[digiKam-users] --> Migrating from Photos to digiKam

In theory, you don't have to do anything special.

I have never worked with Photos before, but if all the metadata is already
written in the pictures or in sidecar files, you just install digikam, tell
him in which folder you store your pictures, and wait until it scans your
library. All the information (Tags, People, etc.) will be populated
automatically.

If Photos didn't save that information to the picture (or xmp sidecar files)
then you would need to export it somehow. 

But in any case, just try to import your picture library into digikam, and
if you see some information missing, then try to figure out how to export
that info from your previous picture management software.
