Add gps information to photo using Photos

With the latest Photos App, I didn't find a way to manually add GPS information to a Photo. I am talking about Photos APP on OS X Yosemite. Not iPhoto.

Sorry, but the Photos.app does not (yet) support this feature.
Use iPhoto, or any other app that you have. I make sure, that all photos have GPS tags before I import them to Photos.
Send feedback to Apple with a feature request. Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
For the time being, use iPhoto for the geotagging and import the tagged photos to Photos.
If you are comfortable with the Terminal use the free exiftool:

Other convenient apps are Jetphoto Studio, Geotagalog, there are many more ..

Add gps information

I know the all new Photos is not a Pro app like Aperture. But in Aperture it was possible to add gps information to photos quite easily. I was able to track my GPS with an App on the iPhone, export the data to an gpsx file, import that to Aperture and then drag the first photo to the route and all other photos where placed accordingly to the time they where made on the route.
Is there anything similar possible with the new photos? Do I need to use another app for this in the future?

No.
Yes.

How can I add gps information into my pictures?
I understand Photos doens't have this feature.
Só how could I do it with an external application. Is it possible? Can I even use iPhoto with the same library (since they share stuff) to do it?

Photos does not support to add location information yet.
Add the GPS before you import the photos to Photos. I hope this will change with the next release.
You could ,for example, first import to iPhoto, add the locations, batch change the titles and captions, do all the things that are not yet supported in the new Photos, then export the photos from iPhoto and import them to Photos.
Or use the free exiftool, if you like the Terminal.

Wrong GPS information on Photos app

Hi, i just update and import 600 new pics from my iPhone to the new Photos library in my Mac. After all the new photos where imported i noticed the GPS info is wrong.
It says the pictures where taken on Shymkent City - Kazajistan, Jorasen - Iran or even Jorasen - Afganistan. Those are places i never went (all the photos where taken on Argentina, where im from).
I check my Photos library on my iPhone just to see if the GPS information was wrong there too but no, all the photos have the correct info in the iPhone library.
Any chance or idea how to fix this ? is pretty annoying.
Im using iOS 7.1.2 in my iPhone 4s and 10.10.3 in my mid 2010 White Unibody Macbook.

Okay turned off GPS, but my phone is the version 4.2.2 and I cant find geotagging or GPS tag, alI I see is location tag. This is whats confusing me and I am pretty much computer / electronic literate. This will probably annoy me until I figure it out I am hoping Location Tag is the GPS tag or as you say Geotagging. If you have anymore advice please reply.
Thanks BTW

Add or edit geotag (GPS) data with Photos App

Geotag is an EXIF metadata associated with a single photo that give the geographical location of where the photo has been taken. At this time, the geotag EXIF is fully supported by Photos (we see the location on a map) and we have the option to strip the information when we share the photo. To work with Photos, the EXIF geotagging info must be embedded with the photo when it is transferred from the camera to the Photos App.
However, many cameras don't have a GPS that sets the photo location. The geotag must be added later manually. Some photo editing software strip EXIF data (or just Geotag data) and sometimes these photo editor apps set geotag of their own (the location where the picture is edited, not the original location where the picture comes from).
It would be nice to add a geotag addition/edition feature to Photos.app.

Now that iCloud drive keeps the photo library synced between all devices it would be nice if there was a way to edit tags, geotags, descriptions, etc. on iCloud.com as well as IOS.
I tested to add GPS using AppleScript, but most of the EXIF field are readonly and we cannot change the GPS tags with Apple Script in iPhoto. It was possible to do that in Aperture, but does not work in Photos.
Right now, it is best to add GPS before importing to Photos.

How can I add location to a photo that does not have a gps location? On iPhoto it was easy.

how can I add location to a photo that does not have a gps location? On iPhoto it was easy.

You can use the Settings in the slideshow to Show Captions, either the Description filed be display, the Title field or both.
If you create the slideshow in iDVD from still photos from iPhoto you can add the Description and/or Title via the settings in iDVD.
Since iDVD adds both automatically the user must go thru the slideshow and remove those items not wanted.

I have used the "description" spot in iPhoto for in-depth additional information for photos of my ancestors. Now I am wanting to know if there is a way to print the photos along with the descriptions; either photo by photo, or maybe more than one per page

Thank you very much.

You can make a Book and have a photo on one side and your text description on the other.

Nokia Photos Upload misses GPS Information in Ovi ...

Hi,
since I upgraded to Nokia Photos version 1.6.434 (from 1.5.x), the GPS location information is no longer uploaded (the location information works properly inside Nokia Photos and I did check the checkbox for uploading of the GPS information).
Any hint for this?
Thanks.

Is there a way to add GPS location after importing to Photos?

I would like to add GPS location data to photos I take with my DLSR. In the past I was able to copy location data from a photo taken on my iPhone I take and copy it to all my DLSR photos.
Can this be done in Photos?

