Editing your photos can be a lot of work. Photo Mechanic makes the process of selecting, organizing and adding metadata to your images so much easier. Here are some of the key features that help you get things done more quickly and accurately.

Contact Sheet
The Contact Sheet is the heart of your workflow. See your image thumbnails, edit and organize quickly and efficiently. Photo Mechanic puts you in control.

View Photos At Full Size
Zoom up to 800% to check for critical sharpness. Quickly toggle between viewing the JPEG preview or the Raw file.

Keywords
Sometimes you need more than one keyword to describe (and find) an image. Photo Mechanic helps you add keywords in many ways. Structured Keyword lists allow you to add related keywords fast.

Variables
Automatically add EXIF camera data to your images like focal length, serial number, or ISO to metadata fields like captions or keywords.

Batch Editing
Work faster when you copy, delete, tag, watermark, rename, resize, and add IPTC metadata to lots of photos at once.

Move, Copy, & Rename
Add capture time to filenames. Create dated folders on the fly. Copy files to multiple destinations at once. Photo Mechanic's file-management tools are incredibly powerful.

Code Replacements
Save time typing long complex text with Code Replacements. A few keystrokes can add entire sentences to your captions.

GPS Coordinates
Geotag your photos by easily applying your saved GPS tracking logs to your photos with Photo Mechanic. Now, in Photo Mechanic 6: Use GPS data to automatically add city, state and country names to your metadata!

Adjust Capture Dates And Times
Take photos from multiple cameras and get them synchronized to the correct date and time. This is great for wedding photographers with second shooters.

Pick The Best Of The Bunch
View and compare images side by side, horizontally or vertically. Spot differences between images that are too subtle to see when viewing one at a time, or simply pick between two top choices.
