Adding GPS data without losing the changes

Hi all

I like geotagging my photos, I can't help thinking that at a later date my descendants will want to know WHERE they are when in particular took a picture

I usually get the info from a GPS receiver and apply it using GeoSetter (which depends of course to have the exact time in the camera and monitoring at intervals short enough, I use 5 seconds), but sometimes I don't have actual GPS data but rather use the onboard for geocoding.

Although I usually try get the geocoding at the beginning, I sometimes find do me later in the workflow. My problem (which could come from ignorance!) is the only way I know to get Lightroom to process information using "metadata-> reading metadata from file' - that clears any changes that I did before.

Am I missing something obvious or is this the only way to do it? If so, write metadata IN the file will overwrite real GPS info with whites or at least leaving only information?

Thanks in advance for any information...

Using the metadata record in file should not replace any existing metadata such as GPS data.

For files that have not already given to GPS, you can still use save metadata to file. He writes all the existing metadata that you have applied to the files as a sidecar XMP or directly in JPEG/TIFF/DNG. GeoSetter should have no problem adding geolocation to existing metadata information. Once you geotagged images is a simple matter of putting back into Lr using Meatdata file.

Try above with a couple of files to make sure that everything works as expected.

  • How to change a project imported 6 k to 2K without losing the changes online?

    The wonderful part of first CC is she took in all my 6K Dragon red raw files and set my high project like that. Which means the scale on all video footage is set to 100%.


    Now, I find I take this resolution and punch in for a close-up, but on a scale of 150%, the exported video will look grainy, of course.

    I know that I should probably have started my project preset to 2K. Then all my videos would fortunately too large to fit on the screen. They would need in the world to be adjusted to (I guess) scale of 25% or something. Subsequently, I could punch of up to 100% easily with no loss of clarity.

    So:

    1. Is there a way to move from a project of 6K for a 2K project without losing my changes online?
    2. And are there ways to globally change the scale to video media groups?

    Thank you in advance!

    Alan Fine

    1. modify the parameters by right-clicking on the sequence in the project window.

    Change the Format of custom edition

    You can now change the size of the image.

    2 make a clip, select other in the scenario: attributes of the dough. Or perhaps, in your case, put the size of the image.

    This will leave the image to its original settings.

  • Table validation - report errors without losing the changes made

    Hi all

    I'm experimenting with validation of table from Denes Kubicek example at http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:41. I had no problems to make this work,
    but I need to stop if data loss when the validation rules are not met.

    If I have 10 rows in my table and updates user 6 of the latter with the new valid values and 1 with a non valid value then the causes of the button send the error message to be displayed as expected, but the page / table returns to the data in the database and all changes are lost.

    How can I get the page to keep entered values when the page is refreshed?

    Thank you
    Martin

    Martin,

    You may need to replace the validation using JS. Equivalent to Dene JS for example

    Put this in the HTML Header page...

    
    
    Change the 'Submit' button target to URL and type javascript:f_validate(); as URL Target

  • You can re-edit original music to what was previously copyrighted music... without losing the changes made to the audio?

    If I'm working on a project... The customer have the music videos yet, so I used the versions 'Preview' momentarily. Now, I have the original songs without a watermark... I want a quick way to Exchange songs under copyright with those of watermark. (same songs, just a watermark)... Can I link them? Or will erase the work that I did the masters of audio (keyframe, changes in audio levels, legnth changed the song, audio transitions)? Thanks in advance. I have dozens of songs in question, that would be the reason why I have not tried to see if she would keep my changes or not.

    If you right-click on the track in the project Panel, select "Replace sequences" and then select the correct file that will replace the music but keep all changes (assuming that the tracks are identical in length and the start time).

  • Change PDF Acrobat without losing the field moves text

    My first post here.  I use Acrobat 6 Pro and have a handful of shapes, I created with text fields to fill out.  I wonder if there is a way when a minor modification must be made within the PDF, if there is a way to make this change in Illustrator without losing the capacity of field text.  After I have change the file in Illustrator and save it, I lose the text fields and have to reformat again them which can be very time consuming and I hope I'm just on a simple framework to avoid this process.  Thank you!

    It's been a while since I used 6 but generally what you would do (at least in all more recent versions) is that your changes to Illy, save as a new PDF (with a different name), open old PDF file and use Document > replace Pages to replace the old and the new. This will bring in your new pages, but leave intact the existing form fields.

  • APEX 5 - region to refresh IR without losing the focus on the region of origin

    I have several interactive reports that are on a page. When you select a line in the above report, it updates all other reports. It works very well. However, it changes the focus to the last report which has been refreshed. So basically done scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. I want to focus at the top of the page, but allow the user to scroll down to see additional information if they want to.

    Also, I added a selector to display area directly under the body of the report to allow the user to determine what Sub reports they see. When the user selects a specific report to display (instead of all) I see the following in the console error message:

    TypeError: that.element.find (...) [0] is undefined1 widget.interactiveReport.min.js:1:27035

    When I look in widget.interactiveReport.min.js:1:27035 to this place, I see that he wanders on the following:


    that. Element.Find (": focusable") [0] .focus ())

    I guess she's trying to set the focus to the last region that has been updated and it can't because this region is not currently displayed.

    The positive point is that it seems to be updated even if it is not displayed and the error is not obvious for the end users.

    However, I would really like to be able to update areas without losing the focus on my region of origin. Is this possible?

    Jennifer

    Hi Jen,

    Thanks for reporting this. I agree that it is a question that the update steals focus, where emphasis is already defined elsewhere on the page and filed bug #21214580 to do this, the fix for which we intend to include in the first set 5.0.1 patch.

    For your information, we also have a future feature filed to improve the way that interactive reports are currently managing the focus. Currently always set us the focus to the first focusable element in the report (and now in 5.0.1 with this fix is going to be a registered caveat not to do where emphasis is already defined elsewhere), but what would be better would be to focus, if possible, be restored where it was previously (for example search field buttons next / previous pagination) ), which is the plan for the future.

    When 5.0.1 comes out, you can remove your workaround solution as who will not be necessary.

    Kind regards

    Anthony.

    Hello

    You can install Linux without losing the warranty. Toshiba doesn't support Linux on this laptop, but you can install it of course.

    If you want to do a dual boot with Vista and that you are interested in a version of Ubuntu, you should take a look at the Wubi:
