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's all in Immich and the map is amazing. I'm t

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 by alphabetical order.

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 phones.

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 help scan fronts with backs, lol. https://timelines

Lol. No, it scans against known photos with issues. Those types of photos AI won't process though, so we have to estimate them by just using neighboring photos.

Give a try and then tell me what I need to improve on. It solved the issue for my 8,000 family photo scans and I built the tool to help others! Just sign up for an account and you can date 50 photos for free.

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. But yeah, old photos with EXIF is more to be used by

It does well with visual queues in the photo if there is no handwriting for dates or timestamps. It's definitely not perfect but it will get it so your photos feel chronological in the sense of "photo A is older than photo B"

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 to do the upload-download-reupload dance.

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 add a birthdate; so sort of. Like it'll recognize a birth

Scanned photos all show up on the day you scan them. Timeline Scan estimates when each photo was actually taken and writes it into the file’s EXIF, so your archive sorts chronologically in Immich, Google Photos, or Apple Photos (or by folde
