Photo Mechanic is not the only option out there when it comes to culling tools. Many new tools have emerged and they have even better features than what is available on Photo Mechanic too! Take at some of the great free and paid alternatives we have found.
Select by Narrative is the best alternative to Photo Mechanic. It is built for speed and it has many other exciting industry-leading features that will not only speed up the photo culling process and but also help you choose your very best images.
Select is free to try download and see more information here.
Features:
Unlike some other products that attempt (and often fail) to cull your images for you, Select empowers you to choose your best images faster with the help of industry-leading AI. Why not just do it for you? Because we are photographers too and we know that often images that aren't perfect still make the final selection because of more artistic reasons outside of what any AI can detect. Select still has features that can do some of your culling for you too. But, it gives you both options because we know most photographers aren't willing to compromise the quality of their work to save time, they want both great work and to save time!
