![]() ![]() But fact is that there is currently no PM6 and once released I expect the DAM features to be basic. Photo Mechanic is reknown for their good software and you can expect good things. The concept in Photo Supreme is different, almost opposite, from that in iView/MediaPro. I've switched away from iView shortly after Microsoft acquired it. I have no explanation for that and will report this. This time, the thumbnail building after import takes 25 seconds. Then I removed the file from the PSU catalog and import it again with Import Single Files. That was expected because to build the preview it needs to load the full image. Then I rebuilt the thumb and preview for this file in PSU (ctrl+alt+t). PSU and MediaPro score identical and so they have similar TIFF loading times. MediaPro takes 8 seconds to load the file in the Viewer Photo Supreme takes 8 seconds to load the file in the ViewerĤ. High Sierra takes 14 seconds to load the file in Previewģ. ![]() Windows 10 takes 12 seconds to load the file in PhotosĢ. Then at least we'll have quantified what we're talking about. Just for the fun of it, did a comparison to check how the loading time of large TIFF compare between MediaPro and Photo Supreme. Building these thumbnails and previews is a one time operation and I never had issues with excessive long file loading times. With the full preview once built in Photo Supreme, you won't have to wait for the display of that file again. 8 bit, 16 bit, 32 bit, compressed, uncompressed, multiple alpha channels, RGB, CMYK, CieLab, and I probably forgot a few. It hasn't failed on me yet to load the few exotic flavors from my many years old archive. I've seen quite a few TIFF files in my life while working in the printing industry and I found that Photo Supreme has among the best TIFF support of all the tools that I've used. I’m sure it might work for some people but I didn’t have any luck with it. The thumbnail building was taking way too long. Apple users are just 'spoiled' that things just 'work'. ![]() ![]() My personally greatest difficulties I am actually having is with windows (have not used it in 10 years) and its weird ways of handling some of the details. Overall, I am very pleased with my decision to give it a real try - still have about a week on my timer to make a final decision but for me it looks like the right thing to do ( if it just wasn't for having to deal with windows again it'd be 'perfect' for me. and has what seems to be a sophisticated key wording system implemented. I chose coherence mode and iMatch is running in its own desktop with access to all my folders, files, and external hard drives.(I just swipe to it just like any other MAC desktop in full screen mode) - impressive!Īfter looking a little closer at the ingested image sample I realized what a 'Metadata mess' a lot of them contained that didn't even show up in other software I am using - will take me a while to clean all that up but this software makes for a pleasant and fast work - it did import my structured keywords of my files. My main surprise was in its responsiveness considering the 'virtual' setup through Parallels. I am very impressed with its capabilities and excellent documentation. It has image versioning and image stacking. Now, I have no Catalog sets nor Collections and little I have tried, the program is VERY powerful and deep (the software has Attributes, Collections, and Categories ! So far I know I just scratched the surface but it looks like I found a new home for my hobby.- there will be a learning curve, but it can be done in 'steps'. (just picked my 2016 folder) and the whole process took give and take 4 hours. Well, I am on a MacBook Pro and installed Parallels desktop, Windows10, and iMatch2018 (all on trial for now) and ingested 31372 images (after initial smaller testing sizes of course) - NEF, tiff, jpg, ARW, ORF, iPhone and iPad images. Certainly easier than doing it manually but a very long process. Also I re-ran the Catalog Sets to Collections script for Photosupreme and while it is now doing it automatically it's been running for two days non-stop and has still only done 3% of a 60,000 image catalogue. ![]()
