Lightroom works really well with GPS data

I have just tested one of the really compact clip-on GPS units that Reuben Wilcock makes for the D200 on my new Fuji S5 and it works a treat. This means that GPS location data is automatically written into the EXIF everytime you shoot a photo. The GPS unit is here
http://customidea.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=38&products_id=121
Once it was attached to the camera I shot a couple of photos in my backyeard and opened them in Lightroom and there in the EXIF data was the Longtitude and Latitude (plus altitude above sea level). I was really pleased to discover that in Lightroom you can click this data to jump to its locations in Google Maps - nice feature!

Yep, I picked up a di-GPS mini
for my D200 and am glad for that link in LR. As some of the blog comments note, being able to configure the GPS target app in future LR versions would be nice. Being able to highlight multiple images and have some link to see them all represented together on a map would also be nice. Basically, it would be nice if LR had a UI for GPS as nice as the photo sharing sites.

    Hi. I use Adobe Acrobat XI pro to make a PDF ebook embedded with audio. It works really well on my computer-I can read the book and hear the auto play mp3. The problem is, when I send it to my customers, they have difficulty hearing the audio. A few of them say they have Flash player on their PC and somehow they still can't hear, some say their Google Chrome browser tells them they've already got one flash player while they try to download one. For me, I had to download two versions of Flash player to be able to access to the audio. I don't know what the problem is, is it because it's the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro that people with older version of Adobe reader or flash player can't open it properly? Or is it something else? How can I make sure every customer with different system can access to my books? Hope to hear from you ASAP! Thank you very much.

    And how are the customers accessing the PDFs?
    What devices are they using?
    What program or apps with versions are they using?
    I this age of other then PDF eBooks formats and reader program and apss for computers and mobile devices for these formats I would look at creating the books in one or more of the eBook formats.
    Google Chrome and FireFox both have their own version of a PDF reader plug-in and they are well known to be less capable than Adobe Reader. It is possible to configure these products to use Adobe Reader.

  • My iMac wouldn't turn on. This has happened out of nowhere, it was working really well before.  checked my power cord and outlets everything's fine.  The iMac has no power at all. no sound or anything, completely dead.  It is only 1 year and 2 mos old.

    My iMac wouldn't turn on. This has happened out of nowhere, it was working really well before.  checked my power cord and outlets everything's fine.  The iMac has no power at all. no sound or anything, completely dead.  It is only 1 year and 2 mos old. Any idea what it could be?

    I have purposely been ignoring your responses to my posts about the heat issues in the newer design iMacs, but if you want really want to ague the point...
    First, the iMac is marketed as a desktop model Mac. Not a laptop or MacBook.
    I have never owned a MacBook, so I can't attest to how much heat the MacBooks generate.
    I Have two iMac models. A 2009, 27 inch screen iMac for myself. And a 2010, 21.5 inch screen iMac for my Fiancée.
    As a desktop Mac these are hottest running desktop Macs I have ever owned. Period. I owned two beige Macs, a pre-G3 tower, aG3 desktop, a G4 MDD Tower, the original iMac, eMac, iMac G4 and now my current iMacs.
    None of my previous Macs have ever, EVER ran this hot. I have never, also, had any component failures in any of the previous Macs I have owned, either. All of my Macs have been upgraded or modded to some degree over the years.  About 2 years ago I had to press my old G3 back into service. Both my G3 and G4 models have been heavily modded. The G3 ran without issue for a close friend for over a year until that friend went out a got a Mac Mini.
    That's a 1996-97 Mac my friend. And it still is in working order and hasn't had any failures.
    The fact I am pointing out here is that heat is an enemy to electronic components.
    Whether desktop iMac or MacBooks, tightly packed enclosures of heat generating computer components with fans that do not run fast enough at most times to cool off the interior or exterior, will and does slow roast computer components to premature failure.
    I do not know how frequent component failure is in the MacBook line up. So I can't attest to those.
    I do not participate in those forums.
    This is why at some point in computer history, Super Conputers were liquid cooled. PowerMac G5 systems were liquid cooled because they ran too hot!
    I have taken my own precautions to keep my iMacs' heat down as much as possible.
    I don't  have the money to keep buying a new Mac every 3-5 years when some catastrophic failure happens.
    I had to purchase my iMacs used as I couldn't afford the cost of a new iMac with the specs I needed.
    My idea, your idea and Apple's idea of acceptable operating temps we can argue all day long.
    I feel, personally, that the operating temps are too high and exacerbate operational issues.
    I Have been participating in these particular iMac forums for just over a year and have seen plenty of posts of iMac component failures due to both heat and dust, dirt issues from within the iMac.
    There can be no other reason for all of these failures. The SuperDrive is, usually, the first to go bad.
    It's probably due more to its vertical mounting, but the excessive interior heat isn't helping it.
    Next to fail is the GPU. The last to fail, but the most expensive to fix, the Logic Board.
    I Have seen plenty of posts in my last year here of all of these failures in iMac less than 5 years old and ,perhaps, a little older. 2008 model iMacs seem to have their issues, too!
    Apple is focusing too much on design and aesthetics, rather than longevity of their products, I feel now.
    A Mac isn't going to last 7- 10 years anymore.
    I don't have stats and numbers. Just common sense.
    This is my story and I am sticking to it. For what it's worth.

