Hey guys,

I would like to know how immich behaves when I edit the images on the hard disk.

Example:
The photos are imported and stored on the Nas.

Now I load this file into Photoshop and edit it. Will the changes be adopted by immich or will there be complications?

If you have them in an external library changes will be recognized once you scan the library again

I Just Upload the Images about Webinterface and Android App.

Now i installed SMB and bind this Network path into my Windows Explorer and can Access this path. Would be awesome If i could edit my uploaded Images with e.g. Photoshop, Lightroom, Gimp.. whatever and this Change will be displayed

No, that doesn't work I'm afraid

Okay, that means I would have to set up an external library up to the current status and then edit the photos there and then import them again. This is feasible, but unfortunately I need a lot more storage space.

It would be nice if there was a way to use this in the future. However, I was afraid that this would be too specialized for me. I have no idea how many users would like it. I certainly do 🤣.

@prime flare maybe you can Push that topic of internal Meetings?

I'm just a voluntary helping hand, I don't actually work on immich

Okay, I've done it this way now:
I have loaded a path via compose file which I have included as an external library. I would now like to display this library automatically in an “ext_lib” album. Is there a routine for this?

I have mounted the folder on the host via SMB in Windows and can now edit my files there.

Last question: Can I effectively “convert” the uploads I have made so far into an external library ?
