What is your "end game"? Presumably all faces identified; but, do you
still intend to publish the pictures with numbers on, and a key (because
there's not room on the pictures to put actual names)?

How is progress going: what do you see as the realistic probability of
getting all, or say 90% (less than 10 faces unidentified)?

If things _are_ progressing reasonably well, i. e. the amount of input
you're getting is steadily whittling down the number of unidentifieds,
then I _wouldn't_ renumber them: from your family's point of view,
that'd just be confusing, however convenient it might be for _you_.

How about, in the final - assuming there _isn't_ room to put full names
- using initials instead (with an added digit for where there are
duplicates, e. g. John Smith and Joe Soap)? You could use this in the
intermediate stages too.>

Certainly, a layered scheme will make such manipulation easier. (The
only such that _I_ have is Word; in the past, mainly with documents
created by others, I've found its tendency to write text over pictures
to be a pain, but I could see it actually being useful if I needed layers.)

I'm still not really grasping what it is you want to automate, probably
because I'm not sure how many pictures we're talking about; your use of
"Series" above suggests it's a lot more than I had imagined.
