Photos - metadata

[MatthewL]

I upload quite a bit of my photography to FlickR, typically I used to tag images on there which was time consuming so have started the process in Windows which also makes it easier to find said photos later but that is another story.

 

One thing I do it geotag my images on FlickR so they can be found in said area, does anyone have a way of doing this to the jpg so the data is on the file so I have but but also to save that one job when I upload it it will display where it is then?

 

I know I may have to get the details and add them in which is no different to now and the future plan would be to look at another camera with GPS built in, for me although the details are in the description/file name its another point incase that goes or I forget in the future.

 

Any recommendations as I have tried to edit in windows but no joy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotagged_photograph suggests ExifTool which has a variety of frontends.

 

For automatically doing it you'd want to sync with your phone's GPS. GPX is the standard logger format https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GPX https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Exchange_Format

So an update on this as I am finally getting up to date with things, I use ACDSee for photo editing, have done for years and it works, I happened to look at the latest version yesterday and I can geotag from within that now, so I can do all my edits etc in one place, plus it had some AI bits and bobs for editing which may be handy, cost me next to nothing to upgrade too which made it the easy choice. I can now edit, tag and geotag everything in one place.
