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.

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.
