What is Photo Mechanic?

Plug in your memory cards and start picking winners and deleting rejects almost instantaneously. Move from image to image without that annoying rendering delay. Add dynamic caption, copyright, and keyword information individually or in batches. Upload images to online galleries or image services in a flash. And, so much more! Photo Mechanic is the ultimate file and metadata management tool.

Ingest is the process of copying files from a memory card to your hard drive. Photo Mechanic supercharges this step by automating other tasks at the same time, making your life much easier.

Start Editing Immediately Don't wait around. See the thumbnails of your images while they're being copied from your memory card. Cull, rate, and tag them as you go. Photo Mechanic is fast!

Browse Files Faster Go from image to image quickly - faster than ever before in Photo Mechanic 6. Find your keepers and bring only the files you want to keep into your post-processing workflow.

Multi-Card Ingest Save time by copying images off several memory cards at the same time when you have multiple card readers.

Add Metadata During Ingest Save a step by adding copyright and credit information during the copying process
