Preload photo libraries
Preloading photo libraries is required to take full benefit of photo library integration:
- Access to original metadata upon importing from iPhoto or Aperture
- Ability to tag masters/originals managed by iPhoto or Aperture
- Access to Lightroom preview images for export
Publishing operations (Google Earth, Flickr and locr) use images as modified by Aperture, iPhoto or Lightroom. When writing EXIF/XMP, you will be offered the option to write to the Aperture master / iPhoto original. Thus geotags will be carried along as you create new versions of the image.
Load iPhoto library
iPhoto library access is required to tag originals and allow iPhoto to see metadata added by HoudahGeo.
Load Aperture library
Aperture library access is required to tag masters and allow Aperture to see metadata added by HoudahGeo.
For HoudahGeo to access the Aperture library, iLife/iWork integration needs to be enabled in Aperture.
Load Lightroom library
Lightroom library access is required for HoudahGeo to use Lightroom preview images during export.
