Photo Mechanic v6 Share Wear...
David H. Hartman:
I found Photo Mechanic v6 is available for download as shareware. I wonder if anyone is using this version of Photo Mechanic and if so how do you like it?

Øivind Tøien:
I tried it a very long time ago. The issue I had then was that the ratings (star, color, cannot remember if that included both) was not aligned with the standard of Nikon software and came out differently when the files were opened there. This could have changed but is a thing to watch out for. Also I found the structured keywording very complicated and too advanced for my non-professional use.
Anthony:
Photo Mechanic 6 is the current version. Is the download just a trial version?
I am not a professional, but I have used Photo Mechanic for over ten years, longer than any other photo software. It is overkill for my needs, but is fast and flexible.
BEZ:
Previously I did event photography and Photo Mechanic was invaluable to me. I no longer do it, so have not upgraded from v5.
I would recommend you try it for yourself and see if it fits your workflow.
Shareware or pirated?

Do you mean you think the Shareware program being offered may be pirated?
Years ago I bought Nikon Capture NX for an outfit called Image Mixer. There were reports that they were selling hacked and pirated software. I was lucky and got my money back through my credit card. About a month later I bought Nikon Capture NX2, full version, from B&H Photo NY, NY.
I'll look in to the possibility and download from the maker's website if there is a free or low priced version. I think the regular version is $150.00 USD.
Thanks
Dave
