Lat & Lon in Places - Aperture 3

I have numerous photos taken in the high Arctic about 20 years ago. How do I get Places to accept the latitude and longitude so I can locate them reasonably close to where they were taken on the map? When I expand the map there are no place names or geographical highlights to use as a visual reference. The photos were taken with a film camera and the locations were determined the old fashioned way.

TJK,
I'm not experiencing the same thing that you are. Here's what I did. Please follow the same actions and let us know what you find.
1. Select 1 photo
2. Go to Places view with the toolbar button
3. enter "74, -42" into the "Search the map" text box
4. Click on the only selection available ("72.000000, -42.000000 Tuvu")
5. Zoom out until I can see Greenland
6. Drag the 1 photo to the coast (so I can tell it's not at (72, -42), which is a lot of snow and ice)
7. Click the "done" button
8. Select 1 more photo
9. Drag the 1 photo to a different place
10. Click the "done" button
11. Select a different project
12. Reselect the project with the newly tagged photos
In my case, both photos are right where I dropped them.

  • Any way to set picture locations to a specific lat/lon?

    I've got a bunch of pictures in my iPhoto library that were taken at interesting places that aren't listed in the little database of landmarks that is pre-loaded into iPhoto '09. (For example: at the top of a mountain, or on a particular bridge, etc.) It's easy to find these places in Google Earth, so I know the exact latitude/longitude... but how can I tell iPhoto this information if the mountain/bridge/etc. isn't famous enough to be listed? Is there any way to just type in a latitude and longitude?
    Thanks!

    (However, that's a really cumbersome task if I'm going through a large roll of photos.
    Select all photos taken at the same location and enter the location for all of them at once.
    It would be great if there were a way to just type in a lat/lon if I know it
    I don't see a difference in assigning a name to a lat/long entry or assigning a name to a "pin" location on a map.
    because it's written in the picture file's EXIF header!
    My understanding is that these photos will have to be re-imported if you want iPhoto '09 to "scan" the data and add it to the iPhoto '09 database if the photos where originally imported under iMovie '08.

  • Help needed to write algorithm to find Direction given lat/lon

    Hello, i need an algorithm to find out the direction being traveled given the starting and ending lat/lon decimal coordinates. Anybody have any clues how to do it? or where i can find one to just plug into my program? thanks for your help
    public String getDirection(double prevLat, double prevLon, double newLat, double newLon) {
        String direction;
        return direction;
    }

    Perhaps this helps:
    http://www.cssd.ab.ca/tech/social/latitude/index.html
    It will help you learn the meaning of lat/long-coords. I think you will end up with somthing like this:
    if ( prevLat < newLat) {
       //we are travelling north
    else {
       // we are travelling south
    if (prevLong < newLong) {
       //we are travelling east?
    else {
       //we are travelling west
    }This could be wrong, since there is a west-long and an east-long..
    Anyhow, hope this gets you on your way.
    ps: is this a class-assignment??

  • Lat/Lon Format

    Canon 5D III, Canon GP-E2 GPS, LR 5.2
    The Lat/Lon format in LR is displayed as:
    35°45'54" N 82°15'54" W
    That is very inconvenient for any other work.
    The desired Lat/Lon format needs to be
    35.76500, -82.26500
    I can’t find a way to change the format.  Can any one help?

    Jeffrey Friedl's metadata viewer will format it just the way you want, out of the box:
    http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/metadata-viewer
    It's a one-at-a-time thing, and takes a second or two for results.
    If you want something more persistent and immediate, which you can use in lib-filters and/or smart collections..., consider ExifMeta - use the 'GPS Lat-Long in Decimal' preset (preset manager section of plugin manager).

  • Converting large amounts of points - 76 million lat/lon's to spatial object...

