Geotagging photos in LR4

Is it really so that you only can load one gpx-file at a time and geotag photos that are on that track? This starts to feel very stupid after a 2 week trip with a GPS that splits the track into daily gpx-files (my device can create longer tracks too but not nearly long enough to cover a week or two). In the tool I used previously I could select multiple files and geotag the whole batch in one sweep. Hope that quite small addition will appear in some update verison. Or did I miss some feature that makes it possible in 4.0?

Yes, merging before importing to LR is of course an option. I have already tried GPX Editor, which however produce output that LR refuse to read. Babel next...
But then we can conclude that Adobe has missed this small but quite significant detail when planning the GPX import use cases. Letting the user select multiple files and merging them on the fly when importing should be trivial to implement.

How to make copies/duplicates of photos in LR4 - NOT Virtual Copies

Can someone tell me if there is a SIMPLE way to make a copy or duplicate of a photo in LR4. In otherwords, you have a photo image in one folder and you want to make a copy and move it to another folder or subfolder and that copy is identical in EVERY aspect to the original photo and can be edited, manipulated, etc. without affecting the original. I can find nothing on this subject - all I keep getting is this VIRTUAL COPY which is NOT like the original and cannot be moved without the original (Master) going along with it. What's the problem? Every image program I know of can do this. BTW this in on a Mac Lion (10.8.4). Thank you, Brad

new location - do not rename
Or same (or different) location, and do rename.
I do this regularly, but only for testing purposes. Note: Some people don't want to use virtual copies, because they are handled as "2nd class citizens" by Lightroom (e.g. not saved in xmp, and must tag along with master base copy...).
That said, I agree that care should be taken when having multiple (real) copies of same file, especially if they have the same filename (which I don't recommend, unless you really know what you are doing, and why...).

Aperture 3: Geotagged Photos show up in wrong part of world

I imported a set of geotagged photos. When I look at places in Aperture 3 several of the photos are appearing in the wrong part of the world ( Kazakhstan instead of Nova Scotia). The photos were taken / geotagged by my Blackberry Storm. When I travel I'll take a picture with the Storm to get the geotag info and then later copy those coordinates into the photos I take with my camera. The photos with the copied coordinates ( I used PhotoMechanic to set the location info) are showing up in the correct location by the way.
The Storm photos show up in the right location when viewed in iPhoto, Flckr, Photo Mechanic, Google Earth.
Any ideas why this would be happening

Just stepped in the same problem on my Mac Pro, Aperture 3.2.1, iTunes 10.5.1 and iPad updated to 5.0.1.
Once selected Aperture as reference library for photo syncing I selected specific projects and faces. As a photographer I have volumes of material I just can't copy completely on devices.
I noticed the number on the right side of projects in iTunes were way below the actual content. Syncing just let me verify on my iPad a lot of picture were missing.
Deselecting Aperture and photo sync, erasing pictures from the device and restarting from the top didn't help.
Also repairing photo database gave no effect.
I solved by updating ALL photos previews in Aperture. It took the whole day, 16 hours, but in the end, quitting both AP and iTunes then enabling photo sync showed the correct amount for each project, same on iPad.

Inconsistent results using the "places" view on the iPad with geotagged photos

I am getting inconsistent results with geotagged photos on the iPad (both 1 and 2) OS 5.01. It seems that sometime photos will show up in the correct location on the places view others will not ( they will not show up at all). In fact I can have a geotagged photo in one folder, synch with iTunes and it will not show up in the places view and then move that same picture to a different folder (which becomes an album on the iPad) re-synch and it will now show up at the correct location in the places view. All photos show up in the album view. Everything is the latest version iTunes, iPad etc. I can also have many photos geotagged exactly to the same location (exact same coordinates) some will show up, others will not.
I have used different methods to geotag my photos. At first I was using Photoshop Elements 8 until they stopped supporting geotagging photos. Now I am using a third party application GeoSetter (excellent free application). The GPS data is clearly in the Exif data but the results are not consistent.
Any ideas?

I believe I have solved this problem myself and thought others might benefit from what I found. It turns out to be what I believe as a glitch in iTunes. iTunes creates a cache of all the photos that you synch with your iPad, iPhone etc. Apparently it does not update that cache when you change the photo. At least not the Geotagging data. The file modify date was changing but that wasn't enough to cause iTunes to update the cache of the photos. I deleted the cache of all the photos and re-synched and presto now all my photos where showing up at the correct location in the iPad "places" view.
I might add that I called Apple tech support and was routed to a higher tier support person and was very disappointed with his response. He basically told me that the "place" view in the iPad and iPhone was designed to be only used with an Apple computer and Apple software and was surprised the places view was working at all with pictures synched with a Windows based machine. He also said he was unable to help me since he couldn't provide support for non-Apple products. Although I understand this to a point I think he was too quick to make this decision. The solution after all was a simple one and one I think he should have known. I would think this cache problem would happen whether I was using Apple products as well. I view this as a bug in iTunes. Apple needs to compare the modified date of the file and update the cache if it has changed.

