Photographers can also upload photos to various websites including Zenfolio, Amazon S3, PhotoShelter, Flickr, Twitter, SmugMug, and more. Photo Mechanic offers file sharing capability, which allows users to share images with internal and external stakeholders using an SMTP email server. Its batch editing functionality lets professionals tag, copy, delete, rename, resize, watermark, and add metadata to multiple photos. It offers a host of features such as custom web galleries, archiving, image comparison, GPS tagging, preview, filters, catalog management, and more. Photo Mechanic allows professionals to add metadata information such as credits, keywords, captions, and copyright to avoid unauthorized usage and view, rate, cull, ingest, and organize images stored on external storage devices. The platform enables businesses to import photos from memory cards and edit and export them in different formats. At the end of a sports season I’ll just trash everything outside of the selects file.Photo Mechanic is designed to help photographers and photo studios view, organize, and manage images on a unified portal.

#Photo mechanic review download
Unsere eingebauten Antivirenprogramme haben diesen Download durchgescannt und ihn als virenfrei eingestuft. Dieses kostenlose Programm wurde ursprünglich von Camera Bits, Inc. Any Smart Collections previously established will pull in photos as usual, and I can create whatever new creations I need. Photo Mechanic 6.0 kann gratis von unserem Software-Portal heruntergeladen werden. The DNG process reduces file size but preserves editing flexibility and neatly packages all the metadata and ACR edits rather than screwing around with sidecar XML’s. With this I only import the selects into LR and thus don’t clutter up the catalog. Writing to DNG at this stage is faster than at import as fewer files to deal with.ħ) Drag the Selects folder into Lightroom, apply pick flags to all (LR doesn’t recognize PM’s tags) and from there it’s business as usual. At this point I then have a) an edited selects folder, and b) everything else without duplicates. When they’re done I go back to PM and delete all the tagged NEF versions. The best way to learn about how much time Photo Mechanic will save is to try it. I’ll load a preset for all or do a group edit then quickly go through and fine tune individually.ĥ) With all of the images selected in ACR I then write them to DNG (with fast load data) in a new Selects sub-folder for that shoot. Photo Mechanic is used by photographers around the world to save time and hit crucial deadlines. I find ACR is faster than Lightroom so this offers further time saving. Again, very fast.Ĥ) With all tagged selected I select edit which brings me into ACR. I’ve abandoned rejects selection at this point.ģ) Isolate just the tagged files and refine metadata for each. What I’ve ended up doing is a multi-stage process…ġ) Use PM to import card to computer, writing custom metadata at the time including use of variables for auto captioning.Ģ) Rip through just like in your video, but I tag my picks and rank 5-stars separately for the favorites. And as you indicate in the video the metadata elements are well beyond LR as well and again contribute to the speed factor using Variables in the meta process lets you easily create captions and headings from other meta fields without duplicating work. I’ve recently adopted PM for youth sports photography because of the speed element. Here’s the link to the NAPP Member website but you’ll have to sign in to see the code. NAPP members get a discount on Photo Mechanic. But trust me, I talk to plenty of wedding, portrait, landscape and street photographers out there that need (or simply just want) to go through their photos extremely fast at times, and this is a great way to do that.
As I said in the video, if you watch this and think “But can’t Lightroom do all of that”, you’re absolutely right and using Photo Mechanic is probably not for you.
I still use Lightroom for just about everything else (organizing, collections, editing, printing etc…), but Photo Mechanic works great (for me at least) when I need to look through hundreds of photos and check sharpness, and overall quality of the photo, very quickly.

Mainly because it draws full size views of the photos blazingly fast. I realized that I (and many other photographers out there) use a program called Photo Mechanic to look through our photos at times.
It came as an idea after reading Scott Kelby’s post on his sports photography workflow. I’m doing a little bit of a different kind of video this time.
