B&W + Color (Compare)

[hexclimber]

When shooting in RAW only, in monochrome.  Is there a means by which I can display a B&W side-by-side with the color version for comparison? Sometimes a photo "works" in B&W but not in color and vice-versa.

No, that feature does not exist in Photo Mechanic at this time.  Feel free to make a post on the Feature Requests section of the forums.

As a workaround, you could quickly copy the photo  (Command-Y, then choose "Original Folder") ) and then edit your copy (Command-E)  to B&W however you normally would. Then in your Preview window (Command-R) you can select side-by-side view. It's not instant, but with keyboard shortcuts it can be pretty quick
