GPS Metadata missing in Bridge

I have a problem with seeing GPS metadata in Bridge CS2.  I use a Gisteq datalogger to add GPS data to my DNG files and it writes the data to the associated XMP file. I can see it there if I open the XMP in Notepad.  If I view the file in Bridge, the GPS fields are blank.  I have set preferences to display all metadata fields even if blank. Is this a bug?

I just solved the problem myself. I am using Gisteq Phototracker Pro to add GPS data.  It works OK when a add the GPS data to a JPG.  I can view the GPS data in Bridge.  When I use a DNG file, I converted directly to a DNG in Bridge from the RAW file but did not do anything else with it. I then used Phototracker which created the XMP file with the GPS data in it.  There was no XMP file until then. I could see the GPS data in the XMP in Notepad but Bridge did not see it.
I picked up the DNG file in Bridge and changed some settings in Camera Raw and resaved the DNG.  It could then see the GPS data in Bridge.  Bridge did not know the XMP had been associated with the DNG after Phototracker had created it until I did something with it in Bridge.

  • Copy GPS Metadata Back into Photoshop TIFFs with Bridge Scripting

    I've published a sample script on the Bridge blog about metadata scripting with Bridge and AdobeXMPScript -- specifically the script deals with GPS metadata and automation that synchronizes work done by both Bridge and Photoshop.
    Here is the link:

    I couldn't read all through your post as I am jetting out of here.
    Buy this:

    and install it. It's relatively cheap. Screen shot is from Windows Explorer.
    Handles ID, PSD, etc., files as well. Though the preview uses greeked text for the most part for the ID files.

  • GPS Metadata for Managed Images Bug

    Alright this is really dumb. Aperture strips the GPS metadata for managed images on a version export, but does not for referenced files.
    It just took me 4 hours to figure that out, ug. Metadata is sacred! Always preserve it.

    My Aperture library uses managed masters.
    I too discovered that if I performed *version exports* of geotagged masters the exported images did not retain the GPS data. The problem was the same regardless of whether the masters were .jpgs or RAW files. (Geotagging was performed with Maperture and Maperture Pro; the bug symptoms are the same regardless of which tool was used.)
    Additionally, I discovered that if I performed *master exports*, then not only were the geotags retained in the exported files, but that +reimporting those same exports resulted in new masters whose versions would subsequently retain their geotags on version export+.
    synonym wrote:
    If you Relocate Masters... BEFORE you add GPS metadata using Maperture you don't lose any IPTC metadata. If you then Consolidate Masters... you can then apply GPS metadata to these images within your Aperture library and you will not lose IPTC or the GPS data on exporting the versions.
    If I'm reading this correctly it sounds like you can "scrub" your library of the problem by relocating masters and then consolidating them again, and that subsequently applied geotags (and by inference IPTC metadata) will be retained on new version exports. Did I get that right?
    However if you already have loads of images in your Aperture library that you have added GPS data to with Maperture and you also have loads of IPTC metadata on them and adjustments what do you do?
    I did a backup of the library at this point to a vault. I then restored the vault and GPS data and IPTC metadata was all retained and was also all retained on exporting versions!
    And if I'm reading the last sentence of your post correctly, it seems like the consistent behavior between our two situations is that if *images are brought into the library with geotags already in them* - in your case by library restoration and in my case by re-importation of previously geotagged masters - *then the geotags will be retained on subsequent master and version exports*.
    Is that a valid conclusion to draw? If so, it sounds like I could workaround the problem of geotags missing from my version exports by either A) relocating and then consolidating my masters, or B) by the three-step process of:
    1) geotagging my images,
    2) updating the vault, and then
    3) restoring my library from the vault.

  • GPS Metadata dose not show full accuracy

    Is there a way to show the full GPS coordinate data in the metadata?
    In Nikon ViewNX it shows one of the coordinates as S23d 19m 15.23s from my image while Lightroom 4.2 only shows 32d 19m 15s.  The 0.23seconds is missing in LR4.  The data must be there as I have images that are shown in different positions on the map but the GPS metadata is the same.  Since the full data is not sown in LR4 the metadata cannot be accurately copied from one image to another.

    A number of people have complained about LR's lack of precision for GPS coordinates:

  • Import GPS metadata info into Lightroom

    How do I import GPS metadata info into Lightroom from either my camera or from disk?  I'm using lightroom 3.2.  It shows up in CS5 Bridge, why not in Lightroom?
    oracle 52

    I downloaded the plug-in and used the metadata file preset for geo-tagging plus all the others in Adobe Lightroom 3 prior to "import" using the "Add" submenu.  Only under the geo-tagging preset in Metadata did I see the "labels" of latitude, longitude, etc.  However, the metadata for each of the photos for these labels were blank.  Yet, when viewing these photos on Nikon VX from which the photos was imported shows the correct GPS coordinates.  Why isn't this data being displayed in Lightroom as it appears from the original file on my hard drive?

