iPhoto 09 reputation reinstalled

Okay so before I speak again about anything I will do a depth analysis or investigation. I stated in the first review of the iPhoto that it does not convert the places to the GPS EXIF data. Well it doesn't or at least it doesn 't directly. Meaning that it will keep the location in the database but will not imprinted it in the picture. So in case that you want to export the pictures and sent them to a friend the location is not there. So if you select the images and drag them to the Desktop and open the image, then the exif info do not include location.

Well... Think again! There is this option and almost in every export option. So for example let 's take the case where you export the pictures. So select File>Export and select the first option.
You will see this screen. Select the JPEG option and there is there the option of saving the "location inormation". A nice feature is the image renaiming. You can either save them with the title or even better with a prefix and an increasing number.
In this option we have the sequential image with the name "IMAGE_". And the fun does not stop there either. In the preferences at the Web publishing tab there is an option there to include the location information for published photos.
So after all the iPhoto 09 has a great incorporation of the Places. It still an issue that after the first instalation the Photos are not imported with their location.
