Thiw new colored bar tag looks pretty good.
I only semi-recently got to properly face tag my photos, was working pretty decently so far. I’ll check out the new improvements.
I used DigiKam to face tag all my photos as I wanted a solution that wasn’t reliant on Google/Apple and kept the face data in the photo’s file. I thought it worked very well. I do wonder about whether I should just give up though and use a service.