  • Viewing XMP Metadata in Adobe Bridge via Adobe Drive Connector

    Hi there,
    I've been trying to view remote file XMP metadata in Adobe bridge via our adobe drive connector. I've added the READ_XMP_METADATA capablitiy, and I've seen the DataType.XMP has been requested. but I'm not sure how to display the metadata on the Adobe bridge metadata panel. since the metadata is embeded in the file, when i browse the file in local drive, the metadata shows fine, but when it's on our remote server, some how bridge doesn't extract the info and display it. I can see the metadata when I browse the remote file in windows explorer adobe drive. and we do download the file to local to a temp copy, browse the temp copy in bridge also showing the metadata, The only thing not working is browsing the remote file in bridge via adobe drive connector.
    Please advise what should be done, in the programmer's guide, it says for each item, request that the server return the XMP data for that asset. How should I do that? If the XMP is embeded in the file, why would I need to request for it, would it be automatically extracted from the file?
    Thanks,

  • Why is My MetaData Window of Bridge CS6 Displaying Incorrect File info?

    The File Properties tab in the MetaData Window of Bridge CS6 is saying that my file is 72 ppi but when I open my file in PS it is actually 300 ppi 15x10 inches. See screen grab below. I understand that 72 ppi at 125" x 41.7" is the same as a 300 ppi file that is 30" x 10" or 9000 x 3000 pixels dimensions. But why is bridge making this conversion and displaying the file resolution as being 72 ppi when the file is 300 ppi? Is there a preference setting somewhere that I need to change?
    When I look at these same files from another networked machine using Bridge CS6 the Metadata window is showing the files as being 300 ppi? Is there a setting inside Bridge somewhere that is making it show all files in the Metadata window as being based upon a 72 ppi resolution?

    jonnymo,
    I believe I should have said Yosemite/Column view.
    Has the issue appeared after an upgrade to Yosemite?

  • Howto Extract Exif GPS Metadata from JPEG?

    Hi,
    i want to extract GPS Metadata from a JPEG.
    The JPEG is a photo taken with an HP iPAQ hw6900 PDA.
    Serveral application like exif-o-matic can extract the GPS latitude/longitude metadata.
    As described in the Oracle interMedia/Multimedia Userguide "Chapter 6 - Working with Metadata" i use a pl/sql procedure to extract these metadata.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28415/ch_metadata.htm#CIAEFDGH
    I insert a row and extract the metadata but in the exif xml column there are no gps metadata only width/height and so on.
    How do i extract these informations?

    I got an XML document with no GPS metadata.
    With "select p.image.getMetadata('exif') from photos p where id = xx;" i got sys.xmltype(sys.xmltype)
    and with "select p.metaexif.extract('/').getStringVal() from photos p where id = xx;" I got an xml string like these

  • GPS Metadata filter

    I imported a few photos to experiment and added GPS data to some. After adding location to some photos the metadata filter list for GPS Location shows
    All (2 GPS Locations)  53
    Current Map Region 14
    Location A     14
    This just seems wrong, the numbers do not add up. With the label filter I see
    All (2 Labels)  53
    Red      10
    No Label 43
    This makes sense as having an entry for No Label makes the numbers add up.
    Why is there not an entry for No Location in the GPS metadata filter list ?
    It would certainly seem simpler than having to create a smart collection, which does allow filtering on No GPS Data

    Oh I had not noticed that there are 2 separate metadata filters for GSP data. GPS Data being any/none and GPS Location only allowing filtering of specific locations.
    It seems odd to me to have these as separate filter lists

  • How to view GPS metadata in preview?

    Hi!
    It seems possible to view metadata in Preview by opening a file, hitting cmd+I and selecting GPS (sorry, it is in Italian – http://apple.hdblog.it/2010/08/23/come-accedere-a-tante-informazioni-delle-foto- fatte-con-iphone-tramite-anteprima/). But it seems not working with me... Anyway... can I see GPS metadata on Photos or somewhere else? In Photos I can see the position, but not the GPS data... and in Preview I don't have the GPS palette, as you see from the picture.
    Thank you very much in advance!
    Regards
    S.

    You will only see the GPS tab if there is actual GPS metadata. If the tab is not showing, the file does not have GPS location data.
    By default, when you export from Photos, it does not include the GPS position data. You can enable that in Photos Preferences, General tab.

