    Hello Guys,

    I'm having trouble finding a decent replacement for Photo Mechanic.

    I used 5D Mark 4 before and always found culling so easy in Photo Mechanic. Ever since I have switched other to Sony. I have trouble having the experience. I tried to use the Fast Raw Viewer but didn't fall in love with it.

    I would love to get your guys suggestion on it.

    PM should work exactly the same across all brands. How is the Sony experience proving different? I've had no issues with mine.

    I use Capture One 11. You should give it a try. I also run it on my surface pro 2017 selecting, rating, deleting ~400 images/shoot and it works fine (dual core cpu).

    I used PM for Canon it worked like a charm. 5D Mark 4 .jpg Here is an example of 5D Mark 4 file being zoomed in. It has so much detail to observe if it's in focus.

    I will also upload A7III with Raw rendering on and off.

    Raw rendering OFF:
    A7III with Raw Rendring OFF.jpg

    Raw rendering ON:
    A7III with Raw Rendring ON.jpg
    All of these photos are 100% zoom in using the Z shortcut in PM.

    Let me know your thoughts.

    Ah. I only use PM to cull. If I wanted to check focus, I'd use C1P's 'focus mask'.
