Asking for someone who has 1,000s of photographs taken for a multi-year project and needs to catalogue the work.
I’ve had a good hunt with Dr Google and there doesn’t seem to be any easy to use tools that can export metadata from Photos to Excel.
https://photostakeout.com/ seems to be able to export photos with metadata and preserve album (folder) structure.
I have found that exported photos have all the EXIF and other metadata (including keyword) embedded, so maybe one answer is to export everything from Photos and then import to Lightroom? And then use a Light plugin to export metadata to Excel?
Fireebok can export metadata to a .plist file … but what use is that because there seem to be no tools that can import Apple’s non-standard XML format into Excel (plus the trial version does not extract key words and the EXIF export does not work (seems to be disabled in Trial although according to their info it shouldn’t be))

Any tips, suggestion, report on experience appreciated!
