Inpocket software photo cull

And this was with images shot with the RX 10 M4 and its 1-inch sensor! When I bought the new gear, even before I was ready to post-process the first images I realized that probably RAW Power would choke on a card full of images shot with a 61 mp camera, so did some research and decided to try Fast RAW Viewer, That has been working really well for me so far and does just what I need pretty quickly. It doesn't offer all the features and functions that Photo Mechanic does, but I don't really need a lot of bells and whistles, at least right now, so FRV is doing the job satisfactorily for me at this time and has definitely speeded up my post-processing time. #5 I use ACR for my culling and keywording needs. For wildlife, I often compare images at 100% to try to discern slight focus differences between images. No problem even with D850 46 mb images. #6 Thanks for the info everyone. Doesn't sound like it would be worth the $129 it still costs for my purposes. #7 Photo mechanics big selling points are its ability To cull images and lightning fast previews. This is exactly what I hear every Photo Mechanic user say. Fast culling and previews. They also use it for adding metadata before importing into their photo editing software. #8 I have it and use it for fast viewing and culling. I cull before going to C1. Then after converting to tiffs I cull again before final editing in PS. PM has other uses that make it worth its $129 but if you do't use those it is a question of how quickly you want to cull. #9 I use ACR for my culling and keywording needs. I think you meant Adobe Bridge, not Adobe Camera Raw. #10 I use it for selecting images I intend to use for focus stacking, HDR, and panoramic’s.Particularly with focus stacking, I can easily take one to two thousand images on an outing. Photo Mechanic allows me to quickly preview the images, select ones I

And other compositional errors.There’s nothing you can do to make an image with bad lighting look as good as an image with good lighting. You might improve it with editing software, but a well lit image is always a better option.One of the most common errors I see in photos is badly cropped images or skew images and sometimes in an attempt to straighten an image, part of person is cropped. Of course, you don’t have to include the full person, but there’s a wrong way and a right way to crop images in portrait photography.Another common error is not paying attention to the background of an image. If you have distracting elements in the background that can’t be fixed easily with cropping, you shouldn’t keep it.It’s better to avoid capturing duplicate images, because then you have to decide on which one to keep and if you’re anything like me you’ll go back and forth too many times trying to decide which photo to reject and which to keep.Duplicate imagesYou don’t need a whole bunch of photos of a particular pose. Unless your subject has a different expression, or you’ve taken the image from a different angle, keep only the best photo.Too many similar images dilutes the impact of a set of images from a photoshoot.Unflattering photosNobody wants to see an unflattering photo of themselves. So be ruthless and look at the images with a critical eye. Did you do your subject justice, or not? If there’s a chance they’re not going to like it, nobody needs to see it.How to cull your photosWhile you can get AI software, like Narrative Select, that’ll automatically cull certain images, like if someone is blinking, I’d recommend manually culling for portrait photography.For wedding photographers, using Photo Mechanic, or similar software programs, for an

#1 For several years I have read strong endorsements for this program but never seriously investigated it. It's on sale for $20 off through Monday, which isn't much, but that has brought it to my attention again.I use Mac computers and usually just use "Finder" to copy files from the camera card to the computer. I then use ViewNX 2 to review and cull them before processing with DxO PL.Based on your experience, in what ways would I find Photo Mechanic useful?Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge. Last edited: Nov 29, 2019 #2 Photo mechanics big selling points are its ability To cull images and lightning fast previews.I know a lot of sport photographers that use it because every second literally counts on getting the shot to the editors for social media/news stories.if that is not something you feel you need, it may not be worth it to you. #3 Good question. Folks say it is a lot faster....but I don't shoot large batches of images and have to process them for a VERY quick turn around. Being retired and not shooting that often, I just never saw the "need for speed"! LOL! #4 Some years ago I used Photo Mechanic and liked it but found that it really was too expensive for what I needed and so let it drop and didn't purchase new updates after a while.... Recently I purchased and have been using Fast Raw Viewer, which is great for quickly reviewing and culling images, all that I need it for, and so far I have been happy with that. Like you, I simply use Finder to copy files from the memory card reader to the computer and then after that have options open to me for reviewing and culling as well as editing. I shoot in RAW, like most of us do. For a while I was using RAW Power to review and cull images but even with an i9 processor and 32 GB RAM available in my current MBP, the software sometimes was getting bogged down when I had a full memory card --

Want to work on and drag them to the program I’m processing them with. When I save the processed/merged files, I then select the next set and so on. #11 I use Photo Mechanic, mainly because you can copy IPTC metadata into a batch of photos very quickly. I also use it to cull images and then edit them in ACR.On a side note, once your one year update license expires, your software still works perfectly fine. You only need to update the software license if there's been a change in OS compatibility and/or the camera manufacturer has tweaked how the raw data is being read. I've been using PM since the early 2000s! #12 ... in what ways would I find Photo Mechanic useful? Most likely not very many ways. PM appears to have been designed for high volume shooters on a deadline. Particularly those covering sport and other news events including the paparazzi.Your Finder/View NX process is perfect for a typical Nikon only shooting enthusiast on a Mac. If you have another camera in your mix or just want to have something else, then FRV is worth a look. It is not PM as @Clix Pix mentioned but is enough. I believe they also have a sale. #13 I use Mac computers and usually just use "Finder" to copy files from the camera card to the computer.

Are there things you want to do that you cannot because of your current tools? #14 I use it for selecting images I intend to use for focus stacking, HDR, and panoramic’s.Particularly with focus stacking, I can easily take one to two thousand images on an outing.

It uses the Windows file structure, I can create subdirectories and shift image there as I look through new offloads from the camera. You have access to the full capabilities of the File structure with (in my workflow) the ability to do a quick magnify or crop, move things to specific directories, etc.For example if I spend the morning shooting the wide variety of birds at a local pond I can set up subdirectories(folders) by
