More Snow Leopard Geotagging With Services: Google Earth

tmoore As mentioned before, I feel geotagging is an important part of image metadata. In a previous post, I showed a simple Applescript-based Snow Leopard service to set images to a commonly used location.
With a slight modification to the Applescript in the service, you can pull the location out of Google Earth and embed your photos. I was really excited when Picasa supposedly had this feature, but it's not mac compatible! Now, iPhoto can do the same thing.
Step 1. Set up the Automator Workflow as described in a previous post.
Step 2. Use the following Applescript
on run {input, parameters}
local myLongitude
local myLatitude
tell application "Google Earth"
set myView to GetViewInfo
set myLongitude to longitude of myView
set myLatitude to latitude of myView
end tell
tell application "iPhoto"
set mySelection to selection
repeat with myImage in mySelection
tell myImage
set longitude of myImage to myLongitude
set latitude of myImage to myLatitude
reverse geocode myImage
end tell
end repeat
end tell
return input
end run
