Geotagging photos in Photo Mechanic

Ғылым және технология

How do you add geolocation information to your photos after they've been captured? This video will cover two methods using the Photo Mechanic software.
1 - Having recorded a GPS track with a smartphone app
2 - Manually without a GPS track

    Thanks John for creating and sharing this video. I haven't used geotagging before but this video gives me good reason for doing this. Keep well. Cheers, Keith

    Thanks Keith! It's one extra step, but can be very useful later on down the road.

    Two questions: (10 if a photo already has a geotag (as smartphone photos sometimes do), will that tag be replaced by the GPX information? I hope so. (2) Once the geotags are dropped into the EXIF header from the GPX file, is there a way to extract a table or list that shows the lat & long of each photo?

    1) Yes, for example if your camera has geotagging enabled, you can overwrite that with the GPX information. 2) Sounds like a great idea, I'm not aware of anything like that but there might be! I just prefer looking at it all on the map :)

    Great video but I have a question. I imported two gpx files separately and plotted them to two separate sets of photos (different days and locations). The first set I adjusted the offset by using auto but was off by hundreds. I manually adjusted the offset by -4 hours and got within two photos of the number selected. The second batch in order to get within two photos I had to adjust the offset by -4 hours and -40 minutes. All the photos were taken in the same state at the same time of year (Eastern DST) and the camera's time matched to the GPS app I was using on my phone. Is this normal? Why the big difference? I hope you can help me. Thanks!

    I'm not sure, I've never had that problem. I'm rarely importing two gpx files so I wouldn't have many opportunities to see these errors (which is why I rarely import more than one at a time!). But I have imported up to six at once without any problems. Wish I had a better answer!

    Since you took the sets of photos on different days, i wonder if your camera's clock was not closely synced with GPs time, and had a different offset for each day. If the camera battery died or was removed between sets, the camera clock might have had a different offset for each seat of photos.
