Comments on: A Better Center-Crosshair Target for Google Earth http://regex.info/blog/2009-06-02/1225 Not a photo blog. A personal blog with photos.

It could just as well be named “Speed Geoencode”. " Um... I hadn't... But since I had to encode about 70 more photos manually (but my tracker is fixed for the future) I gave it a shot. WOW... Speed indeed! I was looking at the reverse encode section only for filling in the location fields in bulk, I didn't expect to be able to encode photos individually without having to go back to the Library grid (I should probably read directions some time). This plugin as a whole is worthy of being it's own stand-alone program. That it is fully integrated into Lightroom is the icing and the cherry! “About speeding up, have you tried the new Reverse-Geocode tab? It could just as well be named “Speed Geoencode”. ”

It's really useful. When I want to send someone a screenshot from Google Earth, I always have to open it in an image editor and add a red circle. Thanks to you, not anymore. Thanks for that, Jeffrey.

I love being able to use Google Earth to do my geoencoding. The cool target and the fact that the information pulls the elevation too. WOW!

Now, if you could somehow get LR to recognize a keyboard shortcut to open your Geoencoding plugin (or even a shortcut letter to the Plugin Extras menu..) that would REALLY speed up short of embedding a GE window into the plugin and being able to select photos as you go ;) I just reloaded the firmware on the logger, hopefully I won't have to do that again (almost 100 photos *sigh*) <span class='jfriedl'>About speeding up, have you tried the new Reverse-Geocode tab?

About speeding up, have you tried the new Reverse-Geocode tab? It could just as well be named “Speed Geoencode”. —Jeffrey
