I'm trying to send photos/videos via email that includes geotag location details. the receiver of the photos/videos claims that when he saves them the goetag location is not available anymore. Any ideas how to do it?

Hi @Alesssandro_Soricelli64 

In the LR iOS app, long-press on the Share button to access Settings, and under More options, turn Location info = On.

Similarly, you can also use Export As.. and under More options, turn Location info = On.

Hi @Alesssandro_Soricelli64, Thank you for reaching out, and welcome to the community! 

 

I wasn’t able to reproduce the issue on my end, so I’d love to understand your workflow better to help troubleshoot. Could you walk me through the exact steps you’re taking—from exporting the photos with geotagging enabled to how you’re sharing them with the recipient?

 

Here are a few helpful details you could include:

  • Are you using a phone or a computer?
  • What program or app is the recipient using to open the email and view the photos?
  • What version of Lightroom and operating system are you using?
  • Is the geotagging option definitely turned on during export?

 

If possible, a screen recording of your process would be beneficial. You can upload it to a platform like Google Drive, WeTransfer, or any other file-sharing service and share the link here.

 

Thanks a lot!

Thank you Noel,

for your reply. Find here more details according to your questions:

- I'm using both. iPhone and a HP Desktop

- What tools the receipient is using is not clear to me, but when downloading the photos or videos from the LR link that I provided, she seems to lose the geotag details

- Im using LR Version 8.4 on Windows 11

- geo tagging is activated when exporting the fotos / videos

see attached the screenshot of the configuration when sharing the link

Do you need anything else?

Regards, Alessandro
