On a side note, what is your take on AVIF vs WebP? I recently moved my site to 11ty and looking to re-encode several hundreds of images. I do want to keep the quality of the photos as much as I can, while reducing the network load.

I also wrote some houseplant programming for my photo flow, which incidentally also includes Darktable [0].As part of this, I vibe coded a script using AI to suggest captions and categories for photo uploads to Wikimedia Commons [1].I also have my own image viewer [2].[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dllu&#x2F;pupphoto" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dllu&#x2F;pupphoto</a>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;daniel.lawrence.lu&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2026-03-25-uploading-to-wikimedia-commons-with-ai&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;daniel.lawrence.lu&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2026-03-25-uploading-to-wiki...</a>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;daniel.lawrence.lu&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2025-10-22-sriv-simple-rust-image-viewer&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;daniel.lawrence.lu&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2025-10-22-sriv-simple-rust-...</a>

Photo Mechanic is often what photographers graduate to in terms of ingestion and culling speed.Fast ingest. Fast selection.Edit metadata as needed in bulk. The. You import for editing in Lightroom or editor of your choice.It’s a lot less horsepower to bring in your 7 selected photographs in for editing than an entire take.

This really reminds me of Damselfly: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Webreaper&#x2F;Damselfly" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Webreaper&#x2F;Damselfly</a>
