If a person album cover is still showing the generic default avatar, or if you want to use a specific photo as the person thumbnail, you can manually set the cover in QuMagie.

Prerequisites

Face recognition has already been completed in QuMagie, and the target person album contains at least one usable face photo.
The account you are using has permission to manage that album.

Steps to Set a Person Album Cover

Open QuMagie.
Go to the Album page and select the person album you want to configure.
Enter the person album and choose a clear, front-facing photo with good recognition quality.
Right-click on the photo and select Set as cover in the action menu.
Return to the person list or refresh the page to confirm that the thumbnail has been updated.

Validation

Check the person list to confirm that the thumbnail has changed to the selected photo.
Log out of QuMagie and sign in again if needed, to rule out browser cache delay.

Note

The cover update may not appear immediately, especially when the media library is large.

After merging person albums, QuMagie does not always automatically choose the best photo as the cover, so manual selection is recommended.
