Photo Mechanic

Photo Mechanic is a front-end photo browsing tool by Portland, Oregon-based company Camera Bits. Retailing at approximately $150, it is targeted for the professional photographer market.

While Photo Mechanic has basic support for trivial image edits, such as crops, it is meant to be used in concert with a dedicated photo editing program, such as Adobe Photoshop, and a back-end cataloging tool, such as iView Media Pro or Extensis Portfolio. The main goal of Photo Mechanic is to allow the photographer to quickly accomplish the initial capture of photos from his or her camera, to categorize photos into winners and losers, and to quickly and easily tag each photo with IPTC metadata.
