LR 1.4.1 not reading GPS metadata

I recently geotagged a number of files (Nikon NEF) that I had previously imported into LR. I know I should have geotagged first, but oh well. Anyway, I tagged the photos in a separate directory (made a "working" directory for the tagging in case something went wrong) then copied the files back to the original directory, overwriting the untagged versions. I opened LR and did a "Synchronize folders" choosing only to sync metadata. In Library view, with the metadata pane set to "all" I still do not see GPS info. Any thoughts? This is my first try at geotagging, so I could easily have done something wrong.
Update: I did a test image (to which I had not made any changes) and chose "Read metadata from file" instead. The GPS info appeared. Of course, this poses a problem since that action on a larger scale will overwrite keywording, etc on the files. Definitely not an option.

OK Carl that makes more sense. The first question is did you update the images metadata from within LR before geotagging it outside of LR? If you do this then any geotagging you add to the file will only add to the metadata not delete any. It sounds very much as though you didn't update the file from within LR first. Now, having said that I'm not entirely sure how much is saved in the database and how much is saved in the metadata itself - I have a sneaky suspicion not everything and perhaps a quick visit to the FAQ's might help here or someone else will jump in.
A little OT I know but seeing as how you mentioned it. I am not a big fan of geotagging tracks from my unit (Garmin 60CSx) as I find the accuracy is dependent upon several variables e.g. how often the unit records a point and are the unit and cameras clocks exactly in sync. My preferred method is to set a Waypoint changing the default name to that of the image number. Back on the puter it's simply a case of marrying up the image number and the Waypoint number which is dead easy with my preferred geotagging application - RoboGeo.

Bridge CS6 not reading file metadata

Bridge CS6 5.0.2.4, Mac OS X 10.9.2, Photoshop 13.0.6 x64.
In Bridge, only the File Properties info appears. Data for other categories such as IPTC Core and Camera Data (Exif) no not appear although checked in Preferences, but after opening a file in Photoshop the info is all there in the File Info window. If I try to append or replace data using a template, the choice is grayed out. Keywords I have created in the past appear in the metadata window, but none are checked for saved files. Thumbnails are also very slow to build. Even reading old files from a CD in Bridge fails to show data like EXIF.
I've tried deleting and rebuilding the cache, trashing prefs, no help.
Maybe this is caused by a problem with OS X 10.9.2? I don't believe I had this problem before thatchange a few weeks ago.
Thanks for any help, Ross

For legacy files, which seem to be pre-2007, the metadata fields seem to be read-only, I can't enter or change a field such as description, for example. Even newer folders have spotty reliability, some files show metadata and others don't.
I restored my cache from a backup and that helped some, but didn't really solve the problem. Next I guess I'll try to restore my boot drive. The CS6 installation (not CC) was via a download, so I'm not sure how to reinstall that, and I don't want to lose all my customized windows, keywords, etc.

How can I filter to find photos NOT pinned to a map? I have 28,000 phots with many mapped and many not. The Search function does not include GPS data. I haven't found way to search metadata inside or out of Elements.

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:

Hi Andreas,
I've changed the permissions to 775 and changed the ownership of /sapcd (volume name) to orasid:dba (including all files within the staging area /sapcd/ora-patch).
So the permissions and ownership seems to be fine.
I've also ran your suggested commands but the issue still exists.
I'm now liasing with our UNIX guy to check if there is any underlying permission issues on the volume (sapcd) that may be causing this problem.
In the mean time, let me know if you have any further thoughts.
Thanks,
Chris

Lightroom is not reading my gps info

Lightroom 5 is not reading my gps info as it did in previous version. Can someone please help?

Hi,
I know this problem. There is some timestamp or gps data missing in your file (I can not exactly remember). Can you upload a image (or the gps part of exfitool dump)?

Aperture Not Displaying Altitude Metadata from Camera

My camera records GPS data including Lat, Long and Altitude. When I import my images into Aperture 3.5.1, the metadata shows the Lat and Long information but Altitude shows up as 0m.
I know for sure that my camera is recording the altitude information because when I use the OEM software supplied with the camera I can see the altitude data in the JPEG file.
It also appears that when I import photos into Aperture with GPS data it seems to strip the altitude metadata from the file.
I saw a similar question asked previously: Is this a bug in Aperture that it will not read/accept Altitude metadata from certain cameras?

