![]() You can tag your photos, add colors and work in cooperation with Lightroom to keep consistency of the color coding you use in both applications. So after your ingestion you’ll have your files in a folder, a “contact sheet”. Photo Mechanis is much more “old fashioned” oriented but, thus, allows you to keep records of your photos with all the attached infos, without needing additional catalogs that may grow up to incredible file size and could be corrupted (not to talk about future proof) Contact Sheet (Library in Lightroom) And all these info you put GOES on the single files you’re working on, not on a “catalog” as in Lightroom. So, just here, if you compare to Lightroom 5, you have a lot of more possibilities. Apply set of keywords while you’re ingesting (IPTC Stationery Pad…).Renaming Photos on the base of your preferences (great use of the “Variables” and “Job” concepts here).Creating Folders automatically on the base of your preferences (I use ).Your Primary and secondary destination folders.From where you’re ingesting, MULTIPLE location at the same time!.When you use it you can specify a lot of interesting things. The first great part of Photo Mechanic is the Ingest Module. It has got may other interesting features so let’s try to dig a bit in detail and check how it works together with Iridient Developer. It has a great keyword management module and some possibilities that you don’t have in Lightroom, such as on-the-flight ingest to multiple hard drives or folders, live ingest and live slide show (great when you shoot and you wish to display while you’re shooting without tethering your camera). Camerabits Photo Mechanic is a software largely used by photography professionals and photojournalist that save, archive, keywording they files. If there is a good alternative for the RAW processing part, is there also a good alternative for the Library Management part? Previous tests on Iridient Developer ( version 2.3 just released) actually confirm that, especially with X-Trans sensors, you can get much better results out of your RAWs. So it’s a no brainer kind of buy.īut if you’re looking for the best image quality out of your RAW then, well, there is something more. Now, up to December 31st, you can have it with Photoshop for 10 USD a month if you, like me, have a licensed version of a Photoshop >CS3. Gives you a lot of possibilities, manages your library, develops your RAWs.
