Rename the executable to exiftool.exe (actually, I made a copy of it). to c:\exiftool\exiftool(-k).exe.Ī short pathname for the exiftool directory (folder) is good, as you may want to navigate to this directory (folder) using the command tool, in which case it is better to have a short path name and no spaces in the path. Notes for the use of exiftool with batch filesĭownload exiftool e.g.

If you are inclined to use this approach and want a better editor than windows notepad, then I would recommend using notepad++. Geotagging is quick to achieve in ExifToolGUI, but could also be done with Picasa, PicasaWeb or Google+.ģ) Set up batch files to add the correct metadata using exiftool. This is the high-resolution map, which enables the same pin-point precision as geotagging in Picasa or on Google+.ġ) Resample the panorama to 2508x1254 pixels using GIMP (I use a batch-processing plug-in called DBP, otherwise I would use IrfanView).Ģ) Use ExifToolGUI to geotag the images and work out the facing direction, entering the facing direction into the batch file for step (3). Useful features include the ability to remove all metadata, to edit individual items using Exiftool direct and to geotag the image, by either importing GPS data or, what I have done, in program | preferences enable internet access for Google map. This useful little application enables me to view and change the metadata associated with my photos. If you are happy with command-line tools and writing batch files, this is the way forward - it is much quicker than using the Google tool and I have described this method in detail below.ģ) Edit the data manually in a GUI, such as ExifToolGUI. This app is probably the easiest and most reliable way to produce a photosphere from a regular equirectangular panorama.Ģ) Edit the metadata using exiftool.
I had no problems with a 2508x1254 pixel panorama, but it failed with a panorama over 9000x4500 pixels. The instructions are self-explanatory and the wizard works well with smaller images. I have used three methods to add metadata to my panoramas, which I capture using a panoramic tripod head and SLR, before stitching with Hugin.ġ) Use the Google app at.

I don't use an Android phone and I prefer my panoramas without parallax errors. If you have a Jelly Bean Android phone, you can shoot the panorama and the phone will add the metadata for you. Photospheres consist of an equirectangular panorama (which may or may not be 360x180 degrees) and metadata. Photos which are less than 2048 pixels on their longest edge do not use up the Google Drive data allowance. Storing these larger photospheres in PicasaWeb does use up some of my 5Gbyte storage allowance on PicasaWeb.

This photosphere is best viewed at full screen, to get the benefit of the higher resolution. Click on this link for a higher resolution photosphere shared on Google+ in this way. If you share the link to your photosphere directly from PicasaWeb, then it will not open in the Google+ photosphere viewer. You can obtain shortened addresses using the Google url shortener. Open the photosphere you want to view and copy the address from the address bar in the browser. Panoramic images stored in Google+ are currently limited to 2508x1254 pixels in size, but it is possible to view larger photospheres, by storing them in PicasaWeb and sharing them as links on Google+. They can be viewed either as flat images or in an interactive viewer. Photospheres can be identified by the photo-sphere icon in the top left corner. If you want some pictures of the sun, then Google photosphere, which is also the name for the outer part of the sun, which emits the light that we see. Click on this link for an album containing some of my photospheres from 2012. Photosphere is the Google+ term for an equirectangular panorama, with GPS coordinates and specific embedded orientation information.
