Severely outdated and incorrect information
edit"In contrast to competing products such as iView Media Pro, Adobe Bridge, or Extensis Portfolio, Photo Mechanic does not include photo cataloging or asset management features."
Photo Mechanic 6 in the version Plus has full photo cataloguing and asset management features since 2019, with multiple offline libraries support, using a streaming database, supporting at least 100,000-1,000,000 photo assets.
"IPTC" metadata
Photo Mechanic has also supported XMP metadata format for at least since version 5, over a decade ago. Technicality nitpicker (talk) 07:47, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
