.
