Dear All,

You may be interested to know that Microsoft has just released version 2.2 of its free Pro Photo Tools software.

According to the description on its website, "The Pro Photo Tools allow you to add, change, and delete common metadata properties for digital photographs. You can place photos on the Live Earth map and then drag them to the right location. The GPS information will be stored back into the photos. If you have a GPS device, you can load track route files from the most popular formats (NMEA, GPX, and KML) and see them on the map. Then you can place your photos on the track route. Again, the GPS info will be stored into your file. When you have the right GPS location for your photos, you can automatically generate location info like country, state, city and even street names. Or if you know the location where a picture was taken, you can type it in and get the GPS location information automatically."

The software can be downloaded via Microsoft's website at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Search.aspx?displaylang=en

As is usual with Microsoft downloads, the installation requires Windows Genuine Advantage validation (which takes a few moments). The Pro Photo Tools software also needs the Microsoft .NET Framework 3 software to provide the platform for it to run within. This can also be downloaded from the same Microsoft website address.

Hope this is useful. I would be interested to know users views on this software.
