=== Adding photographs to dives
|
||||
|
||||
Many (if not most) divers take a camera with them and take photographs
|
||||
during a dive. To match each photograph with a specific
|
||||
dive, _Subsurface_ lets you load photos into a dive. Photos are superimposed
|
||||
on the dive profile, from where they can be viewed.
|
||||
Many (if not most) divers take photographs
|
||||
during a dive. _Subsurface_ allows the storage and display of photographs for each dive. Photos are
|
||||
superimposed on the dive profile at the times during the dive when they were taken. They can also be viewed
|
||||
from the dive profile.
|
||||
|
||||

dive or group of dives and choose the option _Load Images_:

This brings up the time synchronization dialog, shown below. The time
|
||||
synchronization is not perfect between the dive computer used during a dive,
|
||||
and the camera used during that same dive. These two devices
|
||||
often differ by several minutes. If _Subsurface_ can synchronize,
|
||||
then the exact times of photographs can be used to position photographs on
|
||||
often differ by several minutes. _Subsurface_ attempts to synchronize these two devices
|
||||
so that the exact times of photographs can be used to position photographs on
|
||||
the dive profile.
|
||||
|
||||
_Subsurface_ synchronizes in three ways:
|
||||
_Subsurface_ synchronizes camera with dive computer in three ways:
|
||||
|
||||
- *Pro-actively*: Before the dive, ensure synchronization of the dive computer time settings with
|
||||
the time settings of the camera by changing the date-time settings on one or both of these devices.
|
||||
- *Manually*: If you wrote down the exact camera time at the start of a dive, the
|
||||
difference in time between the two devices can be determined. As long as the device
|
||||
settings for time has not been changed in either device, you could write down the times of
|
||||
both devices after the dive or even at the end of the day. You can then manually set the time
|
||||
difference in the _Time shift_ dialog. Towards the top of the dialog is a time setting tool
|
||||
immediately under the heading _Shift times of image(s) by_, shown in figure *A* below.
|
||||
- *Manually*: Writing down the exact camera time at the start of a dive allows using the
|
||||
difference in time between the two devices. As long as the device
|
||||
settings for time has not been changed in either device, the times of
|
||||
both devices after the dive or even at the end of the day allows manually setting the time
|
||||
difference in the _Time shift_ dialog (see image below). Towards the top of the dialog is a time
|
||||
setting tool immediately under the heading _Shift times of image(s) by_, in the image below.
|
||||
If the camera time is 7 minutes later than that of the dive computer, set the time setting
|
||||
tool to a value of 00:07. Select either the _earlier_ or _later_ radio button.
|
||||
In the above example, the _earlier_ option is appropriate, since the photos need to be shifted
|
||||
tool to a value of 00:07 and select the _Earlier_ radio button.
|
||||
This is appropriate, since the photos need to be shifted
|
||||
7 minutes earlier (camera is 7 minutes ahead of dive computer). Ignore any "AM" or "PM" suffix
|
||||
in that tool. Click the _OK_ button and synchronization is done.

- *By photograph*: There is a very slick way of achieving synchronization, requiring a
|
||||
photograph of the face of the dive computer showing the time. _Subsurface_ gets
|
||||
the exact time the photograph was taken, using the metadata the camera stores within
|
||||
each photo. To do this, use the bottom half of the _Time shift_ dialog. If you use
|
||||
the bottom part, the top part of the dialog is ignored. Click on
|
||||
the horizontal bar called "_Select image of dive computer showing time_. This brings up
|

a file browser letting you select the photograph of the dive computer time. Select the
|

each photo and compares this with the time visible on the photo. To do this, use the

the horizontal bar called _Select image of dive computer showing time_. This brings up

a file browser for selecting the photograph of the dive computer time. Select the
|

photograph using the file browser and click on _OK_. This photograph of the dive computer
|
||||
appears in the bottom panel of the _Shift times_ dialog. Now _Subsurface_ knows exactly
|
||||
when the photograph has been taken. Now set the date-time dialog to the left of the photo
|
||||
when the photograph was taken. Now set the date-time dialog to the left of the photo
|
||||
so it reflects the date and time of the dive computer in the photo. When the
|
||||
date-time tool has been set, _Subsurface_ knows exactly what the time difference between
|
||||
camera and dive computer is, and it can synchronize.

==== Moving photographs among directories, hard disks or computers
|
||||
|
||||
After a photograph has been loaded into _Subsurface_ and associated with a specific dive, the directory
|
||||
where the photo lies is stored, letting _Subsurface_ find the photograph when the dive is
|
||||
opened again. If the photo or the whole photo collection is moved to another drive or to a different
|
||||
machine, the directory structure will be different to that of the original uploaded
|
||||
photo. When this happens, _Subsurface_ looks for the photos at their original location before they were moved,
|
||||
cannot find them and cannot display them. Because after moving photos, large numbers of photos
|
||||
may need to be deleted and re-imported from the new location, _Subsurface_ has a mechanism that eases the
|
||||
process of updating the directory information for each photo: automatic updates using fingerprints.
|
||||
After a photograph has been loaded into _Subsurface_ and associated with a specific dive,
|
||||
_Subsurface_ saves the directory path where the photo lies as well as the file name of the photo,
|
||||
in order to find it when the dive is opened again.
|
||||
If the photo or the whole photo collection is moved to another drive or to a different
|
||||
machine, the path to the photo changes. Now, _Subsurface_ looks for the photos at their original location before they were moved,
|
||||
cannot find them and cannot display them. Because, after moving photos, large numbers of photos
|
||||
may need to be deleted and re-imported from the new location, _Subsurface_ has a mechanism to ease this inconvenience: automatic updates using fingerprints.
|
||||
|
||||
When a photo is loaded into _Subsurface_, a fingerprint for the image is calculated and stored with the
|
||||
other reference information for that photo. After moving a photo collection (that has already been loaded
|
||||
into _Subsurface_) to a different directory, disk or computer, _Subsurface_ can:
