    I created a simple app of known family geo spots, and manually geo tagged all my family's photos (8000). Did the exact same thing and gave it to my parents as a Christmas gift. It'…

    Scan photos as you have them, trying to keep similar events in time together. Then send them to Timeline Scan to date them so they're in chronological order. Not sure what you mean…

    For the "older" people I've helped AI-date their photos, they think, "Why wouldn't my photos be in chronological order?", lol. I think they've grown accustom to how photos work on …

    Epson FastFoto 680W is what most people use for scanning their collections which scans the fronts and backs at the same time. (For flatbed scanning, I actually made a Mac app to he…

    You supply the ages with the software and AI uses that just like you would. If it doesn't know the month, it puts it in June. If it doesn't know the day, it puts it on the 15th. Bu…

    I do integrate with Immich. It will find photos with missing EXIF data automatically for you. It will also only write back metadata to update the photos in place, so you don't have…

    It does both. Each image and then neighbors. Usually you scan photos that are printed in related-date order. So it does look at neighboring photos to date. You can tag faces and ad…
