I have a question about your photo workflow : could you explain us how you syncs up your GPS tracklog with the photos at step 2 ? Your answer will be appreciate ! PS : big thanks for your book "Expressions régulières" (in french) which is always in my library <span class='jfriedl'>Thanks for the kind words, Florent. I wrote my own software to compare image times with data points in my tracklog, which then uses <a href='http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/' rel="nofollow">exiftool</a> to inject each image's data into the image file. These days, there are plety of solutions out there for any OS, so I wouldn't build my own if I were starting today, but there wasn't much out there when I first did this, so I had to roll my own.... —Jeffrey</span> Hi,

Thanks for the kind words, Florent. I wrote my own software to compare image times with data points in my tracklog, which then uses exiftool to inject each image’s data into the image file. These days, there are plety of solutions out there for any OS, so I wouldn’t build my own if I were starting today, but there wasn’t much out there when I first did this, so I had to roll my own…. —Jeffrey

It has cut my editing time by 70%. I know it will look like this is an ad... but I didnt know how to e-mail you the info and assumed you will proof this before you post it. Anyway: Without saying too much, I have managed to create a keyboard specific to Lightroom users. It has cut my editing time by 70% because I no longer need to use my mouse to make changes to images because the keyboard controls most of the editing tools of Lightroom. I thought your blog readers might be interested in knowing about it. www.rpgkeys.com Cheers Tim Riley www.rileyphotographic.com www.rpgkeys.com I just found your lightroom workflow blog post and I might have something that will change your life & workflow.

Roaming about learning more about lightroom, I stumble for the second time this week on the regex site looking at your EXIF. Thanks for writing that book. I imagine you hear this frequently, but you should :-) I'll be back, I think I'll have plenty to learn from you here! I knew I recognized your name.

I took your advice and worked with my CSS on my new look and now it should center more effectively. Thanks for pointing it out! I am currently just uploading 1 version of each picture, sized to 1000px wide. I then have to upload it via the wordpress "write" screen, put it in the editor, then edit the properties to be 710 wide. This displays the photos on my blog at 710 but not without some crispy artifacts from the size-down. If I upload a 710 wide image, then I would have to manually link to another version which is larger... too much work, I'm looking for an easy way to post images that look good and still enlarge. Maybe it's just asking too much! I wish I could just upload a photo of any size (even starting large like 10 or 12 MP, or not, wouldn't matter as long as it was larger than my pre-set max size), and then have the blog resize it to a pre-set 710 version for the post view and a pre-set 1200 version for enlargement automatically. The huge version I uploaded would be discarded. I can dream... Thanks for this great post. I took your advice and worked with my CSS on my new look and now it should center more effectively.

It shows you put a lot into your blog, I appreciate it. I also enjoy learning more about the nitty-gritty of different blogging approaches. Thanks! Great post, as usual.

I assume you're using gpsPhoto.pl, exiftool, etc.? Even if they're not "ready" for public consumption I'd still love to see them. I also have a mishmash of scripts but it sounds like you've discovered some tricks I'd like to learn -- stripping thumbnails, batch renaming, etc. Thanks! -Peter Jeff, are your scripts available for download?

Dude, you are an excellent writer. You don’t post much, but when you do, your posts are well organized on an overall scale, and well-written on a sentence-by-sentence scale.

My only gripe about your writing is that it’s so infrequent. I know you don’t have time to write a big opus every time, but an occasional pic of your kids would be nice to those of us stuck 7,000 miles away. —Jeffrey
