How to Import Face Tags to Picasa
Google Picasa's facial recognition system automatically applies facial/name tags based on an advanced detection algorithm. You can use Picasa to import facial tags; however, the system is only compatible with Google's Picasa Web Albums. If you have name/facial tags in your Picasa Web Albums, you can easily import them into the Picasa desktop program.
