PM's crop tool is so much faster than LR (though the PM6 crop tool is several times slower than PM 5 - what happened guys, why did you make it worse!).Ī question for those using PM: From what I read on the PM web site, the emphasis seems to be on the ingest process. The result is that in LR I can finish up probably 80% of the shots in the quick develop pane and never have to go to the much slower develop section, as what I will need to do is usually just touch up exposure and white balance a bit. One note: I find as big, if not bigger benefit from PM is to do a crop and straighten pass on the keepers before taking into LR. PM 6 now is not so fast, but still worth it. PM 5 was really blindingly fast, and FRV was faster than lightroom, but not really in the same ballpark. I come back from an event with 1000-3000 shots usually, and want to distill that down to maybe 50-80 quickly before the press release needs to go out. I like to get GPS tagging out of the way before I do any edits.

Using the cell app might be better for long hikes in the woods, but for normal urban photos, I find manual tagging in PM to be fast. It seems like there will always be quirks with using the cell app for GPS tagging, and Photo Mechanic makes GPS tagging very easy and fast to do manually. However I do appreciate feedback! See help > about for contact info. Fair warning - I wrote this for myself, so don't expect support. If anyone wants to give it a try, you can download it at Winnow. I think my poor head is going to explode. Learning c++, the Qt framework, image formats, multi-threading, colour management. Well, I've learned that a good program is fast, ergonomic and reliable, but getting all three is difficult. I tried to write my own image culling program - after all, how hard can it be. If you have a lot of images and not much time then I would go for PM. FRV renders the raw image and gives you precise info on exposure etc and it is a great price. My version is 10 years old and I'm still getting updates. PM is faster and has comprehensive metadata editing and is expensive.

What are the differences and strengths and limitations of these (or other?) software programs for the sorting and culling of large numbers of images before importing a select set into a post-processing program like Lightroom? FastRawViewer for sorting/culling before import?
