Geotagging

Hello,

when I geotag my photos before importing them into a C1-session, the exif-data are used and written into the sidecar-files. That means, there are the geodata in the raw- and in the sidecar-file.
If I geotag my photos after importing I tried to geotag the raw-file, but I couldn't get the sidecar-file resynced. I deleted the sidecar-files, but sometimes the gps-data are shown, sometimes not.
It would be possible to write the gps-data into the sidecar-files, but this is not save, for example to use the original-picture in other apps like Aperture.
How can I geotag my pictures after importing in the right way?

Thanks, fiveyears

  Here is our Geotagging workflow suggestion;

  Although you may not find this workflow safe, we find the editing of a RAW file much more unsafe. As such we recommend you sync to an XMP sidecar file. All other industry standard Professional image software will honor these XMP files.

  Maybe, that is true.
  But what is the command to show the new metadata: "Reload metadata"?
  I always have to close and reopen the session - after this I can read them, but is this the exact way?

  With typical IPTC data the "Reload Metadata" action will work.
  However the GPS data is a bit different and restarting the software is necessary as outlined in the workflow that was provided; "Simply launch Capture One and see the values in the "Exif-GPS" field under the Metadata field."