I actually bought Greenfinder and vCaddy (Golf GPS apps both in app store) and did extensive testing yesterday. You can see my full review here.
http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=6056655&postcount=20
Bottom line - Could be a great alternative to a SkyCaddy or similar device

Images missing GPS info in photo library

hey everyone,
I've been using iPhone taking picture and screenshot, import images from other app like GoPro App, wechat, etc,
I'm pretty sure before not only the photo taken by iPhone build-in camera has the GPS info, the rest image also has that GPS information, it was before my recently update.
Now i'm using iPhone 5 with Macbook iPhoto 9.6.1, all the images except those taken by iPhone build-in camera are missing the GPS info!!
Can anyone tell me what just happened? is that update really did something, or there is an setting I can bring them back?
thanks for the answer..

yeah only by two years but as there was over 100 views and no one bothered their backsides to reply with a "constructive comment" i decided to be helpful for the next 100 people that view this page. they will also see this comment and ur last snarky one. so good for u! (i wish there was a ******* emoticon to place here)
i never actual use these forums, only came across this Q while browsing google for some developer info on ios gps dictionary keys and why ios when taking pics wont use the gps acquired date/time for the kCGImagePropertyGPSDateStamp//kCGImagePropertyGPSTimeStamp in photo meta tag fields even tho it has the gps co-ords stored. i'll stick stackoverflow so
no point asking wjosyen thats for sure even with his level 9(?) because god knows what useless comment he will reply with (so in these discussions boards can u win points in give-aways or in follow the dots drawing competitions?)
joking aside, be serious now, u got them points somehow, u must be in some way clued in so why bother commenting here like that if u cant be helpful wjosten? in future just provide a more helpful answer if u can, if not dont bother, really!!

How to assign GPS / Places to photos without GPS?

I have a lot of pictures from my recent holiday in aperture and there are some iPhone 3GS Pics with GPS data amongst them.
Now I somehow dont manage to use the GPS Data from the iPhone Photos to assign those places to the Photos without GPS.
Do I have to give the Place a name or what firs? It didnt work for me to give other names to the places which have iPhone Location GPS than the names given.
In short: i dont know how to do it and i didnt find ressources anyway, can somebody help?
thanks, alexander

Have you tried reading the Aperture manual?
You can assign a Place to all the photos in one project by entering the GPS information for the project once:
*Assigning Location Information to Projects*
If all the images in a project were shot in the same location, you can save time by assigning location information to the project in Projects view. Rather than selecting images in the Browser and assigning them a location, you can assign the location to the project. Assigning a location to a project assigns the location to all versions in the project.
To quickly assign a location to all versions in a project
In the Library inspector, select Projects.
The Aperture main window switches to Projects view.
Click the Info button for the project to which you want to assign the location.
The Info HUD appears.
In the Info HUD, click Assign Location.
In the dialog that appears, enter a specific address or the name of a place, a city or town, or a significant geographical location such as a national park in the search field.
Google searches for the location you entered in the search field and displays a list of search results. Place names that match the text you entered are displayed at the top of the search results list, and Google search matches are displayed under Google Results.
Select the search result that matches the location you are looking for.
If you would like to give the location a custom name, enter a name in the Place Name field.
Click Assign.
The selected location is assigned to every image in the project.

How do I add text to a photo when making a calendar from iPhoto? I see the text box for the dates but not for the actual photo...thanks.

I can't find a way to add text to a photo once it's been put into the top pane of the calendar month...is there a way to do this since I'd like to add a descriptor to the photos? I see the text box when you click on the calendar date, but don't find one for the photo pane. Thanks for any assistance.

Right - you can not add text to photos with iPhoto - you must use an external editor

How do i add text to my photos?

How do i add text to my photos - previously you could do this on iphoto

Many users find the excellent and highly-recommended BorderFX more than meets their needs.
A couple of things to note:
- "Photos" misleads us into an understanding of what we manipulate with our computers that differs from what our computers are programmed to manipulate. Within Aperture, you have Images (called, imho confusingly, also Versions and also Photos); outside of Aperture you have image-format files that you see listed in the Finder and use in other programs. BorderFX lets you overlay text and watermarks, and add borders, to Images in Aperture. When you do this, a new file is created and automatically imported (it becomes a new Original). You can also export via BorderFX, in which case a file based on your Image and the changes you've set in BorderFX is saved to the location (outside of Aperture) that you specify.
- Adding text to an Image is a _graphics_ operation, and not a _digital camera file_ operation: it is outside the remit of Aperture, which hews to being a photographer's non-destructive RAW digital camera file storage and development workspace. You use Aperture to store, organize, and develop (make as good as possible for a particular use) digital camera files. When you need a new graphics file, you (generally) export your Image from Aperture, and create new graphics files using a graphics program (e.g.: Photoshop, Pixelmator, GIMP, etc.). Graphics programs are built from the ground up as compositors. Aperture does almost no compositing. BorderFX is a slick, purpose-driven compositing plug-in.

Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?

Can you edit a person out of one photo and add them to another photo? Like if you need the head shot from one photo to replace closed eyes in the other photo? Thanks.

Thank you very much! Does this require software to be purchased? I'm new to Photoshop.

Welcome to the forum.
Yes, this is done often. You will need to create a Mask of that person, to separate them from the background of the original Image.
I like to do this with a Layer Mask, as it offers control, and really does not alter the Image, so you can go back and make changes.
Let's say that you have Image 01 w/ the head of your subject, and want to place it into Image 02. In Image 01, make a rough Selection. I would include a bit of extra background, as we will take care of that in a moment. With that Selection active, Copy the head shot. Go to Image 02, and Paste it. It will Paste in its own Layer. Ctrl+T (Free Transform) can be used to Scale and also position that Layer with the head. Once you have that Scaled and positioned about where you want it, create a Layer Mask. In QuickMask Mode, just paint in the additional Mask to remove all traces of the background that came in with the head shot. As you can paint OUT, and also paint IN the Mask, you can work on this, as many times as you wish - even next year.
For getting that Layer Mask looking good, work slowly, also see this http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/l/blrbps_5agirl.htm.
I've got another tutorial, that addresses the hair area, and will post that, when I find my bookmark.
Good luck,
Hunt

I have Iphoto 09 8.2 and would like to add text over my photo, so when you bring the photo up the copy displays on the photo. Could you please advise

I am using Iphoto 09 8.2 and need to overlay text on my photo. Could you advise how to do this. Can I do it in Iphoto?

You can't add text to a photo in iPhoto.
In a slideshow you can elect to show the title over a pic.
