Richard enthusiastically states, "I have previously used Photo
Mechanic, iView Media Pro, Photoshop, Lightroom, and Aperture for
writing metadata. While adequate, none of them come up to the ease of
use of this new software. I love it. It can do batch and individual
processing, applying stored keywords, categories, and sub-categories
along with all other ITPC data."
METAmachine incorporates the same keywording system that is built into
HindSightÂ’s StockView software and reads and writes XMP formatted
metadata in TIFF, JPEG, PSD and DNG images. The program also provides a
workplace to build a catalog of licenses for your images providing
unambiguous protection against misuse.
Richard Weisgrau also stated, "My educated guess is that when I have
fully mastered it I will cutting the time spent on the chores it
facilitates by as much as 30%, and the great interface really helps
reduce eye strain compared to other programs. It will pay back its $99
cost in time saved in short order."
METAmachine is currently available only for Macintosh OS X but
hopefully we will soon see a version available for all of us poor
Windows users.
