PhotoMechanic with a7RIII files?
(1/1)
5280Headshots:
I used to use PhotoMechanic back in the day, but eventually CaptureOne Pro got fast enough with my 5DmkIII files that I stopped using it. I recently made the jump to the a7RIII, and with these ~85 MB RAW files, I'm considering giving PhotoMechanic another shot. Anyone here care to speak to the speed difference when culling a7RIII files in PM vs C1P?
Thanks!

I don't use C1P very much, but I don't think PM is particularly slow with the Sony. I have an A7RIII (same size raw files) and shoot RAW+JPG. Shooting with JPG allows PM to display a full size preview.

Speed is relative.
I have a new Mac Mini with USB C SD card reader and SD external HD. Reading JPEGs is lightening fast, ARW files is tornado fast. CP1, has been abandoned, but for general performance reasons, I didn't try read write comparisons.
The USB C technology is the key. I can't say the same for USB 2 or 3 and on my old 2011 iMac, ARW files took a long time.
