Where can I enter the geographical altitude?

[Egon]

Hello,

 

Where can I enter the geographical altitude.

Latitude and length is clear (drag to the map).

 

Thanks

Hi Egon,

the only chance I see at the moment is to use the ExifTool to write GPS Altitude metadata if not already existing.

 

https://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/GPS.html

E.g.: -EXIF:GPSAltitudeRef="Above Sea Level" -EXIF:GPSAltitude="10m" -overwrite_original

 

Then one has to call "read tags from file" to update the database and to see the Altitude in the Properties of the item.

Thanks Uwe,

 

do you have possibly a example command line?

Hi Egon,

I always use the ExifToolGUI to work with the ExifTool.

here is an example of a command to write EXIF and XMP metadata:

-EXIF:GPSAltitudeRef="Above Sea Level" -XMP-exif:GPSAltitudeRef="Above Sea Level" -EXIF:GPSAltitude="10m" -XMP-exif:GPSAltitude="10m"-overwrite_original

and a screenshot attached.

Regards, Uwe

You can also use copy-paste tags, but you need the first altitude for that. :smile:

Where can I enter the geographical altitude.

I use GeoSetter, which uses the ExifTool under the covers. It not only allows you to enter an arbitrary value, but also retrieves the altitude based on longitude/latitude. This can be done for a single image or for multiple (in the same folder) in a single step. After that, you should import the values into Daminion with Actions->Read Tags from File.

Besides that, I find it more convenient in GeoSetter to initially set (manually or by reading a GPS log) or change a position. It is also capable to retrieve the place (Country/State/City/Location) based on the longitude/latitude.

I suggest to used a current Beta version of GeoSetter, since the "official" version did not change since several years.

Hello everybody,

 

thanks for the proposals.

I've test GeoSetter and it runs.
