Product Description:
Camera Bits is pleased to announce its latest version of Photo Mechanic, a must-have digital camera image browser. Photo Mechanic is the answer for professional digital photographers looking for a fast and easy-to-use image browser for digital camera files. Photo Mechanic's innovative batch captioning, renaming, speedy browsing, and Photoshop connectivity features have made it the choice of thousands of photojournalists and professional photographers worldwide. Now Carbonized for native Mac OS X and OS 9 operation, and optimized for use with professional cameras from Nikon, Canon, and Olympus, Photo Mechanic has become the standard tool for digital image browsing.
Photo Mechanic is a standalone image browser that lets you view your digital photos with convenience and speed. Photo Mechanic displays the "thumbnails" of photos on a camera disk or folder in a familiar "contact sheet" display windows. You can quickly rotate, preview, copy, delete, tag, rename, and add caption / keyword (IPTC news record) information to photos both individually and in batches. Photo Mechanic helps you find the best photo amongst several similar shots with its preview display that lets you flip through a group of selected photos at high resolution. Photo Mechanic can then pass the photos you select on to Adobe Photoshop for image retouching.

What's new in this version:
- (Mac) Added support for as-shot RAW rendering using ImageIO on Mac OS X 10.5.3 for the Nikon D60, Olympus E-3, and the Sony DSLR-A200 and DLSR-A350.
- (Mac) Restored speed of browsing and ingesting flash cards due to Mac OS X 10.5.3 update.
- Added support for reading Nikon's frame number from maker notes of newer cameras.
- Added the ability to synchronize the color class value with the IPTC/XMP Urgency field. This provides color label compatibility support for Nikon Capture NX 2 and other applications that use the IPTC/XMP Urgency field for non-standard purposes.
- Sound files (.WAV) that are named "SND_xxxx.WAV" are now attached to photos that have the same frame number as part of their filename (e.g. "IMG_xxxx.JPG").
- Ingest now ignores folders that begin with a period ('.').
- The IPTC Info dialog now correctly saves the IPTC Date and Time when set to Capture Time or Modification Time.
- Applying an IPTC Stationery Pad with Capture Time or Modification Time now works properly. Doing so now also sets the IPTC Time as well as the IPTC Date.
- Spaces are now inserted between the command and the next keyword in the Keywords field.
- The JPEG quality setting now works properly on the entire set of Uploader templates.
- (Mac) Fixed a problem with temporary filenames being too long when copying photos to a Windows server using AFP.
- (Mac) On Leopard, applying the Color Class via keyboard shortcut would apply the setting multiple times. This has been fixed.
- (Mac) The Color Class snapshot button in the General tab of the Preferences dialog now works correctly.
- (Mac) Fixed a problem in Save As where the saved filename would have a .JPG.TIF extension when TIFF was the chosen output and the source was a RAW photo of a RAW+JPEG pair.
- Sorting by {lens} now works properly for focal lengths greater than or equal to 100.
- Added code to recover from missing settings data from Export and Uploader templates.
- XMP settings for Adobe Camera Raw are no longer embedded into JPEGs (e.g. when updating XMP from a RAW file to its JPEG pair).
- XMP sidecar files are no longer transferred when FTP As is used on a RAW file to upload a JPEG or TIFF.

That last comment seemed a bit rude and unnecessary, although the developer has quite clearly listed all of what's new with this version. The developer's product has always been top notch, and I've always had good customer service from them. Back off a little.

the amount of time that photo mechanic 4 saves me in managing my files makes it pay for itself on a weekly basis- it's amazing- in particular the newer raw+jpeg features and email functionality are great, it allows me to instantly email or generate web galleries from low res jpegs while keeping big raw files in the background for printing or editing. and the ability to classify images makes it a snap to pick out the best images to use and come back to them later while keeping the whole take of images together in one folder. love it, love it, love it. I only wish you could customize the html outputs more- right now i still generate my web galleries via photoshop, but as soon as the next version allows totally customized web templates, i'll stop using photoshop altogether...
