Ingesting – Photo Mechanic. As I’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). Compared to Photo Mechanic 5, Adobe Bridge falls behind quite far. The biggest problem is speed. Photo Mechanic will render thumbnails many times faster than Bridge can. Then there is ‘ingesting’. Unlike Bridge, Photo Mechanic 5 can (and will) download your photos, rename them, caption them and make a backup – all in one step.
