First, thank you to those (and I don't even remember the posts let alone the redditors now) who recommended and posted about Immich and Paperless-ngx. I've been quite pleased with the transformation of my ability to manage these data since implementing these tools!

My wife and I recently happened upon a box of pictures... and I mean a LOT of pictures. I'd like to scan them in either from the 5x7 prints or the negatives and store them digitally. I picture this needing:

• Initial scan
• Cropping and/or splitting (if more than one picture was scanned at once)
• Skew adjustment?
• Add EXIF data
  • assign a date
  • add GPS info, if known
• File the original picture in a "scanned" album
• Upload to Immich for long term storage

I could see some of the above steps as a monumental task and time consumer. Has anyone else tackled this type of project before? What did you use on how did it go?

I'd rather not outsource this work and pay through the nose for it, I welcome any discussion around it.