    Illustrator is a lot more pickier about fonts than those two. And Freefonts are known to get into trouble with Illustrator.
    From what I can see on Dafont the font isn't a bitmap font.
    Do you use font management? Try installing the font without font management.

  • A working YUI Calendar With Spry Data

    Hi,
    I've seen a number of posts about linking Spry data with the YUI calendar widget.
    Well I've done that here.  http://www.pwhitehurst.f2s.com/yui%20calendar.html. through a little perserverance and reading the Yahoo calendar API
    The calendar dates are highlighted based on the event dates in the SPRY data.  I haven't added any other functionality yet as  I'm just taking it one step at a time.  But this page should give others the base code for getting started.  The key is to declare a YAHOO namespace so you can reference the calendar in your spry region postload notifications or other spry functions etc.
    Any questions please reply and I'll see if I've worked it out.  I'm away over Easter but intend to add functionaility so that when you click a date on the calendar it filters the spry data via a non destructive filter etc. I also want the calendar to move to the right month as I click events.
    Cheers
    Phil

    Thanks,
    Unfortunatley my page hasn't gone live yet, so I can't show you what I mean, but I think I've found the problem.
    I've managed to config the YUI calendar to accept dates in DD/MM/YYYY format (using some of the localisation features described on the Yahoo developers pages: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/calendar/germany.html) so now my calendar will accept and properly shade any date passed to it in DD/MM/YYYY format (which is what my spry dataset is in) and it will also return any date selected from the calendar in DD/MM/YYYY format, as it should. So, all good on the calendar front...
    ...but spry is still operating in standard MM/DD/YYYY mode, so if I set my "start_date" and "end_date" columns as type = "date" (which I want to do for sorting purposes) it doesn't recognise any date after the 12th day of the month! (because it still thinks the DD segment is a MM segment and so has a maximum poss value of 12! doh!). So far I've got around this by defining both date columns as "strings", so the combining function you describe above (much appreciated btw :-)) passes the date string to the calendar exactly as entered, and because my calendar is set up to recognise this date string, theres no problem, and i can shade any date in the calendar (including the 13th to the 31st!)
    so the only problem i have now is being able to sort my dates. one solution seems to be to have 2 columns - one with the date in DD/MM/YYYY format which is used for display (as it is now) and another in american MM/DD/YYYY format which is used to sort, but this seems to me a bit of a waste of time, and theres always the possibility that one column will have an error in it, especially since I'm not used to working in the american format.
    sorry, a bit of a ramble there. I suppose my question is this: is there a simple step i'm missing where I can tell spry that my date columns are in a specific format? ie. dd/mm, not mm/dd?
    something like:
    var ds1 = new.Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet("myData.html", "table1", {sortOnLoad: "start_date", sortOrderOnLoad: "ascending"});
    ds1.setColumnType("start_date", "date", {format:dd/mm/yyyy});
    if not, there really should be!
    *any admins reading, mental note for the next release please...! :-)*
    I suppose i could give in and convert all my dates to the american system which would solve all the problems, but i never like being bullied by the Yanks!

