ORGANISING IMAGES BY LOCATION
5 We have a group of photos in this collection that we know
were taken around the swimming pool of the famous
Bondi Icebergs club that is clearly visible in the Map Module’s
satellite view. To tag these photos to this location, highlight
them in the filmstrip and then simply drag them onto the map
screen in the location.

You can see immediately that there is now a pin on the
map showing the number of shots that you tagged to
that location. The shots that you tagged in the filmstrip now
have the little sign icon that indicates that they have location
data attached; and in the metadata panel on the right, you
can now see that location data has been added.

At the top of the map screen you can see a row of filter
selections. The far left one is Visible On Map, which limits
the selection to just photos tagged within the currently viewed
area. When you click on this, you can see that the selection of
photos visible in the filmstrip changes to only show the photos
from the selected location.7 You can carry on like this, highlighting and dragging
photos onto the map, until you have successfully
geotagged your entire trip. To add more shots to an already
tagged location, simply drag the new shots onto the existing
flag. By the time you’ve finished your map should show every
place you visited on your journey.
10 If you now return to the Library module, you can see that
the photos from the tagged location are selected here as
well. The Metadata search filter shows the Map Location filter,
with Current Map Location as the criterion and the number
of selected photos. Using this feature you can quickly select
photos from any location.8 Once your photos are tagged, you can use the
geolocation data and the map to select photos by the
area in which they were taken. Let’s say that we only want to
see the photos that were taken around Sydney Harbour, near
the Opera House. Holding down the Alt key and dragging a
box around that area zooms in.http://www.bdmpublications.com 97
