From Environmental Imperialism To Cultural Imperialism
Abstract
Photo Supreme is "Digital Asset Management" software. Photo Supreme makes it possible to manage your image files by categorizing them. It will categorize the files based on the available details of the file, this includes technical photo details, but also the location of the file on disk, etc. Apart from those properties you can add tags to the images, enrich the files with descriptions, or add custom information. This may sound like a very time-consuming task, but once you have worked through that yourself, you will benefit from the many advantages. With Photo Supreme at hand, you will be able to quickly retrieve your images using all kinds of criteria or combinations.
GEO Tagging is the process of adding geographical metadata to your images. This includes the coordinates like latitude and longitude, but also altitude, and location details like City, Country etc. (geocoding). This manual will describe the GEO Tagging features of Photo Supreme. In Photo Supreme there is a dedicated panel devoted to GEO tagging individual images or groups of images. But there are also high-level GEO tagging options. For example, there are options to add GEO Tag information to a catalog label and then, simply by assigning the catalog label to your images, the corresponding GEO Tag information is pushed to these images. Some photographers do not use cameras with a GPS chip and don't use a GPS recorder. These photographers will add GEO details from scratch by either entering coordinates manually or selecting the coordinates from the map.
A second group of photographers use a camera that has a built-in GPS recording chip. These cameras can write GPS coordinates directly to the metadata of the recorded image file. Other cameras take this a step further and will even add (some) location details like city or country. Cameras with a GPS chip are very convenient for those who prefer GEO Tag information for their images. At most you will have to make slight adjustments to coordinates or other location details that the camera recorded for you.
A third group of photographers use cameras that do not record GPS coordinates and use a separate GPS recording device. Such a device offers features to record track-logs. A track-log is a series of recorded coordinates, written at a specific interval. For instance, you can let a GPS recording device record the coordinates every 30 seconds. Then every 30 seconds a new point is added to the track-log. Such a track-log can then be used afterwards to map the photos to the track-log. This is done by matching the photo's time stamp with the track-log times. Photo Supreme offers features to facilitate all three groups of photographers.
