Available for Microsoft’s Windows and for Apple’s Mac OS X, Photo Mechanic aims to make life a bit easier for those who have to work with large amounts of images. Developed by Portland-based Camera Bits, this is a user friendly photo browser and workflow accelerator. It does everything needed in Digital Assets Management workflow – this includes viewing, renaming, grouping, backing up, and exporting image files. Pro photographers agree that Photo Mechanic is a very fast tool for browsing and sorting image files.

The Windows installation file (an executable) is 28.5MB in size. Run the executable and you will be presented with the setup wizard that will help you get the application up and running. It is a fairly simple process that will not take much of your time. Please note that, to start using the application once the installation completes, you will have to provide a license code or you if you just want to try the application, you will have to get a demo code from its official website. After you provide the demo code, you have 21 days at your disposal to evaluate the application.

Photo Mechanic’s interface is divided into three panes: the Favorites pane to the left, the Navigation pane in the middle, and in the pane to the right there is the folder you chose to open as a contact sheet. This pane will show previews of whatever images are in said folder. At the top there are buttons for printing, uploading, and burning photos. In the upper left hand side there’s a traditional File Menu.

You will not have any problems getting accustomed to the functionality Photo Mechanic has to offer, especially if you’ve used a photo management tool in the past. Previews of your photos, as mentioned above, are presented in the pane to the right. Double click an image to see a larger preview, to access Photo Mechanic editing functions, and to see the image’s info. It must be added here that if you hover the mouse over a window, and click on the “i” when it shows up, you can access and edit the image’s info. Use Photo Mechanic to browse through your collection of images, edit them, rate them, edit their info, convert and change their resolution, and more.

Photo Mechanic is just an exceptional tool for managing a collection of images. A must have for professional photographers who want to get things done rapidly.

Pros

Photo Mechanic is available for Windows and Mac. The interface is user friendly and intuitive. Easily browse through your images, edit them, upload them. Photo Mechanic received numerous rave reviews from the media over time.

Cons

You have to get a demo code before you can start using the trial version.
