We’ve listened to you, our loyal users, and refined and improved Photo Mechanic® to make it even better and to help you work faster, up to three times faster, in fact! The result is Photo Mechanic 6. Read on to see some of the new features:

New in Photo Mechanic 6

  • 64-Bit

    Photo Mechanic is now a 64-bit application, which allows more and better caching of images to keep you working at your fastest

  • Faster Viewing

    Image caching improvements increases thumbnail / preview generation speed by approximately 2-3x

  • Ingest from Selection

    Copy only the images you need from your memory card to your hard drive

  • Streamlined UI

    We’ve taken your feedback and improved the interface to make it more efficient, less distracting, and easier to use

  • Better Fullscreen

    Fullscreen support on macOS and Windows for both the Contact Sheet and Preview windows (including both at same time on different monitors)

  • Reverse Geocoding

    If your photos are geotagged, Photo Mechanic will use those GPS coordinates to insert the city, state, and country names into your metadata

  • Better Crop tool

    A new grid helps you crop to your best composition, then press ‘p’ to preview a crop quickly.

  • Better Slide Shows

    Now with multiple transitions including crossfade and add Tag, Color Class or Star Ratings during a Slide Show
