Photo Mechanic is a standalone image browser that lets you view your digital photos with convenience and speed. Photo Mechanic displays your "thumbnails" in a familiar "contact sheet" display window. Photo Mechanic helps you find the best photo amongst several similar shots in a preview display that lets you flip through a group of selected photos at high resolution.



Photo Mechanic’s super fast browsing enables you to quickly compare multiple images and select the best ones from a sequence. Its powerful batch processing, full support for image variables, IPTC and Exif meta-data, make it the perfect tool for any digital photographer.


What’s new in version 4.6.2.1
* Improved support for the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV model.
* Fixed problems with soft crops in RAW files not showing correctly, primarily with DNG files that have a cropped preview generated by DNG Converter and Nikon NEF files saved by Capture NX 2 with a rotation or crop applied.
* RAW files with existing Photo Mechanic end-of-file preferences will be updated as necessary regardless of setting to "Allow RAW (non-DNG) files to be modified" (so that the existing data doesn’t become "stale").
* Fixed a bug in the Save As dialog where the root save folder path wasn’t being saved and restored properly in the preferences.
* (Win) Tag/Rating/Color Class advance to next photo in Preview window now works properly and updates the info text and histogram.
* (Win) Fixed Arrangements issue when reusing Contact Sheet tabs.
* (Mac) Loupe tool now works for RAW files that contain no embedded JPEG preview as long as ImageIO supports them.
* (Mac) Fixed Tooltip "ghosting" issue.
