|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Photo Mechanic or Fotostation Kevin P. Tucker, Photographer Rockland | DE | USA | Posted: 8:09 AM on 04.18.03 ->> Howdy all... This isn't meant as a Nikon vs Canon type thread. I need to know pros and cons. Anybody have a problem with either? Are they basically both the same? Either one have a feature that you feel is more helpful than the other? Has/does anyone use both? I am going to be running a 1D and a new g4 powerbook so any like experiences would be helpful. Thanks...  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Once you apply the overall IPTC you can do a whole (stock) take from a baseball agme in about 45 min. If you need to write specific captions for each (select) image, a bit longer.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I want to have the whole thing so I'm trying to convince the powers that be to buy it for me. It's pretty cheap too, from what I understand. I like it a whole lot better than Nikon view V. dan  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Mike O'Bryon, Photographer Ft. Lauderdale | FL | USA | Posted: 5:47 PM on 04.18.03 ->> I do more events these days than individual assignments. I might have 4-6 thousand images to "process." I swear by Photo Mechanic 3.2.2. for renaming and captioning. I wish it would handle Canon RAW files (rather than just pass them to PhotoShop)...but hopefully that's coming. Because of that I shoot mostly in JPEG. I've been using Photo Mechanic as long as I've been shooting digital (98) and it has served me well... MOB  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I'm going to look into both since I will be shooting Canon RAW. Thanks again!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I use it in my work (MAC only at this time) and it is great. www.iview-multimedia.com I have friends using Photomechanic, but Iview looks simpler and friendlier to me. I'm shooting usually 1-3 thousand images a weekend.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