2 identical sets of photos in LR4, one set shows as missing but has all keywords attached; photos not missing are missing keywords

I had to move photos and LR4 catalog from one external storage to another. I now have two identical sets of photos in the catalog but one full set is shown as missing. Easy enough to delete these but they have all my hours and hours of work on keywords attached to them. The other set of photos, the one that actually exists on the drive, has no keywords attached. I gotta have those keywords! Is there a way that won't take the rest of my life to get photos and keywords connected again?

Thanks for helping!
Your suggestion didn't work, but it did get me tinkering around and led me to a solution that's not necessarily quick but definitely easier than re-entering all the keywords.
I was smart enough to not have deleted the photos from the thumb drive they were first saved on, so I plugged it back in. Then I went to the folders list in LR and deleted the existing, missing-keyword photos, folder by folder. Then I just dragged the images from the original drive to the the new one. Well, I'm still doing it to 1500 photos but it's working and it saves me lots of work. So thank you for helping me think of the problem and its solution in a different way. I appreciate your time.

Share Geotagged Photos: Flickr, Picasa or Panoramio? Which do you use?

I've gotten started geotagging photos. I'm using HoudahGeo and pulling tracks from my Garmin etrex. Then importing into iPhoto. Really cool.
My photos are mostly from hiking. I'd like to start sharing some of these, but don't know which service is best. Flickr, Picasa, or Panoramio? I've started an account on all three to compare them, but I haven't installed any plug-ins yet.
I'm wondering which service makes it easiest for others to find my photos. Not just people I know, but someone who might want to hike the same trail, camp at the same site and check it out ahead of time. Picasa doesn't have a map, but I've noticed that photos show up in search almost right away. In Flickr, my photos haven't showed up after a day (it is a holiday weekend). I understand that with Panoramio, they are reviewed first, so that could take weeks.
So, which service do you use and why?

CHoice is up to you - I use Panoramio and google earth because I like the way they work and integrate and I use Google earth to plan trips and see where I went
You also might take a look at the ATP Photo FInder - http://photofinder.atpinc.com/ - it is a neat, small stand alone GPS receiver that will add the GeoCodeing to your photos without the computer - CostCo.com recently had them on sale for $80 with free shipping

After editing in perfect photo I cannot unstack the edited photo in LR4.

After editing in perfect photo I cannot unstack the edited photo in LR4. The thumbnail shows the number of photos in the stack, but right click/expand stack has no effect. The edited photo is not showing.

The edited photo (assumed to be a TIFF, created via Edit In or an Export plugin) might need to be added to the catalogue. The plugin should arguably do this but I’ve had issues in the past where this didn’t happen. Try adding the newly edited image using the Import dialogue - any images in the folder not already in the catalogue will be ticked.
NB You might find the newly added image on the far right of the filmstrip.

FlickIt: unable to access GeoTag photos to post on Flickr?

Please fix the iPhone SDK so that 3rd party apps like FlickIt can send the geotagged photos to Flickr. Why strip the GPS data off if it's already there? Sounds like a bug to me? Now I've just wasted my time with my vacation photos. I thought I had so carefully geotagged and uploaded from the road. See diagnosis of the bug & workaround below. I'm really impressed with the high quality of support and quick response I got from a free app on a Sunday!
I just want to see my photos on a map. Is a mashup that hard to do? Maybe iPhone Maps / Google Earth apps should learn this trick then I would only need Flickr maps website to share with others?
Unfortunately, missing GPS data is due to a limitation in the iPhone OS itself. By the time my app gets the photo, the OS has stripped off all EXIF metadata. This is a problem for all 3rd-party developers using the camera or library choosers from Apple.
If you transfer your images using iPhoto or sync them using iTunes, then they should retain their original GPS metadata.

Email geotagged photos with map link.

I use Nokia Location Tagger in my Nokia N95-1.
Nokia Location Tagger geotag my photos and I can se in Nokia Maps that the coordinates are right.
I want to email my geotagged photos from my phone to my friends and also a map link with the coordinates.
If my friends click on the coordinates (or on the photo) I want Google Maps (or similar) to open.
Is it possible to send a map link like this?

