Digikam is an excellent software the best for managing photos that I have tried so far. I am happy to see an active development of this software with new features.

It's neat to be able to take advantage of this sort of deep learning technology in open source software, instead of having to upload your photos to your choice of our cloud overlords. (Though I suppose the likes of Amazon and Google probably have a somewhat more sophisticated approach with much more data.)

Just trying it out. Didn't immediately see any difference in faces detection from Digikam 6. I'm clearing and re-scanning now to see if there is a change.

There is lots to like in there. Great to see support for "PhaseOne IQ4 150MP" now if only any one could afford one. When it hits the repos I will have to give it a look again.

You don't need to afford one, I know for sure even some pros are only renting those on a per job basis
