Hi everybody,

Is it possible to ingest tagged (protected) images via usb cable from Canon R3 to MacBook? I know only one method, this is Canon EOS Utility, but maybe is this possible with PM? It could be great, because of quicker workflow.

Thanks,

Laszlo

If the camera can provide the card as drive on the desktop, then Photo Mechanic could work with it directly.  Otherwise, it won't work.  A dedicated card reader will provide better performance and won't fail when the camera's battery fails.
