Importing EXIF/IPTC data from JPGs
Many digital cameras are embedding additional information such as geo location in the photos created by them. One common format for this meta data is EXIF. Another format for saving meta data is IPTC, it usually used for embedding keyword and description to JPGs files. The gallery perspective has ability to read and convert the following data into TagSpaces' tags:
- EXIF geo location - Takes the latitude and longitude and converts in geo-tags in Plus Code or MGRS format
- EXIF shooting date and time - Converts the date and time of the shooting as a date time tag
- IPTC keywords - Imports IPTC keywords as regular tags
