So here then is a quick look at the capabilities of each of these two programs and a few words on how I use them.

And yes, both are available for Windows and Mac OSX platforms. Also, both programs are available for extended free trials, and are available for download. A quick search here on the web will turn up any number of salient reviews and commentaries. Both are now mature offerings, and have been reviewed extensively online and in print. Both of these programs have been on the market for several years. But, if you sit down with working photographers and glance over their shoulders as they work on location with their laptops, or in their studios, these two programs are more often than not the ones that are in use. These are by no means the only programs in their fields, and many would argue for other contenders. These are Photo Mechanicand IView Media Pro. There are currently (December, 2005) two programs which stand out for me, and which have been embraced by professional photographers. Professional photographers also need to ensure that all of their files are well annotated using the IPTC fields, with copyright information and extensive keywording so that images can be easily identified and retrieved.
Their needs therefore differ greatly when it comes to how they transfer, review, catalogue and organize their files. Some shoot just a handful of frames every now and then, while others return from distant lands with Gigabytes of data and thousands of images.
