I have a large number of photos edited and ready to go and want to then them into an album. Does anyone have any recommendations for any FOSS software that I can use to arrange the images to pages, and add text?

I intend to send the data to a professional printer for printing and binding.

My first thought was Libre Office’s Draw, but maybe this community has something more appropriate.

    I’ve heard of publishing software to design photo albums/scrapbooks/cards etc. Is there a photo collection manager for archiving, sorting and filtering?

    Given access to a large set of personal photos, say tens of thousands, it should be able to group, categorize, tag, and sort along a myriad of dimensions.

    Example dimensions would be time, people and places. It would need some facial recognition/image classifier/similarity scoring capability.

    There definitely are some cloud offerings today that do similar things, but I’d want it to work locally for privacy and practical reasons.

      DigiKam and it’s associated plugins are what I use to sort, manage and store photos. It does have facial recognition option too, but I have not used it until now.
