Summary0000447: GPS Tags not recognised in Photoshop Elements
DescriptionDear Sirs, I have used Geosetter to manually tag a bunch of images. This all seems to have worked fine and the correct positions show on the map when you click the image in Geosetter.

However

When you load the image up in Photoshop Elements and right click the image, the "show on map" option is not available.

Looking at it a bit further i notice that Geosetter adds the following tags:

GPS Version
GPS Latitude
GPS Longitude
GPS Time Stamp
GPS Satellites
GPS Map Datum

Whilst if you Geo tag an image using Photoshop Elements, it adds the following tags only:

GPS Latitude
GPS Longitude
TagsNo tags attached.

With which version of Elements are you working? I do not know why Elemnts doesn't recognize the coordinates. In my opinion all the fields written by GeoSetter are ok. Lightroom and Bridge doesn't have a problem with them. Then it seems to be a bug in Elements.

I have tried both version 6 and 8.

One thing to note, the GPS data shows in PSE as it does in Bridge but the PSE option to show in map is not available in PSE for photos tagged with Geosetter.

I have Bridge and again the GPS data is there but I see no option to view image on a map. Does Bridge actually have this option?

I don't know at the moment as I don't have installed it here. But Lightroom does show the option to show the image on map.

In my opinion writing only latitude and longitude is not ok. You said that Elements does it. As far as I know at least GPS Version and GPS Map Datum have to be written. If there are fields which Elements doesn't know, it's no reason to hide the map option.

Im not sure why either as it works the other way around. ie pictures geotagged by PSE show on the map in Geosetter.

I have both versions of PSE here with serials if you need to test.

GeoSetter is very modest regarding the coordinates, it needs only the coordinates.

Many thanks. But what do you think I have to test? I believe you that Elements doesn't show the option to show on map. In my opinion this is an issue for the support of Adobe.
