Photo Mechanic left me behind in the upgrade to v5 because they didn’t offer an upgrade - or perhaps it was that I was too slow to take it and it is too late now. Photo Mechanic is clearly a professional grade app for professional people, for people who work hard (and fast) with many photos and don't want anything to screw up. It compares shots for quick review and it allows me to make and rate my photos quickly. Excuse me? You are looking at a large folder of photos but it is not relevant that you find one you are looking for? Photo Mechanic does this and I just took it for granted this was common sense.Īnd, Photo Mechanic does much more. I recently asked at FRW why there is no search mechanism built in? They replied that they did not see it as a necessary feature. (disclaimer - I still don't shoot raw so all my comments are about DAM and reviewing photos and opening them in external apps). Images that are then edited when necessary in an external editor.īut that is where the difference ends. FRV is proving to be an excellent short term solution for what I need which is mostly DAM capacity to review and mark and exuded images. I used PM before v5 and I just got a license for FRV. It is fair to say that FastRawViewer is much cheaper and will do some of what Photo Mechanic can do.
