For me the PM-App could be have less functions
My workflow would be:
- ingest the photos with renaming of the files and apply iptc from Template (copyrights, contact, google, etc prepared at home before the shooting)
- view and select with stars
- fill in Caption, Headline, Keyword (all other fields would have been filled before with templates during the ingest) - no need of variable
Then moved the Raws and xmp to capture one on pc, or soon on their upcoming iPad/iPhone-App
transmit the images could be done with any other ftp-Freeware
Ideally, broadly speaking, my ideal work in the field would be very similar to the current workflow with the desktop PhotoMechanic:
- ingest the photos;
- view and select;
- fill in the necessary fields (with the advantages of variables, etc.);
- rename;
- transmit the images;
after this quick processing, finish selecting and archiving with PM+ on the desktop computer.
