Question

Places attached to photos

Hello,

 

Is there a way to have Organizer 2021 identify automatically places attached to photos ? Like Google photo or Windows photo ?

 

Many thanks for your help,

 

Patrick

Hi,

Firstly, 'Show existing pins on the map' in Unpinned view should be checked.

 

Also, after you check this option, the pins would be visible on the map, but location name won't be displayed. To display it, click on 'Get Location Name' on the pin on the map.

 

Let me know if this solves your issue.

 

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

Yes I have done that and it shows some pins but by far not all of them. And for existing pins not all pictures are attached. It seems it has stopped the process of assigning names before the end. I don't know how to restart it.

Have you ever seen that ?

Best regards,

Hi,

It seems you added few screenshots which have not been pasted here properly? Can you try again?

You can also send them through a private message if you face any difficuly pasting them here.

Thanks!


Hi,

I saw your screenshot and it does not give me much clarity of your scenario. So there no pins in the map visible in Unpinned view, so that you can click 'Get Location Name'?

 

Are your sure, those images have GPS information?

 

If no, then you would have to manually tag them. Images appear grouped by date in Unpinned Places view where you can add a location to a particular group or drag the entire group to a pin on map.

You can change the size of the group by moving a slider at the top from Min to Max.

 

You can also send one or more sample image to me if you feel it has GPS information that is not detected by the Organizer. Would be happy to look into the issue.

 

Thanks!

Hi Patrick,

 

Elements Organizer 2021 comes with Mapbox integration to help you associate photos and videos with the places where they were taken so that searching and organizing becomes easy.

If the photos that you import have GPS information, Elements Organizer maintains the location information and automatically places the imported photos on the map in the correct location.

If the photos that you import don't have GPS information, you can associate the imported photos with places on the map by a simple drag-and-drop or by searching for the places.

You can also associate videos with places on the map by drag-and-drop or by searching for the place.

Use the Places view to view and organize media files based on the location information.

 

For more details, see: https://helpx.adobe.com/elements-organizer/user-guide.html/in/elements-organizer/using/adding-places.ug.html 

 

Thanks,

Akash

Hello Akash,

Thank you for the information.

Indeed, the Organizer seems to be in the process of assigning a place to photos, but only some of them (excluding some that have GPS information). Maybe it is just very slow on my PC.

Thanks again,

Patrick

Does the association between a picture and the place where it was taken (étiquette de lieux) has to be done manually ? Or can it be done automatically by Organizer 2021 using the GPS information ?

Many thanks,

Patrick
