Map Mode

No keyboard shortcut — is the working mode of the PhotoAdjust plugin [osm:applications/editors/josm/plugins/photoadjust/images/photoadjust.png osm]

The Photo Adjust Map Mode is to place images on the map. They can be moved and can get georeferenced.

Click and drag a photo in the Map View to move it.

Hold Shift and click to place the image currently shown in the Geotagged Images window at the mouse pointers position on the map.

Hold Ctrl and click on the map to set the direction the image currently shown in the Geotagged Images window.

If a Geotagged images layer is activated, then the functionality is limited to the photos on that layer.

Modes Of Operation

The functionality of the photo adjust plugin is available if a photo layer (Geotagged Images, geo image layer) is active or if the photo adjust map mode is active.

Photo Adjust Map Mode

The map mode works with all photos. It can be activated by selecting the map mode button. If the photo adjust map mode and a photo layer are active at the same time, then the photo layer has precedence, i.e. only the photos on the selected layer can be adjusted.

Edit Photo GPS Data

GPS related properties of the selected photo can be edited with the GPS data editor. Open the editor with Edit photo GPS data in the JOSM Edit menu.

Features of the GPS data editor:

• All changes are temporary.
• The position on the map reflects the current Coordinates.
• Undo discards all changed made in the dialog.
• Reload re-reads the GPS data from the image file.
• OK sets the values for the photo and closes the dialog. The values are not written to the image file.
• Cancel discards all changed made in the dialog and closes it.

Additional Photo Layer Menu Items

[[File:PhotoAdjust_geoimage_layer_menu.png|right|200px]] The plugin adds a menu item to photo layers. The menu item New layer for untagged images moves all photos without GPS coordinates to a new layer Untagged Images. This makes it easier to work only on the untagged photos.

Tips

Turn off "Center View"

[[File:GeotaggedImageViewer_CenterView.png|right|200px]] The plugin works best if the "Center View" option of the "Geotagged Images" viewer is turned off. If this is not done you may find it difficult to place the photos on the map with the desired level of precision as as soon as you place the photo the map will move to center over the new location, at which point your cursor is now somewhere else on the map, which causes the photo to move, which repeats the entire process.
