Hi all,
before fully embracing ACDsee Mac Studio 9 I would like to check if it is possible, if needed, to copy the face data to either keywords or the ITPC standard.
Thanks in advance!
Yes, this is possible.

Awesome 8)
Now I just need to find out how ^^
Use "exiftool -s FILE" to determine what information is available, then use this command to add the desired tag to IPTC Keywords:
exiftool "-keywords+<TAG" FILE
or to XMP:Subject:
exiftool "-subject+<TAG" FILE
- phil
I believe that ACDSee keywords are stored in XMP-acdsee:Keywords, so you would replace TAG with that.
Finally completed a successful test for those who are interested:
exiftool "-xmp:subject+<xmp:regionsregionlistname"
Apparently face tags are stored in "regions region list name" by ACDsee
apparently the "Regions Region List Name" only has one face tag even if there are more faces tagged in the photo. Does anyone know how to fix that?
Update to a more recent version of ExifTool. The tag should be called RegionName. You must have a really old version if it is RegionsRegionListName.

I think you have to use the acdsee.config file (https://github.com/exiftool/exiftool/blob/master/config_files/acdsee.config) to get the names from an ACDSee region, which will return the region names as ACDSeeRegionName.
I was talking about MWG regions.
A sample file would be helpful.

Yes, but they are talking about ACDSee regions, as per title of the thread. This post (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=10748.msg57132#msg57132) has a sample and that thread is about ACDSee regions.
@Ineound, download the config file I linked above and put it in the same directory as exiftool. You could then use this command
exiftool -Config acdsee.config "-subject+<ACDSeeRegionName" /path/to/files/
Thanks StarGeek. For that sample, you need to use the -a option to see the names of all the regions since this is not extracted as a List-type tag:
> exiftool JSilva_092517_8623.jpg -regionsregionlistname -a
Regions Region List Name : Austin Powers
Regions Region List Name : Jane Doe
Regions Region List Name : Mini Me
Regions Region List Name : John Doe
Regions Region List Name : Mike Miller
So to copy all of them you would need to do this:
exiftool "-+subject<regionsregionlistname" ...
The "+" adds to the queued values so all of the names are added.
