How can I force Photo app on the Mac to scan for faces in a given picture?

I have a few pictures where the photo app has detected no faces at all.

Is there a way to force the app to rescan those picture for faces?


I have noticed on El Capitan Photos that manually adding faces on individual photos (cmd+i, click circle with + , position manually and resize circle, type person name) then skipping forward one by one (right arrow or slide) will rescan sequential photos.

Then going directly to Faces and clicking person face which you were working on will suggest that more photos could be added.

This made Photos to gain additional 10-20% face recognition for me.


You can manually add a face by clicking the the "I" info button and then click "add faces" in the floating palette
