<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi, I cannot really comment on face detection - I'd say you'll just have to try that - maybe on a smaller sample and see how the recognition works (performance, accuracy). digiKam also reads the existing face tags if Picasa stored them into files. A few things that I did notice when switching my parents from Picasa (Linux) to digiKam (Linux) are:</div><div> - there is no way how to make albums appear as a flat list (in Picasa if you have a/b, a/b/c, a/b/c/d you'll get albums b c d, digiKam does not support this). You may or may see this as an issue (a matter of preference).</div><div> - I kinda miss the Picasa's search bar in the upper right corner - very easy to filter the album(s) I want to see, digiKam's search is very versatile but IMHO not that efficient<br></div><div> - editing options of digiKam are far superior, extra tools are nice</div><div> - for me the cloud features of Picasa stopped working years back but that could be because I was using it on Linux (haven't checked in depth)</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers, jose<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, May 4, 2021 at 12:26 AM Alan Jones <<a href="mailto:asjones987@gmail.com">asjones987@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>I have been following Digikam for a while now, but have not made the "jump".
