Can Photo Mechanic deliver reports based on EXIF data?

[ggeinec]

I'm using Photo Mehanic 4.6.8. I've searched these forums and I've browsed the user manual trying to find out if Photo Mechanic is able to scan through EXIF data in folders of photos and provide reports about things like distribution of apertures and shutter speeds used, distribution of focal lengths used, etc.. Is there a way to do this? If there is, can it work with Nikon's NEF format or must the photos be JPG? Thanks!

No, but you could export various fields as text and use some other program to create those insights.  PM can work equally well in getting EXIF information from NEFs and JPEGs.

BTW, please get version 4.6.9 as it fixes a number of issues present in version 4.6.8.  It is a free update for all PM 4.6.x users.

Thanks. I was was hoping for something simpler.

Thanks for recommending this. I had downloaded the update some time ago and never followed through with installing it. Done.
