Question

Keeping location data after editing

I have a picture in Google Photos with location-data. However after editing the picture in Lightroom, and using share - upload To Google Photos, alle metadata is there except for the location. In the export settings I have checked the option to retain location data. It seems like a bug or am missing something?

Hi @Maxvector9, welcome to the Adobe Community!

Is the location data missing only in Google Photos, or do you notice the same issue in other apps like your phone's Gallery? Also, does this happen with just this picture, or have you seen it with other photos too?

Could you let me know your phone model and whether these pics were taken with your phone's camera or the Lightroom in-app camera? This info will really help me figure out what might be going on.
One workaround we can try is using the Export As option instead of Share, and check if the Location data is reflected correctly that way!

Thanks a bunch! -Alek

Hi,

 

The problem seems to only happen when the geodata was added to pictures taken with my camera before uploading to Google Photos. Pictures with location data from my phone do keep their location data after editing in Lightroom.
The workaround also doesn't work in this case.

 

Hopefully this helps figuring out the problem.

Kind regards,
Max

Woops I was accidentally logged in with another account. But this is still the same Max as the first message, fyi.
