Sony a77 gps metadata

Does any one know how to import a sony a77 raw file that has GPS data into LR5, having problems with the GPS data not being pulled through... works a treat in iPhoto and Aperture...
Thanks.

It should. The NEX-5N is listed under the most recent update.
You may also find I useful to change the preferences once installed to embed the RAW file in the DNG file.

    Please read this: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
    You do not want to be in the Import section of Lightroom, you want to be in the Library Module. You don't want "Update Folder Location", you want to ctrl-click on a Folder name (not in Import, but in the Library Module Folder Panel) and select "Find Missing Folder"
    You do not want to re-import photos that have already been imported, this is almost always a bad thing to do.

  • 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
    <exifMetadata xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/meta/exif" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/meta/exif http://xmlns.oracle.com/ord/meta/exif" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

    In the oracle xml shemata specification exists a gps section but in my example there is no gps metadata

  • 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.

  • Sony A77 ARW files in LR 5.2 do not show...

    Hi there,
    some time ago I was "suddenly"troubled that my Sony A77 Arw files dit not show up in Lr 3 no more. I recently upgraded to 5.2 but same problem...
    On the same laptop they do show up in PSE 12 strangely enough.
    Maybe I overlook something but any help/suggestion is welcome as I am truly stuck. Thanks!

    Hi thanks for replying.
    I am using the most recent version of LR on a dell lattitute W7.
    I import the files and convert them directly into DNG.
    When in the library it shows meta details like in the screenshot below. But the actual immage is not shown. This counts for the ARW files but also Jpeg or Tiff files. As said before the image is shown in PSelements-12 and also in Sony sw itself(PMB) I am  afraid I overlook something simple but I cannot get my fingers behind it. Thanks for any help!

  • Sony A77 raw files

    Is there a download that will allow elements 8 to process my raw files from my Sony A77.   I spent a load on this new camera and prefer not to upgrade to
    Elements 10.  Have enough on my plate learning how to use the new camera.  Don't need to have to learn a new Elements too.

    You can download the free adobe dng converter 6.6 to convert your files into dng copies which should open in the pse 8 camera raw.
    Pse 8 can only be updated to 6.2 camera raw itself which doesn't support the Sony A77.

  • 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 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.

  • Sony A77 RAW file problems

    I just converted to LR from Aperture, and when importing pics into LR, they have a lot of noise and and aren't as crisp as they should be.  I'm shooting with a Sony A77 in RAW format, so I don't understand the issue with the noise and clarity, but I've heard there might be a conflict between the Sony RAW files and LR's data converters.  Any help with this will be appreciated.

    It’s all about what the Default settings are for Lightroom, which if you look is no luminance noise reduction and a linear contrast curve and neutral toning in the Basic area.  You can change the defaults to something else if you find a set of toning values that you always find yourself using.

  • Waveform IRE Level Over 100 on Sony A77 but not for Canon T2i

    Why does the Sony A77 have a white IRE level over 100 while the Canon T2i max out at 100? You can view this larger if you like so you can see the graph better, http://www.flickr.com/photos/davedugdale/6326846722/.
    On my Canon I have highlight tone priority turned off and Auto lighting optimizer turned off as well. Also on both camera I have them set to a neutral picture style and the lowest contrast setting.
    I am trying to do a test on which camera can hold the highlights better.
    As you can see I matched the skin tone levels on the left by changing the camera settings to match each other so I could see what would happen on the right side where I drew a tree that is heavily back lite.
    But it is hard to draw any conclusions when the Sony is "cheating" with higher IRE levels.
    I wonder if it has to do with the color space? I don't think so because both are using the sRGB color space.
    No transcoding was done to any of the clips dragged on to the timeline. Just "raw" files from the cameras.
    The Sony A77 creates AVCHD Video (.MTS) files while the Canon T2i creates MOV video (.MOV) files.
    What is interesting is if I use the same clips in Sony Vegas Pro 9, the Waveforms match at 110 IRE. Something wrong with Premiere?

  • Lightroom v2 won't read RAW files from Sony A77

    Hi there - just got a new Sony A77 but Lightroom v2 won't read RAW files when I try to import them.  I know I need to upgrade my version of LR (I will be going to v4) but... is there ANYTHING else I need to do or to upgrade in order to ensure Lightroom 4 will read those Sony RAW files?  Thanks!

    I don't keep track of what cameras are supported in what versions.  But, IF your camera is supported by the latest DNG converter, you could use it to create digital negative copies of your images.  Those DNG files can then be opened in the version that you have now.  You won't get anywhere near the development quality that you will get with Lightroom 4, but at least you can work on your images with what you have now.
    And if Lightroom 4 supports your camera, that is the only thing you can do to "ensure" that you can use your files.  Of course, if you modify them now with the version that you have, you can leave them with those adjustments when you upgrade to Lightroom 4, but if you want to use the new adjustments and the improved develop tools you'll probably have to basically start over on any images that you want to convert to the new PV 2012.

  • 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.