  • How to export project(s) with GPS data

    I tried to export a project with GPS metadata but when I import that project (as a library) into my Aperture on my iMac, no GPS data...
    Am I missing something obvious??
    Adam

    Hello Adam,
    First of all - shift-L does NOT bring up the lift and stamp HUD on my Aperture 3...in fact, on the menu, it has no keyboard shortcut.
    That is surprising for me, perhaps in my list of questions I should also have asked for your OS and exact Aperture Version. I tried this with OS Lion 10.7.2 and Aperture 3.2.1.
    But you found how to bring forward the Lift&Stamp HUD, so that is not so important right now.
    It is really good to know that you see GPS data on your images. Those you should be able to export.
    I apply your smart album and it's rules, that image shows up...so if I see latitude/longitude data in the metadata tab, why does your smart album pull it out??
    Probably your GPS tags contain Latitude/Longitude allright, but not the GPS version.
    Remove the rule '"GPS Version" is empty' from the smart album, then you will see only those images that don't even have Latitude or Longitude. Hopefully that are not too many.
    I guess from my perspective, if I either assign a "place" for my pictures or import GPS info from my Garmin, shouldn't that put the right metadata in so that it could be exported properly?? If not, when I move these images to my iMac I will have to redo ALL my places...which doesn't make sense...
    Sorry if I'm not getting it...
    sorry, if I am not explaining properly...
    I have done some experiments right now with my current Aperture version 3.2.1 and surprise, surprise! Seems I have to eat my words.
    In this version 3.2.1 assigning a place to an image seems also to set the GPS EXIF data, not only the places name as IPICT. What a relieve!  I used to have to assign Places data over over again, because the places information would not be recognized by my other applications. So my advice to you is to upgrade to 3.2.1 if you have not done so.
    I suspect the GPS data you see without "GPS Version"-tags are those you created manually in Places, wheras any other GPS data with GPS Version Tag come from your imported Garmin tracks.
    I have to make further experiments with this new behaviour before I can feel confident to give advice, and I could use a helping hand here. Anyone?
    @Kirby Krieger: I see you have been looking in on this thread, could you please confirm if this new places behaviour is also true in SL, if you have time?
    Sofar I tested the following with several folders and it worked beautifully: Try it.
    Export the folder from Aperture as a Library:   File -> Export -> Project as a library
    Reimport it to Aperture on your other machine: File -> Import -> Library/Project
    Regards

  • Pictures with GPS-data will not be shown in list-view (PSE 11, Win7)

    A lot of pictures of my collection do have GPS-data in EXIF-header. Sometimes they are shown on the world-map, sometimes not. In list-view they are never shown. The list-view knows only locations, which are matched with PSE.
    The EXIF-input was made by two different tools (Holux GPS Software and Geosetter 3.4.16).
    How can I get the list-view for the saved files without using PSE adding location?

    Many modern cameras add GPS co-ordinates and these will usually show in the info panel of the Media module under Camera Data >> GPS
    I guess your exif tools work differently to a camera. Are you able to embed the metadata into the image files before importing into PSE Organizer?

  • Passbook: Works REALLY WELL

    iOS 6 Passbook App. Really works well and is pretty **** cool! I have only one account I can use with it at this time, my Walgreens Balance Rewards card. Got the card loaded into Passbook on my iPhone. Had to download the Walgreens app first, scan my plastic card, then add it to Passbook. Also chose my preferred store, which is the one two blocks away from me. After it was added to Passbook, I was able to delete the Walgreens app from my phone. Walked over to Walgreens and was thinking "is this gonna work"? Yeah, it worked. Really well. It's so accurate that it waited until I actually entered through the doors of the store and was about two or three feet into the store and then my phone suddenly lit up telling me my Rewards card was available for use in the store. I picked up an item off the self and went to the cashier to pay, slid to view my card in Passbook on my iPhone and the cashier scanned my rewards card off of my phone. Paid and out I went. So, no need to carry that plastic card in my wallet any more. Cashier said I was the first person to use the new Passbook app with their card in that store.

    Well it works great with Walgrens, but Fandango where it would be useful does nothing despite the touted linkage.
    Why can't any instructions and background be issed with new apps like this. It becomes a tease and hence annoying.

  • 9320 BBM and Email not working on wifi with valid data subscrition

    Hi!
    Please I need your help.
    My phone is a blackberry curve 9320. I have a valid data plan back home in my country that expires 7th July 2013. While abroad I intended to wifi for BBM. However, this has not been possible for though connected to wifi BBM and my email do not work. Other applications namely facebook and whatsapp work very well. I am also able to get on the internet. Please urgent help needed.

