Each folder you open gets a new tab at the top of the window. The window quickly populates with your shots with what Camera Bits calls the Contact Sheet. When you first run the application, you see its empty interface along with a File Explorer window where you choose a folder to open. If you're installing the trial, you have to install yet another applet.
#PHOTO MECHANIC MAC SERIAL NUMBER#
Once you install GStreamer, you continue with the main installation by entering your serial number and giving permission to the app to contact Camera Bit's servers. During installation, a dialog asks whether you want to download GStreamer, which is needed if you want to view videos in Photo Mechanic. Photo Mechanic requires Windows 8 or later or macOS 10.11 or later. Adobe Lightroom Classic, which does an excellent job of importing and organizing, will lock you into a $9.99-per-month subscription for as long as you wan to use the program. The closest thing is Corel AfterShot Pro, which goes for $79.99 and includes more photo editing options and raw camera file correction profiles. It's hard to draw comparisons with competing software, since most of the competitors do a lot more than let you view, import, and organize photos. The premium version, Photo Mechanic Plus ($229 or $90 to upgrade), adds an image database with multiple catalog capability. Upgrading from an earlier version costs $89. Photo Mechanic carries a one-time purchase price of $139.
