Designating a tag icon

1. A method, including:

receiving at a processor an indication that a user has created a new tag;

receiving an indication that the user has assigned the new tag to an object that has been detected from an image, the object being a subimage comprising a portion of the image;

determining whether the object is the first object that is assigned the new tag;

in the event that the object is the first object that is assigned the new tag, automatically designating the object as a default tag icon for the new tag, the default tag icon being a graphical representation of the new tag, wherein the new tag previously had no tag icon and a given tag has at most one tag icon;

in the event that the object is not the first object that is assigned the new tag, not designating the object as the default tag icon for the new tag; and

displaying the tag icon adjacent to the tag in a plurality of interfaces that are used to display the tag.

2. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the tag icon is displayed with tag data, in a menu bar, and/or with an image to indicate a tag.

3. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the object is designated in response to receiving the tag.

4. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the object includes at least a portion of the image and/or a face.

5. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the object is associated with a location in the image.

6. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the object is associated with a probability that the image includes a detection object.

7. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the object is normalized.

8. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the object has been automatically detected from the image.

9. A method as recited in claim 1 , further including providing an interface for designating the tag icon, wherein the interface includes the object.

10. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein designating is based at least in part on user input.

11. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the tag includes tag data that is user specified.

12. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the tag includes a name.

13. A method as recited in claim 1 , further including displaying objects associated with the image and receiving an indication that one of the objects should be the tag icon.

14. A computer program product for displaying a tag icon, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:

receiving an indication that a user has created a new tag;

receiving an indication that the user has assigned the new tag to an object that has been detected from an image, the object being a subimage comprising a portion of the image;

determining whether the object is the first object that is assigned the new tag;

in the event that the object is the first object that is assigned the new tag, automatically designating the object as a default tag icon for the new tag, the default tag icon being a graphical representation of the new tag, wherein the new tag previously had no tag icon and a given tag has at most one tag icon;

in the event that the object is not the first object that is assigned the new tag, not designating the object as the default tag icon for the new tag; and

displaying the tag icon adjacent to the tag in a plurality of interfaces that are used to display the tag.

15. A computer program product as recited in claim 14 , wherein the tag icon is displayed with tag data.

16. A computer program product as recited in claim 14 , wherein the object is designated in response to receiving the tag.

17. A computer program product as recited in claim 14 , wherein the object includes a face.

18. A system for displaying a tag icon, including:

a processor; and

a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed cause the processor to:

receive at a processor an indication that a user has created a new tag;

receive an indication that the user has assigned the new tag to an object that has been detected from an image, the object being a subimage comprising a portion of the image;

determine whether the object is the first object that is assigned the new tag;

in the event that the object is the first object that is assigned the new tag, automatically designate the object as a default tag icon for the new tag, the default tag icon being a graphical representation of the new tag, wherein the new tag previously had no tag icon and a given tag has at most one tag icon;

in the event that the object is not the first object that is assigned the new tag, not designate the object as the default tag icon for the new tag; and

display the tag icon adjacent to the tag in a plurality of interfaces that are used to display the tag.

19. A system as recited in claim 18 , wherein the tag icon is displayed with tag data.

20. A system as recited in claim 18 , wherein the object is designated in response to receiving the tag.

21. A system as recited in claim 18 , wherein the object includes a face.

22. A method as recited in claim 1 further comprising:

displaying a plurality of objects associated with the tag;

receiving a selection of one of the objects from the displayed plurality; and

in response to receiving the selection, un-designating the automatically designated object as the tag icon and designating the selected object as the tag icon.

23. A computer program product as recited in claim 14 further comprising computer instructions for:

displaying a plurality of objects associated with the tag;

receiving a selection of one of the objects from the displayed plurality; and

in response to receiving the selection, un-designating the automatically designated object as the tag icon and designating the selected object as the tag icon.

24. A system as recited in claim 18 , wherein the memory is further configured to provide the processor with instructions to:

display a plurality of objects associated with the tag;

receive a selection of one of the objects from the displayed plurality; and

in response to receiving the selection, un-designate the automatically designated object as the tag icon and designate the selected object as the tag icon.

25. A method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising receiving an indication that the user has overridden the default tag icon with a user selected subimage.

26. A computer program product as recited in claim 14 , further comprising receiving an indication that the user has overridden the default tag icon with a user selected subimage.

27. A system as recited in claim 18 , further comprising receiving an indication that the user has overridden the default tag icon with a user selected subimage.
