Wayne.Paul Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I recently purchased PhotoPad. I noticed that when I checked edited file's Priorities Details tab the GPS field "longitude and latitude" data had been removed; however, the "altitude" information remained. Is there a setting, or a procedure what would avoid this happening? I use my photos in mapping software. Removing the data results in the inability to map edited photos. This problem doesn't happen in other photo editing software. What I'm trying to say is "Is there a way to keep the original photo's GPS Metadata on an edited picture?"

N_C_H_Kevin Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Hi, PhotoPad should be able to preserve EXIF metadata, I'm not sure why latitude and longitude aren't being preserved. What file format are you opening from PhotoPad, and what file format are you saving the edited photos as? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne.Paul Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 The pictures have been taken with an iPhone 5S and transferred to my PC as JPEG files. I open them with Photo Pad, crop and/or adjust the lighting and save as JPEG. The GPS field of the metadata of the original picture has three lines; longitude, latitude and altitude. I do a "save as" jpeg and modify the file name. The edited file only contains one line in the GPS field which is altitude. I should note that I am using a Dell laptop with a Windows 10 operating system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N_C_H_Kevin Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Thanks for providing this information, I found a sample photo taken from an iPhone 5S and was able to reproduce the problem. Looks like it's a bug with our software - will keep you posted when this gets fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N_C_H_Kevin Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hi, This bug has been fixed. The fix will be included in the next PhotoPad release, which should come out in the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
