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)
• Possibility 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 easiest 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.

My fifth iteration of an online portfolio. I have moved back to HTML for this one. I wanted it to be quick to load and easy to navigate using the browsers forward and back buttons. I also wanted to allow visitors to bookmark individual parts of the site. View portfolio #5.

OK, now we are starting to get somewhere. This is the third iteration of my online portfolio, and it is finally getting easier to navigate and doesn’t look like a 5 year old vomited construction paper all over the place. Check it out, if you dare.
