[Mishmash] GeoTagging

[David Brown]

HI Fred

 

Metadata is simply overview data about the photograph.  It will include the
camera make, model, serial number, similar stuff about the lens, the shot
settings and other optional stuff such as your copyright info, photo title,
location, key words and so on.  Pretty much anything you want.

 

If you take digital photos the very best software I can recommend is Adobe
Photoshop Lightroom 3.  It is commonly called Lightroom 3.  You can download
a trial from adobe.com  It serves two roles.  In the first instance it is a
database of your photographs so you can actually find them.  Its other role
is as a non-destructive editor.  You can do the most amazing things with
digital photos and with relative ease turn an ordinary shot into a good one;
remove a tree that comes out someone's head, fix a shot where the sun is
behind the subject and you cant see her face, fix the colour cast of a shot
taken under tungsten light, remove some wrinkles from your favourite
squeeze's face.  Pretty much any fault can be fixed easily.  It stores the
changes as metadata which it applies when you look at the photo on screen or
print it or save it in another format.  The real strength is that unlike
Photoshop it does not change the pixels so you can go backwards without any
loss of information.

 

On the GEOtagging, your camera needs a GPS.  This would be mentioned in the
user guide I am sure.  If you want to add geotags later, you can locate the
spot in google maps and copy the gps coordinates into LR.  I do this for
some of my travel shots.

 

Cheers

 

David

David, 

        Metadata editor?  

        That's something I haven't heard about.  

        Can you suggest such a software package (I'm assuming it is
software)?  

        Regards, 




                                                     Fred

It is stored in the exif location metadata.  You can use any metadata editor
to change it.

Folks,

        This is a bit scary: http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/video?id=7621105

        I don't think my current digital camera has a GPS in it.  But I
would like to find out how to check a picture or video to see if it
is GeoTagged.

        I would also like to know how to remove the GeoTag from the picture
without changing the actual image itself.

        Regards,




                                                                        Fred
