Overview: Photo organization
Photo organization uses album relationships, capture times and location information to make a collection navigable.
The time a file was copied is not necessarily the time its photograph was taken. Capture metadata and geolocation describe another context, while albums express an organizational choice. These distinctions help group and sort personal pictures without reducing their history to the current file path.
Photo albums
A photo album groups picture resources by an intended selection or arrangement while physical folders, image identity and derived copies remain separate.Photo capture dates
A photo capture date describes when an image was made, with clock, offset, precision and provenance needed to distinguish it from digitisation, editing or file-copy times.Photo geolocation
Photo geolocation describes a coordinate and its context, including reference directions and uncertainty, separately from the place depicted or the location of a stored file.
