Digikam face recognition full#

When viewing the full photo, the minus-button on the face regions in that photo is used to delete the face region completely.

Digikam face recognition software#

it tells the software that this is not the person it thought it is. I cannot double-check this right now but I think in the Unconfirmed section the minus-button does not ignore the face but just puts it back in the Unknown pool. So clicking this button acknowledges that the area indeed shows a face, just one you don't care about. When clicking it, the face disappears from the Unknown section and instead appears in the Ignored section (so you can go there and revert your decision later). The tooltip says 'Mark this face as ignored'. Note, however, that the minus-button behaves differently depending on which view you are in: It seems Lightroom (also Classic) is now only available as part of the subscription from Adobe, so I don't think I'd use that for my home photos.This answer refers to digiKam 7.3.0 (the behaviour may have been different in the past).Īll the buttons have tooltips which give some insight on what they are doing. When I download portrait positioned face tagged photo from the NAS (PhotoStation) and open them in DigiKam, then the face rectangles are not on the correct places (I'm not sure which program to blame). And there seems to be some kind of incompatibility between them, when it comes to automatically rotated photos ('portrait' with highest sides on the Y axes), taken with camera.

Digikam face recognition install#

I've tried the two programs above but neither of them is as simple as MS Photo Gallery (that is no longer supported, and a bit hard to install even if it's possible). I've still not decided what to use for myself, so that's the reason for me being here. I've not tried any automatic recognition in the above that may be possible, perhaps not in both of them. I'm primarily concerned about the possibility to add people tags manually, and stored in the same way as Windows Photo Gallery. (Check this checkbox to let digiKam write the face data into the files.)Īlso, if you've got a Synology NAS, there is Photo Station 6, with face tagging, storing as XMP. You just need to configure digiKam so that the XMP data is stored inside the files:Ĭonfigure / Metadata / Behaviour / Face Tags (including face areas) People tagging is present, stored as XMP regions. Here are two more programs that may fit into your nice overview table above.ĭigiKAM (OpenSource, free). So other software can at least find what it likes to find, in one of them.

Digikam face recognition archive#

I want software that helps me write the above metadata for my archive to XMP, IIM, and EXIF's related locations. just naming people in Picture as tags.)įace Tags (XMP's standard face tags. Tags or Keywords ( a fail-safe alternative to true face tag info. Description (a short description of the story of the image if available).same as above it seems to be stored in EXIF and I need to be able to manually add it to some images) Location (The Location the image was taken.so I need to manually enter this info for them.) some of my pictures are scanned old photos.

What I ultimately want is to have this metadata in my pictures: EXIF, IPTC's IIM and Metadata Working Group's XMP.Īs you see, each photo editing/organizing software is literally choosing what it likes to read.Īnd about face tags, the only way to store them correctly is in XMP. We seem to have three standards regarding embedding metadata into image files themselves. Since I read this great blog post from Carl Seibert I found out that embedded Picture Metadata world is a Hell. These past three days were a nightmare to me as I was trying to find THE way to store picture metadata for my 5000 photo archive the correct way.
