GPS metadata settings on preset LR 5.7

I have the 5D MKIII and just acquired the GP-E2, after taking some sample pictures the GPS info does not show in GPS part of metadata. In reading the forum and other sources, I may be missing something in setting up the preset, based on hints that it may be the preset. I would appreciate it if someone who has this working show me exactly how to fill in the GPS portion of the preset to get this info to show in the map function. The images do have the GPS info because I see it in the Bridge software.
Thank YOU

Which preset are you speaking of? I have one called "geoencoding," but I'm not sure if that was a LR preset or one created with a plugin I have added.
I would think if GPS is in photo metadata (RAW XMP or JPEG) and shows up in Bridge it would be available in LR as well; it's in a standard place in the data (GPS IFD I think). Maybe you didn't refresh or reload the metadata for the photos in LR, so it doesn't know it's there? You shouldn't have to manually fill in anything; it should just be there as written by the camera. To test, take a photo that does not have geolocation info and add some in the Map module by just picking a location at random. If that works then look at the info in the Library module under metadata "EXIF and IPTC."

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.

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?

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.

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

Writing XMP Thumbnail Metadata to AE Preset

Hi guys.
I am working on a After Effects script to basically insert a gif as metadata into a fx preset file. If you open Adobe bridge and browse to the After effects text presets you will see that you can click on a preset and in the preview there is an animated GIF. So I am attempting to do this for custom presets.
Basically I think I need to read the contents of a GIF file as data, or text, then encode that as base64 and insert it into the metadata of the preset file.
I have a come across a couple of problems though:
1) I can't seem to read in the GIF file as data
     The code I am using is:
file = new File("C:\\test.gif");
file.open("r");
test = file.read();
alert(test);
And all I get returned is the first part of the data which is "GIF89aØ", It seems that when white space is encountered After Effects stops reading the data.
2) I have been testing some code to write thumbnail data to a preset file, but I have come across an issue here too.
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) {
ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');
xmpFile.closeFile(XMPConst.CLOSE_UPDATE_SAFELY);
file = new File("C:\\joshPreset.ffx");
xmpFile = new XMPFile(file.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE);
var xmp = xmpFile.getXMP();
xmp.appendArrayItem( "http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/","Thumbnails",null, 0,XMPConst.ARRAY_IS_ALTERNATIVE );
This code works, it inserts a Thumbnails array into the metadata, which looks like this:
   <xmp:Thumbnails>
    <rdf:Alt>
    </rdf:Alt>
   </xmp:Thumbnails>
I then need to add other properties within the Thumbnails array like xapGImg:height and xapGImg:image
So from what I read in the documentation I need to add a Struct field?
I add these lines to my code:
XMPMeta.registerNamespace("http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/g/img/", "xapGImg");
xmp.setStructField("xapGImg","Thumbnails","xapGImg:height", 0,null );
The first line is to register the name space. xapGImg is what I found in the after effects text preset file.
The second line is to add a struct field to the array. But I get an error whenever I run it with the second line. It says:
XMP Exception: Unregistered schema namespace URI
I have tried all different combinations of the namespace in the second line but just cannot get it to work!
If anyone can help that would be great!

Hi AthorNZ,
I can only give you some answers regarding question 2.
First of all you should be aware that XMPFiles does not offer smart handling of AE project files. Instead it uses so called "packet scanning" to work with the XMP within the file. This means that reading of XMP data works fairly well but updating it is rather limited. If no XMP is present in the file, it cannot be newly injected. If XMP is present, it can only be updated within the given space (i.e. padding) that already exists within the file. Otherwise an update is rejected.
Regarding the thumbnails: Your first snippet of code is correct. But for one you do not need to register the thumbnail related namespace as it is a pre-registered one. So you can use the constants from XMP_Const.h to work with those namespaces.
Secondly to set a struct field within the array you need to use the namespace URIs and not prefixes. Again you can use constants already defined:
xmp.setStructField( kXMP_NS_XMP, "Thumbnails", kXMP_NS_XMP_Image, "height", <your value> );
You got the exception because XMPCore tried to interpret your prefixes as URIs which were not registered, of course.
Kind regards

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.

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:

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.

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.

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

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.

How to see what settings a preset contains?

When I get a preset from somewhere, how do I see what settings that preset controls?
Thanks,
Jim

Jao vdL had this to say:
Open it in a text editor, it will list all the settings and their values with pretty obvious names.
I think those presets are really just XML files - just a normal ASCII
text file, not a binary format file. So using any text editing tool
should tell you what settings get changed, I guess.

In the metadata settings i can find the file size in pix. is it possible to see the size in inches?

in the metadata settings i can find the file size in pix. is it possible to see the size in inches?

Yes, that is one way to do it. But you can also do it by doing some simple math. For instance, let's say the you have an image that is 4000 x 6000 pixels. It doesn't matter whether resolution setting is in the file. The image is still 4000 x 6000 pixels. But you can decide what resolution you are going to export your copy. And you would do that for its intended purpose. If you are going for a high quality print then you would probably want 300 PPI in your export settings. With the example I've given the size print you can get had 300 PPI would be as follows:
4000 (pixels) / 300 (PPI) = 13.333 Inches
6000 (pixels) / 300 (PPI) = 20 inches
So if you were really precise in needing a 300 PPI print you can get one that is 13 x 20".
If you are preparing for display on the screen, the higher resolution isn't needed. Using the same math:
4000 / 72 = 55.55 inches
6000 / 72 = 83.33 inches
By doing some simple math in your head you can determine the resolution that you need and the size that you need and set up your export accordingly.
Technically speaking a digital image doesn't have a size other than pixel dimensions. Everything else has to be determined by the resolution that you need for the intended purpose of the final image.