    Hello, I need help.
    Platform - Oracle 11g 64bit on Windows Enterprise server 2008 64bit.  64 GB of ram with 2 CPUs totalling 24 cores
    Does any one know of a fast way to convert large amounts of points to a spatial object?  I need to convert 76 million lat/lon's to ESRI st_geometry or Oracle sdo_geometry.
    Currently, I have setup code using pipelined parallel functions and multiple jobs that run concurrently.  It still takes over 2.5 hours to process all of the points.
    Any pointers would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks
    John

    Hi,
    Where is the lat/lon data at the moment?  In an external text file or in an existing database table as number attributes?
    If they're in an external text file, then I'd probably use an external table to load them in as quickly as possible.
    If they're in an existing database table, then you can just update the sdo_geometry column using:
    update <table> set <geometry column> = sdo_geometry(2001, <your srid>, sdo_point_type(<lon column>, <lat column>, null), null, null)
    where <lon column> is not null
    and <lat column> is not null;
    That should run very quick for you.  If you want to avoid the overhead of creating redo, you could use "create table .... as select...".  This example of creating 1,000,000 points runs in 9 seconds for me.
    create table sample_points (geometry) nologging as
      (select sdo_geometry(2001, null,
      sdo_point_type(
      trunc(100000 * dbms_random.value()),
      trunc(100000 * dbms_random.value()),
      null), null, null)
      from dual connect by level <= 1000000);
    I have setup code using pipelined parallel functions and multiple jobs that run concurrently
    You shouldn't need to use pl/sql for this task.  If you find you do, then provide some sample code and we'll take a look.

  • Excel formula to calculate the distance between multiple points using lat/lon coordinates

    I'm currently drawing up a mock database schema with two tables: Booking and Waypoint.
    Booking stores the taxi booking information.
    Waypoint stores the pickup and drop off points during the journey, along with the lat lon position. Each sequence is a stop in the journey.
    How would I calculate the distance between the different stops in each journey (using the lat/lon data) in Excel?
    Is there a way to programmatically define this in Excel, i.e. so that a formula can be placed into the mileagecolumn
    (Booking table),
    lookup the matching sequence (via bookingId)
    for that journey in the Waypointtable
    and return a result?
    Example 1:
    A journey with 2 stops:
    1 1 1 MK4 4FL, 2, Levens Hall Drive, Westcroft, Milton Keynes 52.002529 -0.797623
    2 1 2 MK2 2RD, 55, Westfield Road, Bletchley, Milton Keynes 51.992571 -0.72753
    4.1 miles according to Google, entry made in mileage column
    in Booking table
    where id
    = 1
    Example 2:
    A journey with 3 stops:
    6 3 1 MK7 7DT, 2, Spearmint Close, Walnut Tree, Milton Keynes 52.017486 -0.690113
    7 3 2 MK18 1JL, H S B C, Market Hill, Buckingham 52.000674 -0.987062
    8 3 1 MK17 0FE, 1, Maids Close, Mursley, Milton Keynes 52.040622 -0.759417
    27.7 miles according to Google, entry made in mileage column
    in Booking table
    where id
    = 3
    I understand that 100% accuracy is not possible, so it will not be an issue.

  • Lat & lon in a JTable

    I need to be able to show lat and lon in columns of a table. We want to be able to edit the field in either deg:min:sec or float forms and render in deg:min:sec. Does anyone know of a widget for that, or some hints as to how to approach it?
    I have built a class to contain a value, along with constructors for the two forms of input, but am hung up on how to build a cell editor for it.
    Thanks for your help.

    I'd break it down into three steps
    1) write a java.text.Format class that can correctly parse/format values to some data value. You probably want a Longitude and Latatude class to server as the the value, or you might want a Longitude:Latitude pair.
    2) Write a cell renderer that takes an object of your value class and formats it appropriately for dispay, using the format you've written
    3) Write a cell editor that accepts strings of the proper format and parses them using your custom format.
    You can use either the java.text package, or the javax.swing.text package: the first leads to standard cell renderers/editors, and the second leads to JFormattedText (at least for editing). I'd try to stay with the first unless the user's absolutely had to have the colons preinserted (meaning that I then have to do the cursor tracking and document handling that JFormattedText gives you).

