It would be awesome if you posted them using a gallery server software like Piwigo. It allows annotations.
You should scan them with a flatbed scanner. That way even if the originals are ever lost, there’s a nice digital copy. VueScan is great software to use with almost any scanner.
Hamrick.com? At first I thought it was a driver website. Scroll down to see features. MacOS also. Looks good for scanning. I’ve been using paperlesss-ngx in a docker. Never used before so I learned it just for this tool. It’s not as flashy and maybe isn’t aimed at photos, but documents instead. For photo stuff I’m using Lightroom classic. It’s also kinda new to me. But I’m learning. I’m hesitant to put my photos online and I’m not eager to run and maintain a photo gallery. I only peruse my photos time to time and then it’s nice having the meta tags and such to find things.
What other tools/apps do people use? I’m lowkey avoiding anything with subscription pricing, especially with photos and online hosting.
~~It’s a one-time payment for~~ VueScan (https://www.hamrick.com/). It’s been around a long time but still actively developed. It’s Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
Aw, man, I see now it’s no longer a lifetime-payment option. I have a license from ages ago, so I guess I was grandfathered in.
It does say you don’t need a subscription. Your one-time payment covers one year of updates. So I guess if you’re happy with the features at the end of the year, you can just stick with that. Maybe do another year if some killer feature is added.
