Photo Mechanic 4.6.7 (Mac Os X)

Camera Bits Photo Mechanic is a photo "browser" designed with speed and ease of use in mind. You can call it a "photo editor" as well. But unlike other photo editing programs that are designed to work with one photo at a time in order to edit its pixels, Photo Mechanic is designed to work with groups of photos together in order to manage them. Professional photo editors who handle lots of photos daily, often under deadline, understand this distinction. Their job involves selecting photos, not selecting pixels.


Photo Mechanic takes the work out of workflow
Fast Sort — Photo Mechanic helps you quickly find your best shots. Custom sorting methods are available for your particular workflow. Multithreaded software works in the background to keep ahead of you, so images appear blazingly fast. You can view your originals full screen, compare similar shots side by side, delete the bad shots, tag photos while watching a slide show, and sort your keepers into multiple folders.

Fast Workflow — Work with batches of Photos to:

Import
Photo Mechanic's powerful Ingest utility lets you copy images from several flash cards simultaneously, flatten the directory structure, apply IPTC metadata (City, State, Photographer's name, Copyright, etc.), create a backup on a separate hard drive and rename your files — all in one step! The ability to open a Contact Sheet during ingest allows you to start editing your files immediately, no more having to wait until the copy process is complete.

Edit
You can quickly rotate, preview, copy, delete, tag, watermark, rename, resize, and add IPTC meta-data to photos both individually and in batches. Adjust capture dates and times, change a files resolution, or embed an ICC profile into your JPEGs. Lock previews and pan them around together to compare details efficiently. Manually arrange photos in an arbitrary order, including across multiple folders.

Annotate
Photo Mechanic makes it easy to add common "IPTC" (or meta-data) information (like city, state, keywords, and caption) to groups of photos at once. Reduce time and improve accuracy when captioning files by using the Code Replacement feature.
Output
Create web galleries, print contact sheets, transfer photos to an FTP server or upload them to an online service such as PhotoShelter. Send photos to your clients via email, or archive your keepers by burning them to CDs or DVDs.

Configure it your way - Put image meta-data to work to customize your results. Do you want to include shutter speed, aperture and caption information with your prints or web page (and sometimes the date and city, but never the time)? Rename files by photographer & state? Sort photos by city or date? Automatically convert the color profile for web photos so they look their best and stay small? Configure your own preferences or stay with the friendly defaults.

Version 4.6.7:

Updated the SmugMug uploader template to work with the latest changes to the SmugMug service.
Updated the DF Studio LINK uploader template to support new features.
The spacebar now opens the preview dialog, regardless of the selection, and shows the first thumbnail of the contact sheet (with no selection) or the first thumbnail of the selected group (one or more).
Image in IPTC Info dialog should now be sharp, even when PM is instructed not to make high quality thumbnails.
Fixed an issue with the use of {seqn} in Ingest and having the sequence number reset.
Fixed the reading of serial numbers larger than 2147483647 for certain Canon models.
Added support for external flash exposure compensation tag for certain Nikon cameras and speedlights. The external flash exposure compensation is now added to the camera body's flash exposure compensation for models with built-in flash (e.g. D700).
Improved support for case sensitive file systems.
Fixed an issue with the Classic IPTC Stationery Pad and using Today's date as the default, which would end up applying the Capture Time to the IPTC data instead of Today's date.
Fixed an issue where switching the IPTC Date/Time popup from Capture Time to Date would show a strange date. Now the IPTC record of the image is consulted for its current IPTC Date/Time value.
Fixed an issue with exporting preferences and the user had not yet used the Structured Keywords panel.
Fixed issues when entering several variables into the Keywords field, especially when using variables with substring extraction.
Preference for not modifying RAW files is now obeyed for Canon CR2 files when ingesting and copying.