  • Looking for a Step by Step to place Aperture Library on External

    Can anyone direct me to step by step directions on how to export my Aperture library to an external hard drive? 
    I've seen rambling threads that touch on it of course but they refer to "Managed' or 'Referenced' and other terms that I am not sure how to check if my library are those. 
    I am on a iMac with only a 500 gig drive and my Aperture library is 100 Gigs of that drive!   I'd like to place it on an external for obvious reasons.  Crazy that Apple doesn't make this a WHOLE lot easier. 
    Thanks in advance for your input.

    Aperture is an extremely capable and powerful program.  It is not for beginners or for those who are not interested in learning how to use it.  Just my humble opinion.
    It is important that you understand the difference between Managed Masters and Referenced Masters.  Of course, you must know what a Master is.
    It is easy to tell which of which you have in your Library.  Aperture uses Badges to inform you.  (Badges are shown in the Metadata Overlays, as well as on the Metadata tab of the Inspector.  There are seven Metadata Overlays: you should customize each of them to meet your needs.)
    You can also filter Photos view using the Rule "File Status".  The selections there are straightforward.
    100 GB is a moderately large Library.  The recommended method of lessening the storage burden a large Library places on your system drive is to convert some or all of your Images' Masters from Managed to Referenced.  Aperture makes this easy to do.
    It is possible to run an Aperture Library from an external drive.  The faster the drive the better.  I have done this over FW400 with 5200 rpm drives, but the minimum I would recommend is FW800 with a 7200 rpm drive with a sizable cache.
    Putting the Library on an external drive is less desirable than putting just some or all of that Library's Images' Masters on an external drive and leaving the Library on your system drive.
    Moving the Library is simple and, in point of fact, couldn't be easier.  (You don't want to export your Library; you want to move it.)  With Aperture closed, select the Library in Finder (the extension is "aplibrary").  Move it where you want it to be.  Double-click it to launch Aperture and load the Library from its new location.  Now every time you launch Aperture, it will load that Library (as long as it is on-line).
    The User Manual is here.  It is an excellent resource.  I have highlighted in orange above some of the terms you will need to know.  I strongly suggest looking each of them up in the Manual (note the Glossary at the end of the Manual), and reading the first seven chapters which introduce the program and provide a worthy map for your self-teaching.

    i do not have Apeture, nor do i want it, how can i access iphoto ?

    When did this problem first occur? Directly after you upgraded to Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6?  Or after a crash?
    If this happened directly after the upgrade, look into the iPhoto library package, but do not change anything there - be very careful.
    A healthy iPhoto Library should look like this, when you ctrl-click it in the Finder and use the commend "Show Package Contents".
    First of all - does the iPhoto Library show the correct "fan of Pictures" icon?
    Is there an additional folder "Old Masters" in addition to your folder "Masters"?
    When you select the file "Info.plist", does the preview show correctly iPhoto Library 9.6?

    If it is not showing iPhoto but Aperture, try to trick iPhoto in opening the library by setting the File extension of the iPhoto Library to "photolibrary"
    But if you are seeing a folder "Old Masters" in your library, you are having a bad library corruption. Then look into that folder, if it contains any photos and post back.

  • Error creating a simple polygon with lat/lon

    Bruce,
    I was attempting solve a business/spatial problem the wrong way, based on limited experinece with Oracle spatial.
    I need to create a convex hull polygon from a splatering of points. (for sake of arguement, lets say the points are salesmans locations and there will be approx 2,000 salesmans locations. I need to create a convex hull of these 2000 points).
    My initial thought was to use the points as input to making a polygon. I was then going to use this polygon as input to making the convex hull. In order to make a valid polygon to feed into the generation of the convex hull, the points have to be in such an order so there are no crossing lines and the polygon closes itself, when creating a polygon.
    I have since been given the suggestion of using my ponits as input to making a linestring geometry, and then using this linestring geometry as input to creating a convex hull.
    Hope this explains my thought process. Thanks for your input.

