Would you like to geotag your photos that you shoot with your DSLR or point & shoot camera, even if the camera itself does not allow you to do so. Or do you shy away from geotagging because the manufacturers’ solutions are too pricey? There is an alternative, if you have an iPhone!
Simply install GeoTag from Salt & Pepper on your iPhone. When in the field shooting pictures, turn on GeoTag, so it records your GPS coordinates. Once back home, download your GeoTag information into the free Geotag desktop companion software and then merge them with your images inside the Geotag desktop. From there, you can import your images into Lightroom, Aperture, Photoshop, iPhoto or your favorite photo editor.
This does not only work for JPGs, but also a variety of RAW formats, including Canon’s CR2, Nikon’s NEF, Olympus’ and Panasonic’s RAW formats and with a variety of other image formats (TIF, PNG, others).
A flow-chart with more details can be found at Salt&Pepper’s Geotag website.
There are two downsides to this process:
First, Geotag Desktop is Mac only at this time. No luck for Windows folks who have iPhones.
Secondly, there is an extra step required to merge the geotags before you can import the images into your photo editing or management software. You cannot do it there directly. But then, given the low price of Geotag, it’s worth the extra step to many of us!
Price: $3.99 from iTunes.
