[digiKam-users] ghost faces markings

[Maik Qualmann]

This problem arises when face markings are already present in the image 
metadata, but digiKam is configured in such a way that no face metadata is 
written into the images. Then the face regions are doubled in the wrong 
position. You have to read in the image metadata again with the temporary 
activation of the database cleanup.
