Pros and Cons of AI photo organisation

What are your thoughts on AI and your photos? Will you be using AI to sort your photos? 🧐

Dear Miss Littlecott. There is so much valuable advice available on how to manually sort photos into a prospectively set up folder structure on your hard disk - which makes a lot of sense. However, I am still struggling to find a (freeware) tool or service that can automatically move my existing photos from various sources (including backups and duplicate media) into such a folder structure by the means of rules in a hierarchical order (such as meta data or original folder name). Simultaneously it should eliminate duplicates and keep the original respectively the oldest copy with the best resolution/image, quality, e. g. RAW, TIFF and BMP over JPEG. Does a reliable tool exist that does the job??

Ooo that is quite a list of things you want it do to, I wouldn't say there is a perfect option that will do everything, but a more manual option is Adobe Bridge or another option worth checking out is Mylio, the free version has some location / access limitations, but worth checking out. Unfortunately, all the big players have worked out that we love taking photos so they can get money out of us! 😁

@@amandalittlecott I'd be happy to pay for it, if I got rid of the hassle!

I would still check out Mylio... there is a learning curve and it is on my list to create videos about but want to make sure I have my own workflow sorted first!😊