Is the altitude stired in the EXIF tags?
When I import image files with EXIF tags for GPS, I will see in Aperture all tags, that are also visible in Preview. For example, in Preview:
And after importing into Aperture:
I have never seen Aperture stripping EXIF data from the original image files, only not displaying EXIF tags, that are camera specific. But the EXIF tag "Altitude" is always displayed correctly in my library, if it is set. I suspect, that your camera is using a different tag, so the camera software understands it. So, as a test, check, if Preview can show this tag.

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.

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 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.

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.

I feel like a sucker. I bought an iPAD2 at Fry's where I was told by the salesman that the non 3-G version does have GPS. It does not have GPS. Is there any way I can use the GPS on my Iphone or Garmin to display in my new mostly unuseable iPad2?

Is there anyway to input a live, real time video feed into an iPad2? I would like to use it as a remote monitor for a microscope camera in electrophysiology. Our camera was designed to run off of an older Mac via a firewire connection. The camera is SUPERB but the computers are dated. The older computers connected to an AC line are electrically noisy. I have worked out converting the signal from our camera to HDMI and/or USB2 but the iPad2 will not allow any input except via iTunes which is not real time, and requires several steps. Is it possible to use the only mostly useless iPad2 as the excellent portable DC driven display which it is?!!! How do I get Apple to say anything but IGNORE, IGNORE IGNORE. This would be a universal application in academics and all I think I need is permission from the iPad2. The original signal was designed for Apple hardware. They can have the patents. HELP?

XMP Files from MAC Not Reading On PC

My question is two-fold, so I apologize that this is long, but it will be best with the backstory:
I shoot Raw on a Canon 5DMIII and import my images into Lr5 on my PC as CR2 files. I am beginning to work with an editor for the post production of my images and upload my files to her via Dropbox. In effort to keep the files as small as possible (and upload/download times shorter), I export my images as DNGs. Specifically, I ensure the 'Use Lossy Compression' option is checked and the 'Embed Original Raw File' is unchecked. I then resize the image to 2000 pixels on the Long Edge and the overall file is under 1MB.
She then imports the DNG files into her iMac for editing also in Lr5. Prior to my exporting, I will edit a few images as sneak peeks for my clients, flag them as a 'pick' and code them as 'red'. When she imports my DNGs, she can see the 'red', but she cannot see the flagged images. Fine, this is something I can live without. She does her editing, also flagging them as a pick and coding them red. She then exports as the original file.
She then uses ExifTool, opens the terminal application and write in: "exiftool -xmp -b -w xmp -r", drags in the DNG files and exports the XMPs. She then sends the XMP files back to me, I place them into my folder with my original RAW files, tell my PC to 'replace' the XMP files that are already in the folder. Then in Lr5, I highlight all my files and select 'Read Metadata From File'.
Now, initially, nothing happens. I am unable to see any images flagged or coded red. However, I do see the 'attention' icon (I'm sure that is not the right name for it) on the upper right corner of the images she has edited when in the library module. If I click on it, it tells me that the MetaData has conflicting information and do I want the file or catalog to be primary. I click on the 'file' option and only then do I see her edits, including the 'red' coding (but not flagged as 'pick').
Part 1 Questions: Why when I am instructing it to 'Read the MetaData From File' is it not automatically picking up her edits? Am I doing something incorrectly when I put the XMPs back in the original folder with the RAW images and have the XMPs replace the originals? Is it normal for the 'pick' flags to not transfer?
Part 2 Questions: When she edits my images, she creates a virtual copy and creates one color and one b+w of each image for my clients. As such, she sends me back two XMP files for one image. How do I get these 2nd XMPs to map to the virtual copy within my library, as I am only creating the virtual copy of an image once I know it is one she selected for the final gallery. If I create a virtual copy of an image she edited after-the-fact, the b+w XMP cannot locate it.
Any guidance is appreciated! Thank you!

I never tried this, but I'm pretty sure that with DNG files, Lightroom will ignore xmp files, even when you instruct Lightroom to "Read Metadata from File". Lightroom expects all the metadata to be in the DNG file, not in the xmp file.
Pick flags, as far as I know, are never written to xmp file; nor are they written to DNG files.
If you're going to make this transfer procedure work, you need to do it by either (a) embedding the metadata in the DNG file and send those back and forth; or (b) use RAW and xmp and then sending the xmp files back and forth (plus I guess you have to transfer the original RAW once to your editor)

Hi,
All the yellow and red lights will have an effect on query performance or execution. Read up on them as there are too many to explain via this forum.
There is a document on SDN on query performance. Some useful links:
