Obtaining the coordenates from a .CR2 Raw file

[evilaro]

Hi:

I got a program that Geotags my .CR2 RAWs
but it puts the coordinates on the .XMP
If I look at the exif it shows no coordinates at all

If the files are .JPG it puts them directelly in the JPG file

and with something like this I got the coordinates.
exiftool.exe -GPSposition "&DIR" > resultado2.CSV 

So in this format Exiftools also gets the coordenates of the .XMP

Is there a way to get the coordenates for the .CR2 but from its corresponding .xmp ?

Thanks

Emilio

The answer is "yes", but I'm not clear about the question.

To read information from XMP files, specify the directory and add -ext xmp to the exiftool command.

I am really glad I will have the solution


Okay:

This is what I obtain from a folder where there are 4 .CR2 and it corresponding .xmp
It does not indicate that the .CR2 has a coordinate.

Since the data of the .xmp corresponds to the .CR2, I just wondered if
there was a way that directelly pases this coordinates to the .CR2 file.
   

Well, if not I will program a bit more to do it.

Thanks

Hi Emilio,

To copy the GPS information from sidecar XMP files to the CR2, use this command:

exiftool -tagsfromfile %d%f.xmp -@ xmp2gps.args FILE

Where FILE is one or more file or directory names.  The "xmp2gps.args" file is included in the full ExifTool distribution package, and contains the following arguments:

Code Select Expand

-GPS:all < XMP-exif:all
-GPS:GPSLatitudeRef < Composite:GPSLatitudeRef
-GPS:GPSLongitudeRef < Composite:GPSLongitudeRef
-GPS:GPSDateStamp < XMP-exif:GPSDateTime
-GPS:GPSTimeStamp < XMP-exif:GPSDateTime

Hi Phil:


I feel this will do the job.

Thanks
