As I&#8217;ve mentioned Photo Mechanic is much, MUCH faster at ingesting, or downloading, images than Lightroom. It also supports concurrent downloading, which means you are able to download from more than one memory card simultaneously (with Lightroom, you must do each card individually one at a time).<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, can I import from photos to Lightroom? You can import from your computer, an external hard drive, or a camera into your Lightroom Classic catalog. Importing from a computer or hard drive: On the left, select the hard drive and folder(s) of photos to import. If you don&#8217;t see your photos, make sure Include Subfolders is checked.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XrDBRFP6Q78\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>How do I resize an image in Photo Mechanic?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Select the images you want to resize and use the &#8220;Save As&#8221; function (on a MAC press Command-S). Choose the size and quality you want to apply to the images. Adjust the Destination to your needs. Changed from behind the cam to one who buys images as I started to run.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I open a JPEG in Camera Raw from Photo Mechanic?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zmes9ksju0E\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can you edit in Photo Mechanic?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Edit your photos in Photo Mechanic in a flash! View all of your images, identify your keepers, tag your alternates, and add crucial metadata and never slow down. Photo Mechanic helps you do it fast! Editing your photos can be a lot of work.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How is Photo Mechanic so fast?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Photo Mechanic uses the embedded sidecar preview file of a RAW file (similar to Lightroom CC Classic these days) and instantaneously generates previews of the RAW files. However, it is MUCH FASTER than Lightroom and you won&#8217;t ever be spending time waiting for the file to load before you can check focus. ever. again.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How good is Photo Mechanic?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Photo Mechanic is the only software I&#8217;ve used which can display images full-screen, and pop from one image to the next instantly, without any delay for the images to pop-in perfectly sharp full-screen. &#8230; It&#8217;s so nice having software that just runs, runs fast, has no bugs and just does what I want it to, how I want it to.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is Photo Mechanic plus worth it?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, Photo Mechanic is a great piece of software that&#8217;s completely worth its price. It saves you a lot of time, and as they say, time is money. More than that, it saves you a lot of tedious work, and that is \u2013 at least for me \u2013 the most valuable thing.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Should I import all my photos into Lightroom?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Collections are safe, and will keep most users out of trouble. You can have as many sub-folders inside that one main folder as you want, but if you want to have peace, calm, and order in your Lightroom, the key is not to import photos from all over your computer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Why can&#8217;t I import photos into Lightroom Classic?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The most common reason Lightroom can&#8217;t import your photos is that it believes the files are already imported. When this happens, certain files will appear greyed out and cannot be imported into the catalog. To fix this, go to File Handling and uncheck the \u201cDon&#8217;t Import Suspected Duplicates\u201d option.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I import photos to Lightroom mobile?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open any photo app on your device. Select one or more photos that you want to add to Lightroom for mobile (Android).  <\/li>\n<li>After selecting the photos, tap the Share icon. From the pop-up menu that appears, choose Add To Lr.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What is the cost of Photo Mechanic?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Photo Mechanic pricing starts at $139.00 per user, as a one-time payment.
