Facial Recognition / Additional Photos / Google Takeout

Support
2

I don’t know if you’ve thought about this, but there are other workflows (that don’t involve Google Photos) that work.

My process is this:

  1. Move photos from Phone to home network using Nextcloud (there are lots of other ways to do this as well)
  2. Once the photos are in the proper folder on my home network, they are picked up by Photostructure
  3. Simultaneously, TagThatPhoto scans that folder and finds faces. The TagThatPhoto UI suggests people to faces, which I confirm. Once that’s done, the tag is written to the photo file, and Photostructure picks up that tag on the next sync.

It will be nice when Photostructure does facial recognition so I can get rid of TagThatPhoto, but in the meantime the process is really pretty simple. And best of all, I don’t have to deal with Google Photos at all!