    I believe there is a problem at  RIM at the BIS data level I have reported it to my network operator and they tell me they are dealing with Blackberry with the issue. Suggest you report it to your operator as well the more report the problem hopefully the quicked it will get fied.

  • When will iCal and Mail on the Mac work as well with exchange as their IOS counterparts do on the iPad?

    To get mail to access my exchange email I have to use a private smtp server  as the passing in the settings for our actual exchnage server have never worked.  But that does at least work.  With iCal I have never been able to access my exchange calendar.  It accepts the login and appears to connect but the calendar can never be refreshed so is non-functional.
    Contrast that to my iPad where I just put in my email user and pwd (for the same account as above) and both mail and calendar are fully functional (or at least so far). This is appearently due to cal and mail on iPad using OWA for everything but fetching mail.  Why oh why is this approach not taken on the mac?

    John Galloway wrote:
    OK, I'll bite.  What are these "full desktop" facilities that you don't get on the iPad?  (I have been using email for as long as its been around pretty much, but just started using email/cal on the iPad).
    You're still missing the point.  The iPad uses the same code for the mail and calander apps as the iPhone.  So the code was already baked in when the iPad was released.  Thus "simple" to have the iPad connect to Exchange 2003.  Apple didn't start supporting Exchange the the OSX apps until after that and for whatever reason, decided to only go with the Exchange 2007 protocols.  Different programs and different capabilities.
    I have never seen the innards of OSX Mail or IOS Mail
    Not necessary to see the code for the apps specifically.  But if you've ever written any apps, particularly under a large bureaucratic environment where there are many cooks in the kitchen, you'd know what I meant when I said "...What you think can be "carried over" is a substantial rewrite to Mail and iCal.  I'm not saying it's not possible, just that it ain't as simple as you think...." 
    What Apple product is competing with exchange server for email?  Sure you can run an email service on OSX...
    You've just answered the question.  Apple does sell a email server product and they did have MobileMe, soon to be iCloud.  Exchange is a competing product.
    ...but there is pretty much 0 corporate presence of Apple servers (servers not clients) as far as I know.  And sure exchange 2003 is old hat, but what percentage of clients still connect to one?
    And you know that "zero" figure for sure?  Like you know for certain exactly how many (or little) Exchange 2003 servers are still in use?  I never said that there were NO Exchange 2003 servers in use.  (I have a client still on one, so I know for a fact that it is not zero.)  My point was that Apple made a decision whether to spend the time, $$$ nd effort to add in an additional feature to their existing Mail and iCal OSX apps, which uses a different protocol, to a competing product, that is not a new product and is more than one version out and that already has a specific EOL date from the manufacturer (April 2014.)  Again, I specifically state that it's not a technical reason that it can't be done.  But if you don't understand that it's more likely to be that someone saw the ROI wasn't there, then you likely will never understand.
    (You will, of course, want the last word.  Please go ahead.  I have already given you answers, regardless of your acceptance of their correctness.)

  • Dagi stylus review - works VERY WELL with S10-3t

    For those of you interested, I got my Dagi stylus today ordered via ebay for $12 shipped.
    It looks very nice, feels good in the hand and is lightweight.  The tip is thin and flexible and looks a bit fragile, but seems to be glued on pretty strong.
    I tested this with regular touch points, drawing and writing.  It worked great for each.  The dot in the center of the tip makes for a very accurate touch point.  I calibrated the system using it and it was a little tough because some of the points are on the VERY edge of the screen.  The 2s10-3t has a gap between the screen plastic and the actual screen and the stylus actually slides underneath to hit the points.  After calibration, this isn't an issue.
    So, it is way more accurate than the pogo and also less of a risk to scratch the screen.  It flows well so I can use cursive and fine for printing also.  I strongly recommend this to anyone looking for a stylus solution...it is so far the best I've seen.  This thing also works on the iPhone for those wanting dual-purpose.  I'll try to post a video of performance soon.
    Dave

    Hello,
    Your description sounds very similar to what I have.  Mine did come in a box with DAGi on it, via eBay.
    The shaft of the pen is light aluminum I think.  There is a section near the tip that is silver and to me feels like plastic.
    The tip is a small flexible circle about 1/2 the diameter of a penny...maybe a little bigger than a pencil eraser.  It is VERY flexible and appears to be attached to the silver part of the pen with glue.
    In the center of the plastic circle is a small red/orange dot.  This dot is the actual touch poing on the pen, nothing else.  I can tell you that I have NO trouble at all getting the pen to respond on my tablet.  I recommend keeping the entire surface in contact with the screen though to keep your movements consistent. 
    If you aren't getting any sensitivity at all, perhaps it is a fake, or even broken.  My feeling is that the main shaft of the pen being metal sends signal down thru the silver part and onto the dot.  I couldn't begin to understand the science of this however.  My friend also ordered one of these for his iPhone and his came in a box.  His is black, mine came in a redish/purple  color.
    I hope that helps you solve the mystery...

