Severely outdated and incorrect information
[edit]"In contrast to competing products such as iView Media Pro, Adobe Bridge, or Extensis Portfolio, Photo Mechanic does not include photo cataloging or asset management features."
Photo Mechanic 6 in the version Plus has full photo cataloguing and asset management features since 2019, with multiple offline libraries support, using a streaming database, supporting at least 100,000-1,000,000 photo assets.
"IPTC" metadata
Photo Mechanic has also supported XMP metadata format for at least since version 5, over a decade ago. Technicality nitpicker (talk) 07:47, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
