Adding location information

There are several ways to add information about the locations where your photos were taken.

After you tag your photos with location information, you can create an interactive slideshow and share it online. For more information, see Creating Share My Trip projects.

Viewing location information

After you assign a location to a photo, a location marker is displayed on the map in Map mode and added to the thumbnail of the tagged photo. Location information also appears in the Navigation and Info palettes.

In Map mode, you can view location information on an interactive map (center), the Navigation palette (left), and the Info palette (right).

Map mode is integrated with Google Maps, and it offers a variety of viewing options, such as zooming in and out, or using Google Street View. For more information about the available options, refer to the Google Maps Help.

Map mode offers all standard Google Maps features. You can 1) activate Street View by dragging the yellow pegman to the map, 2) zoom in or out by dragging the slider, 3) search for a location, and 4) choose a map view.

You can also sort photos by location, or delete location information from a photo.

Privacy Note: Sharing sites use different methods to disable location information — some sites delete the information, some sites hide the information (but it’s still there). You can use Corel PaintShop Pro to delete location information before you upload photos that may have home, school, or work locations that you don’t want to make public.

To switch to Map mode Back to Top

Manage workspace 

 

Click the Map or Satellite button in the upper-right corner of the Map area, and choose the options you want.
Drag the Zoom slider up or down. Higher zoom levels reveal greater map detail, as well as any additional location markers that may have been grouped together as a single marker at lower zoom levels.
Drag the yellow pegman to a location on the map. To exit Google Street View, click the Close button .

If the selected photos already contain location information, the map zoom level is adjusted to fit all existing location markers. If no photos are selected, the map displays all locations associated with the current folder.

If a single photo is selected, and the photo contains direction information, the map shows Google Street View by default.

For more information about the different modes of the Manage workspace, see Setting up the Manage workspace.

You can click a location marker on the map to display information about the photos tagged at that location.
