A method for searching a collection of digital images on a display screen, comprising: entering an image review mode and displaying on the display screen a first digital image from the collection of digital images; designating a face contained in the first digital image by using an interactive user interface to indicate a region of the displayed first digital image containing the face; using a processor to execute an automatic face recognition algorithm to identify one or more additional digital images from the collection of digital images that contain the designated face; and displaying the identified one or more additional digital images on the display screen.
