Wow, it seems like a really great image browser; and it looks like it is user-friendly as well. Thanks for sharing this. I’ll try to download the trial version and see how it goes.

This is only the first time that I have heard about the Photo Mechanic as the more popular software is the Photoshop. Yet, I think it is a good thing to try. The writeup is also so detailed that it seems so easy to use.

@DiscerningPhotog – I agree with you. Photo Mechanic is best when used for image editing, sorting, renaming, captioning etc. It’s not intended for toning like Photoshop. I’ve been using Photo Mechanic for sorting and captioning, it works great!

Thanks for your comment Sarah. But please understand: Photo Mechanic is GREAT for image editing–sorting, choosing images, renaming, captioning and keywording, etc.–it’s not a TONING program, like Photoshop or Picassa. As far as overkill, it’s also cheaper than Lightroom (don’t know about Aperture) and runs fast on your computer.

Photo Mechanic is intended for workflow and not for editing your pictures. I have tried Aperture, Adobe Bridge, and Picasa, and as others have commented, none of them are as fast as Photo Mechanic for ingesting pictures, sorting through them, editing the metadata, and renaming the files. If your picture handling needs are modest, than as someone else pointed out, Photo Mechanic my be overkill and using Aperture, Lightroom, or Adobe Bridge may be sufficient.

I am not using image browser. I just edit photos using adobe photoshop because it’s user friendly.
