I disagree.
Yes, there is some editing capability in the app, but it doesn't edit the image, it stores a new file in your local (non-immich) gallery. As I don't sync this particular folder on my phone, I had to reupload it - and now have this image twice in immich, and one version with the wrong timestamp (now).
That's barely any more helpful than downloading the image and editing it with another app.
I think this highlights the difficulty with “basic” image editing. For example, with G Photos or Mac Photos, or others, you can edit, and the edited version is what you’ll see by default going forward, but the original is still there. This is why I highlighted rotation. That’s strictly a metadata change, AFAIK. Last thing I read on their site was they were hung up getting it to work properly with HEIF.
