features which would make you upgrade?

i share peoples frustration with cost etc of the new Photo Mechanic.

But if we are constructive just for a moment or two:

What feature or x would make you update?

I would think about it if there is custom shortcuts. It really annoys me and, I, of course think it should have been implemented years ago. And it should include all options which would also make automatisation quicker (the automatisation software like key strokes better than moving the mouse around).

Secondly make the option of doing captions, cropping, choosing what FTP go upload and light editing in one window.

What do you think? Or there is nothing that can make you upgrade?

Well, I have a lot of things on my wish list. Custom shortcuts is one of them as well plus various quality of life improvements to day to day tasks, such as ability to turn code replacement files on and off, and reload/refresh them from Ingest window. Sadly these front-end features doesnt seem to be important enough yet

[ulrik]

Well, if they want to charge the money they want they have to do something and we should try to get our things. Unless they think there are no competitors for them.

And they do read this forum and sometimes things are added.

I assume they will do a change of the interface and I hope we can get it customised. So we could change it what fits our workflow. I would like to have one which is optimised for speed so it, for example, opens the last photo in and Im ready to work immidately. There are clearly some things which can be done to make it even faster......

But customisable shortcuts is a big one and it should have been implemented in the old version I think......

A built in raw converter with camera matching profiles and batch processing capability to bring the product closer to Lightroom’s level of features. Do that and I’ll ditch the Adobe subscription and happily pay Camerabits instead.

[ulrik]

Yeah.

That would be amazing.

It could, as I wrote, be light editing.

Cant be that diffficult and a strategy which would make worth the cost (as some can save on other subsricptions as you write) and i think it closes other software for just adding an FTP upload module. In the start Photo Mechanic was really fast compared to other software but they are less ahead now.

For me to update and pay quite a substantial amount more, I need to earn more money. And thats speed (software, option to do all in one window, custom shortcuts, easy to change FTP, automatisation and constant crop.....) and improve quality of photos via editing (extremely quick editing  with a possiblity to auto adjust on all photos)....

It's not just about I'll pay if they are giving to me what I'm asking for. There's also another case: until now I was able to pay PM/PM+ with my work. Now, with the new prices I can't afford anymore it.

Now I've two chance:
1. PM+ will run on much as possible MacOS versions;
2. When PM+ will not run anymore I can afford the new prices (the meaning my life will be a bit better).

Best,
