The feature

It would be extremely useful to have a way to exclude specific media from the main Photos view without using the Archive feature. For example: hiding photos of a specific person (face recognition), or photos tagged with "work", or all images from a certain location or album — without having to remove them from their current structure or throw them all into a single “Archive” bucket.

The Archive feature is useful, but it's a blunt instrument — everything archived goes into one place. What’s missing is a more granular, intelligent filtering layer that lets users preserve the current organizational structure (albums, tags, people, locations), while simply excluding selected groups from the general photo feed.

Basically, allowing:

• Hiding photos of specific people from the main timeline.
• Hiding photos from albums or tags from the main timeline.
• Hiding photos taken in specific locations the main timeline.

All without altering how those images are accessed via albums, people, tags, or search — just keeping them out of the all-photos timeline.

Immich’s existing architecture (tags, face recognition, location metadata) makes it ideal for implementing this kind of powerful and user-focused visibility control.
