Have I uploaded that picture yet?
Can I filter the photos with the terms macro and mastodon?
Using keywords to organize and search for photos and trying to edit them in both macOS and iOS has been a nightmare. I was trying to have a system that I could use on both operating systems.
I finally decided to use only titles and captions (descriptions) as metadata.
Captions can be words like: macro, lens, insect, bee, park, Spain, mastodon, uploaded, etc…
The iOS Photos app allows you to add captions to individual photos but MetaGear is the app I've tried that most easily does this in batches.
On the other hand, HashPhotos allows you to add titles to batches of photos and works with the same photo gallery that iOS uses.
Titles and captions can be edited and searched both on iPhone and iPad as well as by the Photos app or the Mac's Finder / Spotlight
In this way I can search for pictures by descriptive words, create albums, folders and organize photos.
