Fehlende GPS Daten beim Import von iOS

Ich habe Lightroom auf meinem iPad installiert. Wenn ich jetzt Fotos vom iPad importiere und per Adobe Cloud mit meinem Mac synchronisiere, dann sind in Lightroom Classic keine GPS Daten enthalten. Ist das ein Bug, ein fehlendes Feature oder mache ich etwas falsch?

A lot of Metadata doesn't translate from Lightroom Ecosystem back to Lightroom Classic. This may be one of them. You could always replace the files on the desktop with the originals from the iPad manually and do a Read Metadata from File from the Metadata menu.

Ok, but especially in the case of the GPS data that would be pretty stupid.
During my last vacation I tested this method and specifically the possibility of image editing on the iPad. And I found it very good what is now possible there. But if the positions are missing afterwards, then the whole way with it is obsolete.

Hmm, I sync my iPhone with my LR Classic via LR Mobile and LR Cloud, and the synced photos always come through with GPS coordinates attached.

 

Some troubleshooting steps to narrow down where things are going wrong:

 

1. Which precise version of LR Classic (do Help > System Info)?

 

2. Are you using the builtin Ios Camera app or the LR Mobile camera app?

 

3. Upload one of the problem photos from your LR catalog to Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar and post the sharing link here. We can put the file under the microscope to look at its metadata.

 

4. Airdrop one of the photos from the iPad to your Mac and share that photo here via Dropbox, etc.
