I've been using different software during the years to keep track of my pictures. None of them - other than Facebook - allowed to tag faces in pictures manually when the AI failed to do so. That was always very frustrating because some of the most important pictures I wanted to have there were not tagged and there was no way of manually doing it.

This is until today where this feature finally landed, I'm so excited, this will make the app much more useful. Now we could even pretend our cat Leo is a person and just tag his face manually ;)

Haven't heard about this project before. I was using a self hosted Nextcloud instance so far. What would be the benefit of switching to immich? I guess immich does have some advances features, like the tagging was mentioned, specifically for picture management.

As someone who used both, the biggest difference is a nicer and much faster UI for photos, oh, and you can search images for contents

I love Immich, i think it's a great replacement for Google photos.

If you already use Nextcloud, try the Memorie-Extension. It has all the features of Immich. The tagging-feature for faces has been there for at least the year I am using it now.

But immich does so much more than faces. I searched for "tent on the beach" the other day, worked like a charm.

[–] Aufgehtsabgehts@feddit.org 1 points 5 months ago

Memories also uses automatic tagging, so searching for tent and beach would probably get you the same result. But I guess they are not using the best recognition software, I get a few missinterpretations here and there. (My marzipan potatoe with googly eyes is not an 'Instrument'. But I guess it's a challange for any software)

So. Much. Better. I love Nextcloud but Immich uploads just work, private AI tagging, better UX, maps, it's just better.

[–] Aufgehtsabgehts@feddit.org 1 points 5 months ago

I guess you only use the standard Nextcloud photo app, not Memories. It is very comparable to the features you describe + if you have already set up your Nextcloud, there is no need to work with yet another software on your server.

I think it's much easier to use across devices, no lag, quick processing times, and a really transparent and active developer
