Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction?
-
Just an idea: Maybe a simple photo editor would fit in nicely? Crop, rotate and adjust the colors/brightness/contrast.
And ... please let me rotate videos that are accidentally 90 degrees off.

Basic photo editing capabilities are planned after stable release, this year

Copying this from Reddit (I still get the daily emails). Since I no longer post there, I figured I would ask here, and include my prediction:
Will be more popular, possibly in stable release. Still won't be able to rotate photos natively.I have a feeling it'll simply grow more in popularity, since stable release will probably make a lot more people feel more comfortable recommending it to people, myself included.
Right now, I don't treat it as if it's a backup in any way due to its beta nature, and I hope that can change.

I tried it briefly, but when I realized I could not easily sync a bunch of my pictures from server to new phone, I lost interest and went back to syncthing
Just out of curiosity, what's the use case for having all your photos actually on the phone as opposed to remote access from your phone?

If the internet disappears or you lose access to it for some reason, you can still see your photos.

FWIW Ente just added photo editing

In my mobile app, I can select a photo > edit > crop, and get rotate options there. Does that do what you're looking for? I can't confirm right now since I'm not home and haven't exposed it beyond my home network yet, and haven't tried it from the web interface. I agree though, as I continue to use it, rotating will be a common use case and I'd hope it handles it gracefully.
Can't rotate or do basic edits in web app, dead to me.
Also can't really sync and share with rest of household. Auto sync to phones is also a must.
I was seriously unimpressed with its features, and I'm not bothering with it again anytime soon.

You know you can just delete the email address from your reddit account, right? I don't know why you'd want to willingly tie reddit to your email in the first place.

Ente is a great project but with immich as a competitor it has a hard time

Syncing to all of my household's phones was one of my main requirements. So far its working, maybe its been recently updated.

Unless you're a professional photographer who likes self hosting..

You can still use Syncthing to pull photos back to the phone, Immich just stores them in organized directories as normal files.

From my testing today, you can only rotate a photo using the mobile app, and even then you have to save it locally and re-upload the rotated photo. Thus creating a separate, mostly duplicate photo! This is essentially a metadata orientation update, or it could be more. Immich seems to incorrectly orient a lot of photos that other applications have no problem with. The devs are aware of it and have been discussing this since at least 2022, possibly longer. There are also a number of feature/pull requests on the github page covering rotation, photo editing, cropping, etc. Personally, I don't care about editing/cropping. I consider those edits which should result in a separate asset, possibly linked back to the original.
For me, this is probably the biggest missing feature for Immich. They've done some really amazing things in the past couple years, but this seemingly basic feature remains missing.
I've never used it, but one should also ask a
what kind of 90 degree rotation does it do. Good image editors can do lossless 90 degree JPEG rotation, meaning they don't compound the JPEG lossiness and potential artifacts every time. -

A professional photographer doesn't use cloud storage to store the GBs of RAW files from their shoots

Backup, redundancy, easy access..
If my server goes down I don't have the time to fix it at the moment.Also the photos app on my phone is quite good, so I find it very easy to find old pictures quickly.
I also prefer offline-capable solutions

Maybe I misunderstand, but can't you do this already? I do this all the time when adding to albums at least.
