Remember, the code in this example does the job for NIKON. So you better feel comfortable using an editor and - more important - know somewhat how to use ExifTool in the first place. One needs to know what ExifTool should do and apply changes accordingly. In case disaster strikes, rebuilding an image catalog becomes less a pain.įor any other image formats, one must adapt the script and/or the command-line to your own gusto. With this script the annotated values for Longitude and Latitude are where they belong to - inside the image(s), hence valid backup candidates. This is not a 1:n copy, this script does it 1:1 for each image with its own various GPS coordinates (Lat/Long).
then calls ExifTool to write this data into the EXIF header of the currently selected file(s). reads tediousley gathered geodetic information, in this case only Latitude and Longitude I am convinced that all image data eventually and permanenty belongs into the image itself - and nowhere else.ĮxifTool has proven to be the master to help getting out of the disaster. As a fact GPS-Longitude and -Latitude are not written back into the catalog. Of properly importing its own exported XML-data. A great thing and the data is all there - except Expression Media2 missed out on the functionality To keep back-up copies of catalogs is not the solution as I rather have a properĮxpression Media2 offers to export the database into XML-format. The obvious question of 'How to move that GPS data to where it belongs to?' arised. As a fact GPS-Longitude and -Latitude are not written into a. NEF files and Expression Media does support writing all the annotated To my surprise there was no sign of geodata around. After synchronizing theĪnnotations to the image files, I went to see what's now inside that image file.
Then I became curious to know where that geodetic information really went. As simple as it can get, that's great - not new, but still great.įor hours a was happily geotagging a great bunch of images. With a map and drop them onto the exact location you want them to be. VB-Script to execute ExifTool in Expression Media2Įxpression Media2 from Microsoft offers a very convenient interface to 'Virtual Earth' from Bing for geotagging one or many images.
