Luxembourg , Luxembourg - Houdah Software announces HoudahGeo 4.4. HoudahGeo is a one-stop photo geocoding and geotagging solution for Mac. HoudahGeo "pins" photos to locations where they were taken. Just like a GPS-enabled camera, HoudahGeo embeds latitude, longitude and altitude information within the image file. HoudahGeo writes industry standard EXIF, XMP and IPTC tags. HoudahGeo can load images from iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom as well as the new Apple Photos media library. Upon geotagging images, HoudahGeo can notify iPhoto and Aperture Places of the newly added metadata. It is however currently not possible to update location information stored in the Apple Photos media library. We recommend that you geotag your photos before importing them into the Photos library. Please refer to the “Houdah Software Tips & Tricks blog" for a detailed workflow. As a one-stop geocoding for the Mac, HoudahGeo caters to two very different needs: * Geotagging for archival purposes using EXIF, XMP and IPTC tags * Geocoding for publishing to Google Earth, Flickr or locr HoudahGeo can publish GPS tracks and photos to Google Earth: see your photos in context along the path you travelled.
