I want to move away from Nextcloud and need something for my family to upload their photos to. Any suggestions?
Immich is not an option because of FUTO and their politics.

Search can find items such as screenshots or QR codes, while “Most recent” supports bulk selection.
Free-form results may appear as cards without select-all.
Note that “Free…

Shared entries appear in both users’ lists across the web and mobile apps, and either user can edit a person’s name and date of birth.
Sharing works in one direction at a time: for two-way syncing, each user must share their own entries with the other.
Users can also choose whether changes apply to everyone sharing an entry or only to t…

Lifehacker: 10 Hacks Every Google Photos User Should Know. “Google Photos doesn’t have to be one of those things that you set up and forget.

Down the Road: A new tool for organizing your negatives: Filmaris. “Rémi built Filmaris around a simple observation: scanning every negative on a roll one by one is slow, and if you only end up printing or sharing a handful of shots, most of that scanning time was wasted. So Filmaris flips the usual order. You scan or photograph your contact sheets first — a flatbed scanner, a light table, […]

Down the Road: A new tool for keeping track of your film shots: Frames. “I’m trying something new. Every so often a software developer reaches out to tell me about a new app they’ve built for film photographers. They’re invariably a film photographer themselves, and they built an app they wanted for themselves. So far none of these apps have entered my workflows — they’ve been fine […]

PetaPixel: A Videographer Built a Free App That Tells You When a Memory Card Is Safe to Wipe. “The software is simple to use. Once the card is inserted into the card reader or camera connected to the computer, users select two drives (typically a working drive and a backup) and then the card is dumped to both sources at once. Stow then checks both copies of every file to ensure they are […]

Film Reasons: Scanning Film Negatives for a Searchable Digital Archive. “For many of us, the negative remains the true original.

FStoppers: How to Organize 10,000 Photos Without Losing Your Mind. “Most photographers never set up an organizational structure because nobody told them to, and by the time the mess becomes unmanageable, the prospect of fixing it feels worse than living with it.

FStoppers: What Happens to Your Photos When You Die and What to Do About It Now. “Most photographers spend years building an archive worth protecting, but very few have a plan for what happens to it after they die. Copyright, physical media, cloud accounts, and stock licensing don’t sort themselves out automatically, and without a plan, decades of work can vanish or get tied up in legal chaos. […]

Ars Technica: After complaints, Google will make it easier to disable gen AI search in Photos. “The rollout of the Gemini-powered Ask Photos search experience has not been smooth. According to Google Photos head Shimrit Ben-Yair, the company has heard the complaints. As a result, Google Photos will soon make it easy to go back to the traditional, non-Gemini search system.”

We treat storage as essentially free, which it is in dollar terms. But the true cost of […]

The technical and design challenges of building the image editor of Immich, the popular open source alternative to Google Photos.
It's obviously a highly requested feature, especially for rotation, so what makes it so difficult? Well, it turns out that there are actually a lot of considerations that make it quite complicated.
