Bob & Dawn Davis
Photo Mechanic is open on my desktop every single day that I’m working. It’s my “go to” program that I use all the time. It’s fast and simple, and absolutely brilliant for culling, applying caption information, and downloading to two different locations at once. The ingesting is fast as it downloads multiple cards at once. I love that I can adjust the size, resolution, rename the image, place a watermark on the image, etc., all while emailing, moving, coping, and/or saving images. It’s crazy cool and a program that I can’t live without!

PhotoMechanic saves us hours every time we cull a wedding because we can select images at lightning speed. Now that we use it, we can't imagine our business without it. Our only regret is that we didn't switch over sooner!

Whether I am editing thousands of pictures from the World Series or dozens of iPhone pictures of my cats, I can’t do my job without Photo Mechanic. Ever since I stopped shooting chrome and switched to digital in 2003 I have been using Photo Mechanic every day on either my desktop or laptop Macs. For editing and captioning on deadline after a ballgame there is nothing better. There is a reason Photo Mechanic has been the industry standard for almost 20 years.

(4/2/2020 3:48PM PST) Update: The new build of Photo Mechanic 6 is now available
If you’ve used prior versions of Photo Mechanic on a Mac, you may have seen a search box at the top of the Contact Sheet. This was the “Spotlight” search box and it was simply a way to use macOS’ built-in “Spotlight” search. It had a few drawbacks – It didn’t index XMP files, so metadata that was stored in XMP was invisible. It had a hard time with RAW files. So if you added a keyword to a RAW file and then tried to find it with Spotlight search, you’d get nothing. This was a problem for a lot of users. It was only available on Macs, and sometimes cross-platform Windows users were confused by that.

We originally thought that the Catalog feature in Photo Mechanic Plus would solve all of this. It works cross-platform on Mac and Windows. It handles all file types. It searches all the metadata. It is much much faster. It is just better in almost every conceivable way. And in early testing, having two separate types of search; Catalog vs Spotlight seemed superfluous and confusing, causing problems in the UI. So, we removed Spotlight search from the Mac version of Photo Mechanic 6 and patted ourselves on the back.
We’ve heard from users that there are a few significant use cases for Spotlight search, particularly for finding newly-added JPEGs before they can be scanned into a Catalog. In fact, our users had come up with many clever and crucial uses for Spotlight search that we had not anticipated. Bringing it back into Photo Mechanic 6 was not a straightforward task. After getting so much feedback about this issue, we’ve decided to listen and make the change.
A Spotlight search feature similar to what existed in Photo Mechanic version 5 was added to the limited public beta of Photo Mechanic Plus and tests have gone well, so the Spotlight search will come back to Photo Mechanic in the next production build of Photo Mechanic 6 (for the Mac only). We expect this sometime next week (The week of March 30, 2020). If you have enabled Photo Mechanic’s Check for Updates in Help > Software Update, you’ll get a notification.
We’re also looking to take some pressure off folks dealing with losses during this time, so we’ll be making an adjustment to the price of upgrading from Photo Mechanic 5 to Photo Mechanic 6. Upgrades from Photo Mechanic 5 to Photo Mechanic 6 will be just $49 as soon as the new build of Photo Mechanic 6 is released, so keep an eye out for that. That pricing is expected to last through the end of April 2020. We will post on our social channels and in our Newsletter as soon as that happens.
Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback on this. We pride ourselves on listening to that feedback, and acting on it even in the rare cases that it means a significant course correction. We hope this change will help people get back to saving time in Photo Mechanic and enable folks to hit the ground running as soon as they can get back to work when the time comes.
Stay well, everyone.
(P.S. There will also be $15 off new licenses of Photo Mechanic 6, and for users at accredited educational institutions, our EDU pricing will also be $49 for new and upgrade licenses for the duration of the sale)
