GeoSetter is a freeware tool for Windows for showing and changing geo data of image files (e.g. images taken by digital cameras). It is a very powerful and easy to use tool for adding all sorts of metadata to your digital images. It is the next step to the earlier Exifer program, also developed by Friedemann Schmidt.
Features Include:
- Reads and writes the formats JPEG and TIFF as well as camera RAW formats DNG (Adobe), CRW and CR2 (Canon), NEF (Nikon), MRW (Konica Minolta), PEF (Pentax), ORF (Olympus), ARW, SR2, SRF (Sony) and RAF (Fujifilm)
- Uses ExifTool from Phil Harvey for writing data
- Shows existing geo coordinates and tracks on embedded Google Maps map (requires internet connection)
- Setting geo data by using embedded Google Maps map (requires internet connection) or by entering known values for coordinates and altitude directly
- Automatic filling of location IPTC fields and altitude values (requires internet connection)
- Editable IPTC data (IPTC-NAA/XMP)
- Possibilty to change taken date of images
- Synchronization with track files (NMEA, GPX, PLT, Sony LOG and others)
- Synchronization with already geo tagged images with buddy images (e.g. between RAW images and their corresponding JPEG images)
- Localizable user interface - English, German, French, Italian, Swedish, Czech, Spanish, Danish, Dutch, Russian and Norwegian language is available at the moment
I have found GeoSetter to be one of the easiet and most reliable freeware programs out there for this sort of thing. Here is my quick and lazy bulleted review:
Strengths
- Images are easy to navigate.
- Editing geo data is simple and fast using the familiar Google Maps interface.
- Free.
- Still alive and being updated.
- Can add Flickr geo data tags.
- Allows saving of common GeoData locations.
Weaknesses
- Sometimes assigning the map position to an image fails.
- No batch processes for renaming or rotating.
- Saving the edited images is slow.
- Requires internet connection for some features.

I just discovered this fellow through a bookmark over at vi.sualize.us. Interesting and nonsensical watercolors that work well enough by themselves, but when you add the captions he comes up for them, you can’t help but chortle.
Artwork by Marc Johns.

From his profile:
Marc Johns creates whimsical drawings filled with dry wit and humour. Whether it’s a man with branches growing out of his head that need pruning, or a pipe that’s trying to quit smoking, his characters are simply, sparsely drawn, yet speak volumes with just a few strokes of the pen. He’s been drawing since he was tiny. He’s not tiny anymore, but he’s not exactly big either. Marc is not sure why he’s talking about himself in the third person…
I generally aim to say as much as possible with as few elements as possible. My work often leans toward humour. Finding the humour in things often leads to finding the truth.
I like to create absurd situations, by combining things together that don’t belong, or imagine what inanimate objects would say if they could speak. For instance, the pen I am using to write this draft would probably say: “I’m tired. Can we stop for a bit?” Or perhaps it would say: “I can’t believe you’re making me write this. This is rubbish. Signing cheques would be more inspiring than this.” These are the things I think about. I think about alot of things. I think about thinking. Don’t try it though, it’s not worth it.
I use watercolours in ways you shouldn’t. I make my own sketchbooks. If I smoked, I’d roll my own. I’d rather draw than rent a movie. Don’t try to start a conversation with me about recent films. I haven’t seen any. I play the guitar. If I was a hobo, I’d learn to play the ukulele, because you could fit one in your duffle bag. My artwork and the materials I use are quite compact. You could fit my studio in a large suitcase. I hope you like my drawings, or at least some of them.

The International Mission Board is a missionary agency affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Baptist group in the world. The 2008 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting was held June 10-11 in Indianapolis, IN.
My role in the project was to create the images that would appear on the 4 S/wall displays, 3 concave wall displays, 3 triangular bookcase-columns, and the central 4-sided tower. Additionaly, I created conceptual renderings of the exhibit to help arrange the elements and direct the traffic flow throw the booth.