  • After upgrade to firefox 5 my webmail inbox has message stating,you have undefined mails in your inbox,but there seems to be no way to access these mails.Works perfectly well with internet explorer.

    system goes to talktalk website as normal,click on my mail,then on login,and up comes message you have undefined mails in your inbox.normally the message would say ,you have X No of new mails.No matter what I try I cannot gain access to my messages.If i use internet explorer i get my messages no problem

    I found my own solution to this one after many more hours of frustration. I found that there was a toolbar applet installed in Internet Explorer that started its own private JVM, and that JVM was being seen by the plugin code for 1.3.1_07. Apparently there was some conflict between what the plugin code expected and what that private JVM (not sure what version it was, the code had no mention of it) had to offer, which caused the crash dialog. Uninstalling the toolbar (and its parent application) solved the problem. I may do further testing to see if there are any plugin versions that do work with this particular applet.
    It is also still a mystery why this problem only cropped up after installing and uninstalling 1.4.x version of the plugin, but I didn't keep close track of the whole sequence so it may have been coincidental.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • My Safari suddenly stopped loading Facebook, Google and YouTube. Why? I downloaded Firefox and it's working really well! What's going on?

    Over the past two or three weeks, my Safari has bogged down. It will load most Web pages just fine, but YouTube, Google and Facebook just won't launch. I managed to use it to download Firefox and it's working great. Safari is still a no-go.

    Hi Jake ...
    Those three sites require the Flash plugin.
    Quit Safari.
    Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
    Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try one of those sites.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
    If uninstalling and reinstalling Flash didn't help, it could be a cookies issue.
    Back to the Safari menu bar again, click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
    Click Show Cookies. Then click Remove All > Done
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

  • Where should I put GPS data with each photo?

    Today I am starting to load images into Aperture - the beginning of an 18 month project filming in all 92 counties of Indiana. When I shoot, I write down the GPS location and need to keep it with all photos. It would not be a keyword, where would I store this info?
    Still trying to figure out how to apply the same keywords to a group of photos - I will figure it out soon.
    Mac Pro 2.66   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   XT 1900, 4GB RAM, 4 500GB HDs, Nikon D70

    indianamusic,
    This is what I suggest. Having worked with GPS data for a while it is certainly the best solution. I will give you a few reasons at the end of this post.
    1. Get GPSPhotolinker. It is free.
    2. Create a plain text file with the following information.
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <gpx
    version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd">
    <time>2004-09-23T23:45:44Z</time>
    <trk>
    <name>Location Name</name>
    <trkseg>
    <trkpt lat="54.602780" lon="-5.884941">
    <time>2004-07-29T21:27:14Z</time>
    </trkpt>
    </trkseg>
    </trk>
    </gpx>
    3. Repeat the following entry for each different location you have.
    <name>Location Name</name>
    <trkseg>
    <trkpt lat="54.602780" lon="-5.884941">
    <time>2004-07-29T21:27:14Z</time>
    </trkpt>
    </trkseg>
    4. Load a few photos into GPSPhotoLinker and use the manual option to embed the GPS data into your files.
    5. Import these into Aperture.
    So why do it this way?
    1. EXIF contains important information such as time; location is important, and by doing it this way you can embed the GPS (and thanks to GPSPhotoLinker State/Country names) automatically; when you import the photos into Aperture you won't actually have to enter the state etc.
    2. A file with EXIF data, when uploaded to Flickr, is automatically georeferenced and will display on the Flickr map.
    3. You can use an amazing script (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4550472#4550472) that Ian wrote to view your photos on google maps right from within Aperture. If you store the GPS info in a custom field, you certainly wouldn't be able to do this!
    Hope this helps, have a great trip and write again if you need more help!
