There is a great reason why I do this: When are you most excited to see your images? Right after you shot them….so why not CULL them when you’re excited to see them.
#PHOTO MECHANIC STUDENT DISCOUNT FULL#
Photo mechanic is EXTREMELY fast with rendering full screen raw images while importing so that I can CULL my images AS they come in. I have a system where I import my raw files to my first DROBO and I place them into a folder titled : “TJ and Meredith” and then a subfolder titled “TJ and Meredith UNEDITED”.
I like to cull WHILE I import and so this is why I started using Photo Mechanic for IMPORTING, CULLING and SORTING. Raw files are MASSIVE and LR just doesn’t process them quickly while importing. Well, what I wasn’t realizing was that those 10-15 seconds to render images in LR was eating up HOURS of time during my workday. Well, me being my stubborn self kept saying… “well, LR works just fine, besides, why would I want ANOTHER program to work with”. Sure, you only have to wait about 10-15 seconds for each image to load but 10-15 seconds ADDS UP! I had heard the Photo Mechanic was GREAT for culling and importing. I use Lightroom 4 and Bridge and Photoshop CS5… what more could I need, right? Well, if you’re shooting in Raw like I do, you have probably noticed that LR can take FOREVER to fully render a cr2 file while importing… making CULLING (selecting the BEST images) extremely difficult.
Because of the “look” of this program, I automatically wrote it off as something that wouldn’t help me. Whose logo looks like it was just copied and pasted form google images! No thank you.