Hi there,
Okay, I understand what you're trying to do a little better now. How about Share on Ovi in conjunction with the Share Online client for the mobile phone? It works very well, I just pushed a photo with a GeoTag this morning, which gives you a Google Map View tab when you visit the link. The application on the phone and online both let you send links to your friends. Check out my post:
http://share.ovi.com/channel/travla.MyStuff
You just need to sign up at http://share.ovi.com.
I also noticed that if you don't want to download the Share Online client (or if you handset was not supported), each channel you create (think of channels like folders) has an e-mail address associated with it. All you need to do to post without the Share Online client (say from your desktop PC or Mobile E-mail client) is to mail your GeoTagged media to these customised channel e-mail addresses and you media is posted on the web with a Map View. Very cool.....
If you found this post helpful, please click on the green "Kudos!" star. Cheers!

GeoTag photos already taken?

Is it possible to geotag photos taken while location services were disabled (or to photos added from the computer) and these to be incorporated to the "Places" map inside "Photos"?

I'll still be able to connect to wifi, right?
Yes.
you can still receive/send SMS, does that sound right?
Ever hear the term "Sticker Shock"? To do that would require activating International Provisioning on your account with AT&T before you go. You would then pick a carrier/plan for every country you intend to visit. Did I mention this would be expensive, as in "Sticker Shock"?

How to create a pdf or jpg of a group of photos in LR4

Is it possible to create a jpg or pdf of a group of images in LR4, like you can in Bridge output? I try the Web section and it creates a perfect page of the images but it's only available in HTML and Flash.
I don't need the photos to be enlarged at all, I just want a preview of a few images with a title. I can still use Bridge but since I've started using LR4, I've not really a need for photoshop, or rather, why
spend $33/mo for photoshop when I really don't have a need for most of what photoshop offers. However, I do need to make previews of photo and video series. My website is a pay site that is password
protected except for a blog/updates section, and the model preview galleries. Right now it's just so easy in bridge to get this done but it would be nice to save some money and do this in lightroom. Uploading a web
gallery directly to the dedicated server is possible but getting onto the blog/updates page which is not password protected would be the problem, as I see it.
The updates/blog page has a feature image that is displayed on the homepage of the website at 670 pixels wide and up to 230 pixels tall, though I usually stay between 90-150. In photoshop you can set your crop tool to those dimensions 670px by 110px for example or in bridge I can use multiple video screen captures or photos and have bridge make the small image by setting the particular parameters in output. Is this possible in LR? The updates/blog page has the feature image and then you can add other media along with your text. This is where I upload the series preview image board/web gallery. Oh, and I did try the print section but would prefer the ability to add titles and description.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Great, it works! That's the first time I am using this forum, and I must say I'm amazed at how fast I got an answer.
Thank you very much!

How to import photos into LR4 that LR states have already been imported.

LR4 in import mode shows photo files that it has labeled with a leading "_" in a muted format and states they have already been imported and will not allow importing. I have been unable to locate them by file name or date in LR or using file searches. How can I find and/or import them? Do I have to rename all the files by deleting the leading _ in the file name?
Thanks

Duplicate file detection is based on more than just file name. Duplicate file names are allowed in your catalog. You can try turning off the "Don't Import Suspected Duplicates" (under the File Handling roll-out on the right panel of the Import dialog window) and see what that does for you. As to finding the files that these are (potentially) duplicates of, it's hard to say. Name and date are some of the easier ways of doing it. What folder it got imported into may be another. If you've been using keywords and/or Collections, this may help as well.

Where is the map of the whole world showing ALL my geotagged photos in the new Photos app?

After "upgrading" from iPhoto to Photos, I cannot call up the world map to locate where I took pictures. Is this feature gone?
It used to be if you clicked on "places" in the iPhoto sidebar you got this map. All the photos in one's library were represented by red pins. Since I organize my photos by location more than anything else feature such as date, this is a critical feature for me. Is it gone or has it been buried somewhere else in the program. (And no, clicking on the location data in each of the "events" is not sufficient because it only shows the photos in that event.)
Also, how do you geotag data after you have taken a photo if it was geotagged in contemporaneously?

There is no upgrade - Photos is a new and totally different application - it does not have a map view and currently does not have any ability to add or modify locations - iPhoto still exists as it was before
Tell Apple what you want
In the meantime you have the option of continuing to use iPhoto (or Aperture) as before - they still work fine and will continue to until come OS upgrade breaks them - maybe with enough customer input Apple will even agree to continue to support them - worth a try
