Web Sharing: Privacy Matters

When you export a photo from iPhoto—to share it on a personal Web site or your Flickr account, for example—iPhoto does not include the location information with the photo. That’s to protect your privacy: you might not want just anyone to know exactly where your kids play, for example.

But if you do want to include location information, it’s easy: choose iPhoto > Preferences, click Advanced, then check the box labeled Include location information for published photos.

Note: To have your geotagged photos show up on your Flickr map, you have another step to perform; see page 100.
