I’ve seen a lot of recommends for Immich on here, so I have an idea what the answer here is going to be, but I’m looking for some comparisons between it and Photoprism I’m currently using Synology Photos, and I think my biggest issue is it’s lack of metadata management. I’ve gotten around that with MetaImage and NeoFinder. I’m considering moving to something not tied to the Synology environment.

I think I have a very comparable workflow to yours, I have a master repository of RAW+JPEG on a NAS which I index and curate from Digikam, and I export smaller/de-exified photos into topical folders for sharing with members (generally over nextcloud).

    May I ask why you export and de exify photos? Synology Photos does this work for you.

    Because depending on what I'm sharing and with whom, I may not always want to send 30+ MPix images if I know it's going to be viewed on a phone/tablet or downloaded from a data network (typically, family reunion stuff that nobody wants a 15MB ultra sharp file of). If the photos might end up on the open internet, I don't necessarily want my camera's serial number and other "global IDs" present in the EXIF to be kept, but I might want to share "straight out of the camera" JPEGs with full metadata with my photography enthusiasts friends. That's one area of the workflow I feel I want to be in control, because it is very contextual.
