Hi,

I do have a difference between the GPS-data PM writes in RAW-Exifs and in XMP-Exifs: In RAW there are only degrees and minutes, but no seconds. In XMP there are degrees, minutes and seconds.
Maybe for that reason the gps-data are not read by other applications?
I attached my settings for IPTC/XMP and the GPS-Settings

Photo Mechanic does not currently write GPS data to the EXIF section of RAW files unless the GPS EXIF tags already exist. If the tags exist, then PM will update them with your new values. So it sounds like your RAW files have partial GPS EXIF tags, but not all of them (the seconds part).

How is it that your RAW files are getting GPS EXIF tags in them before they come to Photo Mechanic?

Hi Kirk,

Photomechanics does definitly write GPS data in the exif of the RAW:
I applied GPS data to a picture with no GPS data in it, that is the result in the RAWs exif:

I never said that PM doesn't write GPS data to EXIF in all cases. If the EXIF GPS tags do not exist in the RAW file, PM won't create them. If they exist already, PM will update them.

So the question is: where did your RAW file get GPS data put into its EXIF data originally?

Hi,

There were NO gps-data in the exifs of the RAW-file as yuo can see here before I applied gps-data:

What program is producing this data?

Hi Wolfgang,

Photo Mechanic right now only puts GPS data into the XMP/Exif data for RAW files (unless the GPS TIFF tags are already present). The utility you are using (what is it?) is showing your the Exif data that is stored in XMP. This is different from the traditional (TIFF-based) Exif data that a camera such as a Nikon DSLR with attached GPS would store.

As in your example, the XMP has:

<exif:GPSLatitude>47,20.020N</exif:GPSLatitude>
<exif:GPSLongitude>9,36.338E</exif:GPSLongitude>

The format for GPS in XMP is dd°mm.mmm' so the seconds is not needed because the minutes has a fractional value.

Apparently the utility you are using to dump this information is only reading the whole part of the minutes (e.g. longitude of 36 instead of 36.338 which is equivalent to 36 minutes and 20.3 seconds.

You need to update or get a fix for your utility to properly read XMP GPS data.

Hi,
Hm, meanwhile I recognized myself, that these are no RAW-exifs. I got these data read by graphicconverter, this app makes a difference in its listing between "exif" and "exiftool", and as I'm no "professional", I mixed it up.

But nevertheless, the only application I used in this case for setting GPS was PM. And these data are not readable by other applications.

Right. Not all applications look for GPS data in XMP. But more and more of them will as time goes on.

Hi Kirk (and Dennis)

Thanks for your patience on answering my questions. I appreciate that.
So far the "exif-question" itself is answered, but where do these truncated gps-data without the seconds come from?
And: how can I read out the exif-data of the RAW-file on a mac?

Edit:
I use exiftool in the terminal now

It seems that Graphicconverter shows the gps-data truncated in its "exif"-tab, when gps-data are written by PM.
