@kde@floss.social @digikam @kde@lemmy.kde.social - congratulations!
What is the status on migrating a huge Apple Photos.app library including album structure and - critically - the faces/names? I would like to keep face/name metadata something that needs to be manually confirmed.
Apple mangled too much correct data and inserted lots of false namings - need to get away from that!

Thiw new colored bar tag looks pretty good.

I only semi-recently got to properly face tag my photos, was working pretty decently so far. I'll check out the new improvements.

I used DigiKam to face tag all my photos as I wanted a solution that wasn’t reliant on Google/Apple and kept the face data in the photo’s file. I thought it worked very well. I do wonder about whether I should just give up though and use a service.
