f you take a lot of photos of different people – for example, on holidays or at family events – it can take hours to get them all organised. But it doesn’t need to. The new version of photo-library software digiKam (8.6.0) has a handy new feature that can automatically recognise faces in your photos, match them to other faces in your library and – in doing so – create a series of albums that automatically groups your pictures by person. We’ve found it incredibly accurate, even with pictures that were taken several years apart and where subjects are wearing hats. Here, we explain how to use it.
