![]() Photo Mechanic Import: 17 minutes and 54 seconds to import 1635 Images and rename them all on import. Just to be clear, it was the exact same files in the exact same card readers for the tests. In Lightroom, the renumbering is done a card at a time meaning that they are not is capture order, and to make matters worse the import module doesn’t remember the last import so the second (and third) cards don’t keep sequential numbering. On a quick side note, Photo Mechanic looks at the images on the cards and figures out the renumbering so that the files are all renumbered correctly by the capture time. Finally I will import them into a new Lightroom catalog from where I saved them on my drive using Photo Mechanic. So for the test, I am going to first import all the photos using Photo Mechanic, then import them again (1 card at a time) using Lightroom. I am not going to even get into what I can do with the IPTC stationary pad. You can also see that in one window I can decide on the file location, the backup location, rename the files on import, merge the files to the same location, only import new photos, erase the source after import and unmount the source after import. Maybe not important to the average shooter by a HUGE timesaver for those us shooting multiple cameras or very long events. In Photo Mechanic the sources are all listed in the center and multiple cards can be selected al lat once. ![]() Lightroom sees all three and allows me to pick only 1.Īs you can see in the screen shots, Lightroom doesn’t even show me that I have 3 cards ready to go in the main panels, I have to look down at the card icon to see that three cards are ready to import. Photo Mechanic sees all three and allows me to choose 1, 2 or all three to import at the same time. If I take three cards, an XQD, CF card and SD card and plug them into my card readers.