  • Metadata edited in Bridge is not reflected in the Info Dialogue Box, but shows up in Photoshop.

    Metadata edited in Bridge is not reflected in the Info Dialogue Box, but shows up in Photoshop.

    Dear Ramón,
    You are right that not all metadata is shown in the Finder info but in my case the once added in IPTC core do show as expected for most file types (but not CR2 raw). As you now I convert my CR2 to DNG for a long time now I had to look up the original Raw file and create the data for description, location, keywords again. The data you can add and alter yourself in the IPTC Core field. I added a series of screenshots showing different info and to my surprise (another reason to keep to DNG…) the Raw file had very less info and the xmp shows it all in a rather long and obscure way. Yet PSD, DNG and File info in PS show the same.
    Could not recreate the Bridge metadata workspace from the OP because mine (Bridge CC) does not have the description field as an option anymore for some obscure reason. Also checked this in my CS6 version with same result, making the metadata workspace unusable but that was it already for a long time.
    Still leaves us with the problem the OP showed, having all info in most files, as in Finder info, but not in Bridge. So could the OP respond to the purge cache for selection option in post 4?
    Here are (a bit to many, sorry) my screenshots showing different file info (in Dutch but you will manage with that) and metadata in Bridge:
    Finder info for PSD and DNG:
    Finder info for CR2 and XMP:
    File info Bridge / PSD:
    And a Bridge Metadata view:

  • GPS Metadata Won't Export With Master?

    I've exported a master and a jpg version of the same photo that has GPS data from Places on it from A3 and imported to into LR2.
    The jpg arrived with GPS metadata but the master did not. I double checked A3 is set to include the IPTC data set on export and for good measure I re-exported other GPSed photos and checked them in Preview in case LR2 was doing something to the GPS data. Same results in Preview.
    A3 isn't letting you take masters out with GPS intact AFAIK. Anyone see this?

    Yes, I'm experiencing the same problem. GPS info is exported with the jpeg but not with the master.
    I think A3 is only using the internal places database to store the GPS info and it gets written to the jpg only when exporting (and assuming you've selected to export locaton info), in the same way as it happens with Iphoto.
    The logical workflow should be to write everything (IPTC, GPS and date) into the master when selecting update master metadata, or at the very least to have a choice of which of the above to include in the metadata update.
    Right now the only way to ensure that all masters are properly GPS tagged is to use an external GPS editor such as houdageo, however this only works in Aperture 3 with referenced files.

  • GPS Metadata

    Is there a way to copy GPS metadata from 1 image to many others?  I'm putting in GPS data manually using the Metadata Placard.  The Import/Export metadata templates does not copy the GPS data.  Thanks

    Found this with a Google search for "Lightroom & GPS data", which was the very first hit.

  • Can i use my playbook as a GPS without wifi niether bridge connection?

    can i use my playbook as a GPS without wifi niether bridge connection?
    please help me!!!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    @vanawful, the GPS capability comes from the TI WiLink 7 chip (WL-1283) that provides all the wireless capabilities for the WiFi-only PlayBook.
    Although the jury's still out on whether different units may behave differently, so far it appears likely every unit *can* work, under the right conditions, but problems in the software (OS level) or possibly in the chip itself (nobody's saying yet) mean that it's quite unreliable.
    There is no need to have WiFi enabled for it, and I've used the GPS frequently now with WiFi off and no nearby hotspots, no tethering (I don't even have a smartphone), and just the GPS running.
    If you pick a clear day (i.e. no big rain clouds off to the south, etc), are out in the open without buildings or other things blocking the view of the sky, make certain you are not covering up the lower-right corner of the PlayBook where it appears the GPS antenna is, run the Compass app, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes (if this is your first time using it) so it can find and download ephemeris data from each satellite, you should see it start reporting lat/long positions after that.
    If you do this, and it doesn't work, try again. Then try again. Maybe try another time. Preferably do this on different days too, and possibly after a reboot. Yes, it appears to be that flaky sometimes...
    I've written my own GPS recording app (no fancy map... just records the readings) and done numerous tests at this point. The readings, when they arrive, are generally exceptionally good. The main problem is getting them to actually arrive and, so far, I've found nothing that can force the issue. Even with my own app, I sometimes have to start it up and leave it alone for some minutes, 4-5 times, before I get the first reading, and there are days I've just given up and moved on. The next day it will simply work. It's largely random.
    The three single biggest things you need to remember to get any readings: be outdoors away from big buildings, don't pick a heavily overcast day, and do NOT hold the unit with your right hand covering the bottom right corner (when held in the default landscape orientation with the cameras on top, that is).
