Each time I pull photos from my phone (or camera memory card), I go through a process to pull, transform and store photos, followed by sorting, deleting and importing photos into old Google Picasa 3.9. The last version was released in Oct 2015. With 81,000 photos in Picasa, I fear the day I can no longer find a machine that I can run Picasa on.
Slowly I have been thinking about how I will sort my pictures and store them online. I don't really desire to store all in Google Photos, but it maybe the best free option. Right now, Google Photos doesn't have the options built out that Picasa does.
For example:
- Selecting an area and tagging a face manually is possible in Picasa, not in photos.
- Editing a location on a map is only possible in Picasa. You can use exiftool, to manually add GPS coords.
