One of our favorite tools is exiftool, which displays metadata for an input file, including: If you are taking them from a drone, it’s theoretically possible that the drone can add metadata that indicates the exact extent of the land seen in the image, but Lightroom would have no knowledge of this extra metadata.EXIF Data is metadata attached to photos which can include location, time, and device information.

I don’t know much about overlays in Google Earth, but unless you’re taking photos from a drone, I wouldn’t think they’d be appropriate for overlyaing. Photo locations in Lightroom are (intended to be) the location of the camera at the moment the shot was taken, and could be a long distance from what’s seen in the photo. Can you explain how your tool correctly positions the coordinates of the image from the metadata onto Google Earth? Also, do you know of a more precise way to overlay a georeferenced image onto Google Earth? Is there a difference between default coordinate systems? Thanks! Google supplies anchors to reposition and resize the image, but this seems totally against the point of importing a georeferenced image. However, when I use the image overlay tool in Google Earth Pro, the tiff file is not positioned correctly over the field. I noticed that when I open the “Map via embedded coordinates” link (I am using Google) that the pin is indeed positioned correctly over the area of interest (a vineyard). I am working with georeferenced images (RedEdge multi-spectral sensor).
