GPS info inserted afterwards

[wblink]

Hi,

I do use a GPS on my camera, but there are times I HAVE (or WANT) to take the picture before the GPS has initialized, so it won't write GPS info in the exif.

For that I use GeoSetter. A neat little program that does what I need: enter the GPS data afterwards with help of Google Maps.

So I can write the GPS info to the picture when it has been imported in LR. And that is my problem: I can see (through ExifPro (I can recommand that prgm!)) that the GPS info is in the Exif, but LR does not see it. I cannot click "reread metadata" because it is grayed out (Hello, "mr Gray", guess the video/movie ... .

The only thing I can do is delete the file from LR and then reïmport it.

Hints, tips, tricks?

First check in Geosetter what are the different settings for each file type and particularly the file type you use. Also, is it in Overwrite or Backup mode?

For photos already in Catalog, workflow should be Write Metadata in XMP from Lightroom, Update GPS info in Geosetter, Read metadata back in Lightroom.

This is Mac related, but the basic workflow principles are the same
