Hi!

How can I sync/copy location metadata from one picture to others?

For example from a picture taken with a smartphone to pictures taken with a camera.

I want to copy the exact coordinates.

Thank you!

Romain

Correct answer Jim Wilde
  1. Are there plans to handle coordinates? If yes, when? If no, why?
  2. Why did you ask me which version I am using, knowing that no version allows it, and that it does not depend on the version?

1. I don't know. Nobody but Adobe will know, and they never announce what features may be coming.

 

2. Because there are TWO current Lightroom versions running on MacOS and Windows (which is what you tagged the first post with). One is the Lightroom Desktop app, part of the cloud ecosystem, which does not allow manual entry of GPS coordinates. The other is the more traditional Lightroom Classic, which DOES allow manual geo-tagging (in fact it has a dedicated mapping module). I just needed to be sure which version you were using.

Can you tell us which version of Lightroom you are using? Do Help>System Info and paste a screenshot of the first 10 lines into a reply (use the Image icon in the post reply box to insert the screenshot, do not post a download link as many users will not use such links).

Using the Lightroom cloud ecosystem, the ability to enter, copy and paste GPS coordinates is not currently possible. The location data (Location, City, State/Province, Country) can be manually entered (and copied and pasted), just not the GPS coordinates.
