GPS for Photo - Microsoft Pro Photo Tools 2

Posted in Internet, News, Photograph & Graphics  by Nina

September 22, Microsoft released a new version of Microsoft Pro Photo Tools 2. This version enables you to quickly geotag your photos, view and edit metadata, and more, leveraging the power of Windows and Microsoft Live Local.

Perhaps you are strange to Microsoft Pro Photo Tools, but you will be attracted deeply by its powerful GPS feature for photo.

Determine GPS coordinates from location name
You haven't always had a GPS receiver doesn't mean you can't assign GPS coordinates to your photos. In fact, using the power of Microsoft Live Local you can determine the GPS coordinates where any photo was taken based on location name information in the image metadata. The GPS coordinates can then be added to the metadata for your photos and the photos plotted on a map.

Identify location on a map
For the maximum in flexibility when assigning a location to an image, you can navigate to the precise location where you took a given photo and tag the photo with that location information based on a specific position on the map.

Although Microsoft Pro Photo Tools 2 is a low-key release, there is no doubt that it is a very interesting photo tool.

You can download Microsoft Pro Photo Tools 2 HERE.

Maybe you will cry the whole day for the disappearing of sweet memory. But now you can retrieve the lost memories with Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery, which is a secure, simple and fastest date recovery utility especially for retrieving photos.

Multiple Scan Modes

If you are not able to get the desired results, advanced search is the best choice for you. This method has greater chance to discover lost data. It scans each cluster of the logical drive and also scans the entire unused cluster for known file types. In case of formatted drive, previous file system can be selected for scanning.

Powerful Photo Recovery
Fast Scan Speed - I make a test for Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery and want to know how fast it is. The test partition’s total space is 45GB and 7GB used, I complete deleted lots of photos which used 900MB space. Then I used standard scan mode to search the deleted photos on the test partition. The entire scanning process only used 47 seconds and all the deleted photos were scanned completely. How fast it is!

Professional Recovery - Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery also give us the professional RAW File Recovery, which can Recover more than 300 file types in case of severe file system corruption. RAW File Recovery helps in case of severe damage. It has signatures of almost 300 file types. You can also add, edit and remove signatures which are added. With this feature you can recover different file types including MS-Office, Web, Images, Movie, Digital Camera and Application files. Especially the Enhanced Photo Recovery which can Recover RAW camera format files, it supports all major camera format file types such as NEF, CRW, CR2, ORF, SR2, K25, KDC, DCR, RAF, MRW, PEF, and X3F.

In addition, File Preview function let us view the file contents and get an overview about the recovery result, it is available for most of the graphics files such as GIF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF as well as office documents such as DOC, XLS, MDB, PPT, ZIP, TXT, HTML etc.

Highlight
Don’t worry about recovering large data, Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery gives us multiple recovery solution. You can freely choose the way to save data - save recovered data on local drive or on FTP server. If you don't mind the trouble, you can even save more data in less space using “create a zip file option”.
