![]() ![]() This is true of both versions of Photo Mechanic.Īnd I prefer a standalone DAM which just creates a catalog on top of the file system as tools come and go, and I don't want to have to migrate. I don't have this issue, and files can always be saved in a supported format. So if saving files in one of these formats is important, Photo Mechanic is not the tool to use. ![]() ![]() afphoto files, as Affinity does not publish file specs. Note that certain file formats are not supported, such as Affinity. I've only been using Photo Mechanic Plus for about a month now, having upgraded from regular Photo Mechanic. I could see a workflow where I create a catalog for each current photo project, containing all my files, originals and processed images, while still adding the files to my two archival catalogs (originals and derivatives as mentioned above) and once I have completed the project I could then delete the project specific catalog. But only saved images can added to catalogs. It is also possible to search across multiple catalogs to return a set of images which would include both the original and processed images, allowing comparison between them. You could have one catalog with both raw and edited files. Photo Mechanic Plus allows you to create multiple catalogs, and for my workflow I have two, one for my originals, including raw files, and one for derivatives, which has all of my saved edits. Photo Mechanic Plus, which was released in late 2020, adds the cataloging features. Photo Mechanic was until recently just a browser, and it is still available as just a browser. ![]() In fact, it would be nice to see histogram while culling but in Photo Supreme you can choose to see your photos with the option "show blown highlights", whick I think is very helpfull also.įor me you can't go wrong with Photo Supreme, as with DXO PL and Affinity Photo.Sorry it took so long to get back to you, life intervenes some times.Īs to your specific questions and comments: I uso Photo Supreme and I am so far happy with it. I am hoping to reduce the tools in the workflow. It looks interesting but it will be one more tool in the workflow. Inexpensive and on sale for the next few days, Should be in every photographer's tool kit You can rate photos in this app and your DAM should pick these up. It's the best tool for evaluating image quality as it is one of the few tools that allow you to view the raw histogram. It would be great if I don't have to use yet another tool like Photo Mechanic for that purpose.Ĭan't comment on the DAM but I would cull photos using FastRawViewer. I would like the ability to compare similar shots for the best one to keep and rest to delete. In addition, I would like to be able to cull the pictures as I download them from my camera in the same tool. I would like users of these two tools comment on them to help me with selection. I have spent quite a bit of time on forums and seems like Photo Supreme and iMatch are top two choices. Now I am looking for a DAM that is easy to learn, stable and not too expensive. I just bought DXO PL4 and Affinity Photo along with bunch of other software. ![]()
