Preserve Android meta-data

Just returned home from a wonderful vacation to Europe and got some
great photos on my Android LG- G6

On the device when I examine photo details I ma given a slew of info. In
addition to shutter speed and f-stop I get the exact date and time plus
exact street address, city and country.


When I copy the images to my Win10 PC using ...Photoshop CS-6... though
much of the meta-data is preserved for GPS location I get the latitude
and longitude but do not get the actual street address , city and
country is is present on the Android.

Anyone here know how to preserve all the camera's meta-data ?


thanks

How important is it for you to have actual street, city, and country as part
of the metadata?

Does your phone export the EXIF, GPS, and IPTC metadata, or have you got a
setting in the phone which strips specific location data in a privacy
setting?

Typically camera and exposure details are contained in the EXIF data. GPS,
GEOTags are recorded as latitude, longitude, altitude, and time of capture,
as GPS data seperate from the EXIF. The usual place to find, or enter
specific location information is in the IPTC data. You are going to have to
enter that manually either with PS CS6, Exiftool, or another metadata editor.
Since you have PS CS6, and probably Bridge CS6, you should be able to enter
that specific street address, city, and country data in the Info IPTC panel.
Using Bridge you should be able to apply that data to batches of image files
with the same location data.

I think that years from now I might find it very helpful.
Though certainly not essential, as long as the data are there, I'd like
to preserve it.

Will have to look into that, but it appears simply that Photoshop is not
picking up all there is.

I know I could do it manually but with 1000 images doing so would be
impractical.

it's there unless you delete it.

it picks it up, it's just not reverse geocoding what it finds.

I am assuming that you don’t use Lightroom, but with CS6 you should have
Bridge which might give you some of the tools you need.

Which specific Android camera data is not part of the transfer?

I really don’t know of any currently available GPS accessory, or logger
which will provide more specific GPS/GEOTag information other than the raw
Lat/Long/Alt/Time data. I use the Nikon GPS-1 with my D300S and my Fujifilm
cameras sync with the Fujifilm app on my iPhone via WiFi to tag the the image
files. The GPS tags on my phone do not provide info such as street and or
street number, or business name, city, or country, just where the tags are
positioned on a map such as found in the Lightroom Maps module.

It is worth noting that location information other than GPS data is recorded
or noted in the IPTC, and IPTC Extension metadata sectors. As of now I have
no idea how to ensure the full transfer of that data. So the last resort is
to make that entry manually.

Typically camera and exposure details are contained in the EXIF data. GPS,
GEOTags are recorded as latitude, longitude, altitude, and time of capture,
as GPS data seperate from the EXIF. The usual place to find, or enter
specific location information is in the IPTC data. You are going to have to
enter that manually either with PS CS6, Exiftool, or another metadata
editor.
Since you have PS CS6, and probably Bridge CS6, you should be able to enter
that specific street address, city, and country data in the Info IPTC panel.
Using Bridge you should be able to apply that data to batches of image files
with the same location data.

I know I could do it manually but with 1000 images doing so would be
impractical.

You might find that it isn’t necessary to make that particular data entry
for all of the images. Another thought would be to see if there is another
viewer which gives you access to all of the Android image data.

Few photos have the same location...

sure would like an easy way to do this

because the software you used on your computer didn't reverse geocode
the gps coordinates.

the address itself is not in the photos. only the gps coordinates.

all of it is preserved.

you just need different software, one that does a reverse geocode.

I'm responding so that Philo might just read what you have said.

Are you able to suggest what additional software he may need?

Why?
There is no need to act as a repeater. Philo is a regular here, and he is as
likely to have read nospam’s post as any of us.

He should be able to get by with what he has, PS CS6 + Bridge CS6, otherwise
there is always EXIFTool.

On 12th April Philo said (here)

Good news! :-)
