<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="rynqvb"><span lang="EN">I saw on the internet that Digikam is a powerful tool that can replace it .<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="rynqvb"><span lang="EN">So I installed Digikam version 8.3.0 I recovered 40,000 family photos from Picasa where I had done face recognition which I had written in the files and which I put in Digikam

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="rynqvb"><span lang="EN">On the other hand, face detection is not effective:
<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="rynqvb"><span lang="EN"> - On 7 photos with 10 very identifiable faces it does not detect any faces and of course does not recognize any using the Elements/search for faces function
<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="rynqvb"><span lang="EN"> - If I use the Tools/Maintenance function and only check “Detect and recognize faces” no face is detected or recognized

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="rynqvb"><span lang="EN">If I add a face label to the photo, it takes me 15 to 20 seconds to put the name, which is far too long to be operational.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="rynqvb"><span lang="EN">I am very happy with the use of Digikam, slow on certain functions but if the detection and recognition of faces does not work. I will have to find another solution.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
