For professional photographers who want to automate their workflow as much as possible in order to save time, energy and computing power, Photo Mechanic is equipped with the right tools for easily accessing and managing SD card photos even while they are being transferred, without the need for extra editing software or the operating system’s proprietary limited file browser.

Thanks to its distraction-free design, the application greets the user with a multi-tabbed, three-section layout, comprising of a tree-style Navigator, a Tasks list and a thumbnail view of the photos from the folder selected in the Navigator.

Photo Mechanic excels the most in its multitasking features, letting the users edit, view, delete, rate, tag and add metadata to images while they are being copied from one or multiple SD cards instead of waiting for the entire contents of the card to load.

While on the application’s homepage, hovering with the cursor over any of the images present in the thumbnail view generates a quick snapshot of the metadata, and holding the left click unto a picture can either select multiple files or zoom in by panning across a popup menu on the side of the image.

In terms of customization, the three sections of the layout can be resized according to the user’s preferences, and separate windows of the Ingest Tasks can be generated to suit the user’s own workflow.

When opening any image in the Preview menu, a window with editing options pops up, which allows the user to resize, rotate, crop, apply color management, edit with an external program and modify the metadata. The latter function lets the user alter details such as the image’s caption, headline, creator’s name and job title, source and copyright URL, along with precise coordinates for the location in which the photo was taken and the area depicted in the picture itself.

Moreover, photos can also be uploaded to FTP, Amazon, Dropbox, Flickr and Twitter servers once account credentials are entered, giving the user the possibility of automating an otherwise cumbersome task and even ensure that precise upload schedules are respected.

Thanks to its highly advanced multitasking and automation features in terms of handling and editing large batches of files, Photo Mechanic is an incredibly useful tool for camera users who use memory cards, online backups and social media on the regular.