  • Aperture 3 Places - does it include altitude

    My question(s): Does the geotagged information in Aperture 3 get placed into the metadate in the image file, and does this data include altitude?
    I've been using third party apps with the previous version of Aperture to geotag my photo's. I was quite happy that Aperture had decided to include a geotagging capability but when I examine the metadata in the metadata pane after geotagging in Aperture 3 the altitude information is not shown. I hope since I can see the data in the pane that it is saved in the file and why is altitude not inclluded. Help is appreciated.

    I do not have a GPS with my camera, instead I tried using the the new Aperture 3 feature found under the Metadata menu item titled "Assign Location" where I can use the Google Maps interface to identify where the picture was taken and then Aperture loads the lat, lon metadata fields based on this location. It appears from my initial experimenting that the altitude data is not being extracted from Google maps and inserted into the metadata.
    there are other Aperture add-ons that do the same thing but do pull altitude from Google maps.
    Hope that helps.

  • Aperture 2.1 is out today, with new open plugin architecture

    See press below. Sounds really great.
    08:30 28Mar08 PRN-Apple Releases Aperture 2.1 with Powerful Image Editing Plug-In Architecture
    CUPERTINO, Calif., March 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Apple(R) today
    released Aperture(TM) 2.1, which introduces an open plug-in architecture that
    makes it easy for photographers to use specialized third party imaging
    software right from within Aperture. Available today as a free software
    update, Aperture 2.1 includes the Apple-developed plug-in, Dodge & Burn, which
    adds brush-based tools for dodge (lighten), burn (darken), contrast,
    saturation, sharpen and blur. Over the coming months, third party software
    developers will deliver image editing plug-ins for localized editing, filters
    and effects, noise analysis and reduction, fisheye lens correction and more.
    "The image quality in Aperture 2 has won over the most demanding
    photographers," said Rob Schoeben, Apple's vice president of Applications
    Product Marketing. "Now, thanks to our open plug-in architecture, users can
    access an entire industry's worth of imaging expertise without ever leaving
    Aperture."
    "To date, maybe two percent of my photographs needed to be touched up
    outside Aperture," said John Stanmeyer, founding member of the VII Photo
    Agency and contributing photographer for Time and National Geographic
    magazines. "Now that I can dodge and burn right within Aperture's new plug-in,
    I can't imagine when I'll have to open any other application to tone my
    images."
    By clicking on one or more images within Aperture, users can choose from a
    menu of installed plug-ins and apply specialized imaging operations to either
    TIFF or RAW images. Apple is working closely with key developers to bring the
    most requested plug-ins to Aperture such as:
    -- Nik Software's Viveza plug-in, powered by U Point technology, which
    provides a powerful, precise and easy way for photographers to
    selectively control and adjust color and light in their digital images;
    -- PictureCode's Noise Ninja plug-in that delivers advanced high ISO noise
    analysis and reduction;
    -- Digital Film Tools' Power Stroke plug-in that features a simple,
    stroke-based interface to quickly mask and intuitively perform targeted
    adjustments;
    -- The Tiffen Company's Dfx plug-in that provides an expansive suite of
    creative filters and effects;
    -- dvGarage's dpMatte plug-in, which is a high performance chroma key tool
    for creating seamless composites, and the HDRtoner plug-in that enables
    the selection of multiple photos to create a single high dynamic range
    (HDR) image; and
    -- Image Trends' plug-ins that include Fisheye-Hemi to quickly and
    effortlessly correct fisheye lens distortion, ShineOff which
    automatically removes shine from faces and PearlyWhites that
    automatically whitens and brightens teeth.
    Pricing & Availability
    Aperture 2.1 is available immediately as a free software update to current
