Photo Mechanic For Windows Editor's Review
To deal with digital images acquired from various sources, you may need to use various third party applications. These apps are not necessarily limited to image editing or adding special effects. Professional photographers also need to use top notch image management and organizing apps. If you need one such nifty and feature rich image management software, Photo Mechanic will fit the bill. The steep price tag may seem unsuitable for amateur users though. It stacks up comfortably against rivals like Adobe's Lightroom and Apple's Aperture. Support for RAW images enhances its appeal.
Photo Mechanic can be installed on PCs with Windows Vista and subsequent editions. Installation is standard and does not require much time.
Photo Mechanic features a sleek and functional UI. The menu offers access to most features while publishing and exporting options are also available through icons placed at top right part. The left panel is meant for browsing disk folder structure of the PC.
Photo Mechanic lets users make use of several keyboard shortcut combinations ad with these you can zoom, rotate or rate images. The app’s crop tool is nowhere as sophisticated as that of rivals like Lightroom. The app lets you add extensive information for all images. It also displays details of camera that was used to take a picture.
As you connect a device containing digital photo, it pops the "Ingest" dialog box. There is a slider to enlarge size of thumbnails as well. There is a search bar placed at right of the UI. At the bottom section of the app UI, you can find basic photo information along with rating and color coding features. One glitch is that the process does not let you import images selectively for import. Choosing subfolder within folders is however permitted. Photo Mechanic imports images fast including large sized RAW images. It can also import videos in MPEG-4, AVI and MOV formats.
Photo Mechanic features tethering which lets you import images from cameras directly. However, when you select tethering, using another app becomes necessary. With Lightroom and Aperture, this can be done directly within app UI.
Photo Mechanic can upload images to various photo hosting sites like Flickr. You can also create full-screen slideshows and also generate video file of those slideshows for sharing. However, you cannot add music track to the slideshow which is possible with many apps nowadays. While the app supports printing proofs and contact sheets, you do not get a print preview.
Positive Points:
• Quick import for batch of large images.
• Upload to online sharing sites.
• Slideshow creation.
• Sleek, functional UI.
Negative Points:
• Tethering needs another app.
• Not much editing tools.
• No option to add sound to slideshows.
Conclusion:
Photo Mechanic is targeted specifically at busy and professional photographers who need to work with loads of high resolution images and mange them efficiently. It runs stable and lets you manage and organize images remarkably well. However, the steep price tag will deter many amateur photographers. Besides, it loses out to more popular rivals like Adobe Lightroom in some aspects.
Rating: 2.5/5
