Hello and thanks in advance :)

I have shot a monster tour and am hoping to use gps data for placement in Google. I used a Fuji X-T3 with Sigma 8mm Lens. I shot 5 images for each HDR with 4 images per pano north, east, south and west. All images were shot in .RAF file format which is the Raw setting for Fuji. I have checked and all the .RAF files have the GPS embedded in them.

Each set of 20 pics was imported into PTGui HDR merged stitched and then exported as a single TIFF or JPG. Only issue is there is no GPS data in the exported file.

Is there a way to retain the GPS data on export? Am I missing a setting.

Huge thanks for any help!!

Hi Jordan,

You are right. Most raw formats are based on TIFF and PTGui can read
metadata from them. Fuji RAF uses a different format and PTGui currently
PTGui cannot read metadata from these.

I've added this to the wish list.

Kind regards,

Thank you for adding it to the wish list!!

Is there a best way to add the gps coordinates to the meta data of the exported PTGui images?

Also thanks for your amazing software I have been using it for over 10 years now :)

Hi Jordan,

One way would be to convert your RAF images to TIFF and stitch those; I
assume a good raw converter will be able to keep the GPS data (and give
a somewhat better image quality as well).

Kind regards,
