Photo Mechanic is a standalone application written for both PC and Mac operating systems and can be purchased through the Camera Bits website.Īs the "Upload to PhotoShelter" option is built directly into Photo Mechanic (versions 4.5.4 and up), there is no need to install a plugin in order to upload images from Photo Mechanic to PhotoShelter. I can usually find a single picture out of 300,000-400,000 pictures in less than 30 minutes.Photo Mechanic is a leading photo editing and image browsing application that thousands of photographers and picture editors use to edit, organize, caption, and transmit images.

#PHOTO MECHANIC 5 LIGHTROOM SOFTWARE#
Lastly, don't look to software to solve archival tracking issues.

With the cost of hard drives so low, multiple very large drives are the way to go, if you plan on having lots of pictures. They are not as stable as you might think, you end up fragmenting our image files into small junks of 4.2GB (unless you go blu-ray.and then it is small 50GB junks). In terms of archival-tracking, I would never ever ever use CD or DVD.

Over the years, I have had several drive failures, but have not lost any pictures to the best of my knowledge (knock on wood). Backups and archives are generated with SuperDuper. All images are available to me on a couple of RAID 5 drives and they are backed up and they are archived to an offsite drive. I am managing between 30,000-40,000 images per year with a combination of Aperture/Photoshop and my collection goes back to 2001. I was leaning towards Photo Mechanic, but I think I may give this IDimager a try-Oops! It's Windows-only!-I'm OS X (although I may switch to a Core i7, 64-bit Windows7 machine for its price/performance advantage). Of the applications listed above, the one I see used most often by photo editors is Photo Mechanic.

IDimager : haven't seen anyone using this, but it looks pretty good. It'll certainly be worth re-evaluating when v2.0 is released. Even in its current version, it has some interesting, and unique, DAM-related features. Unfortunately, it's apparently suffering from version 1.x-itis, and is reportedly very unstable in its current iteration.

It has a great keyword management module and some possibilities that you don’t have in Lightroom, such as on-the-flight ingest to multiple hard drives or folders.
