Holding down the Shift key on Mac or Ctrl key on Windows and using the arrow keys will move the crop by ten pixels at a time. Modifier-arrows while the Crop tool is active allow movement of the crop. Crops can now be nudged via the keyboard.If a crop exists on a photo, pressing Modifier-C (Shift on Windows, Option on Mac) will remove the crop. It has been repurposed to turn the Crop tool on and off. The ‘C’ key no longer toggles Color Management.Copy/Paste/Clear Rotation/Remove/Make UnconstrainedĪnd Settings are all accessible from the Crop submenu. Added new contextual menu items for Crops.When Preview crops are present but the Crop tool is inactive, the sizing corners, grid overlay, and cross-hair are not drawn in order to give feedback that the crop is not currently editable. Resizing crops from the edges is now easier due to a proportionally sized hit box on the inside of the crop rectangle.

Crop changes: clicking outside of a crop while the Crop tool is active no longer clears the crop and starts a new one.This allows change in case of a file name. Find and Replace in file names now does a two-pass rename, first to a temporary name, second to the final name.If I can be bothered and can find an easy way of doing it in bulk, I will delete the upper case original XMP files, but it doesn't seem to be a burning issue as I will likely always export files from Lightroom.We have a new updated build that solves a number of issues present in the 15451 build and adds some new features.

Photo mechanic 5.0 archive#

My historic archive (30k+ files!) now has an upper and lower case xmp file for each file, with the upper case version being out of date and redundant. My solution was to simply set Photomechanic so save extensions in lower case, mirroring that of LR which simply saves to the one common xmp. Then when exporting the raw files into Lightroom, LR saves its own lower case. I had my Photomechanic originally set up to save file extensions upper case. xmp files with a lower case extension and there is no means of changing that.

ie you can't install their apps on them, can you can store your archive on one. The conclusion I came to after seeing a few related forum posts, was that Adobe doesn't work great on case-sensitive file systems which Synology is.

Not sure whether that makes a difference, I'm on a Mac. Photo Mechanic Version 5.0, build 19749 20d085a

Macbook Pro mid 2015 with Intel Core i& and Mojave I don't understand why a second XMP is being created instead of the original being written to instead. I tested this in on a small number of files and found that instead of writing it to the existing XMP file that was created by Photo Mechanic, LightRoom instead creates a second XMP file which isn't read by Photo Mechanic and as a result when I view the image caption/keywords in Photo Mechanic it shows the original unchanged keywords.įrom what I can see when I view the two XMP files in Finder, the only difference between the two is the info listed under the 'Kind' column in Finder - the original XMP says 'Adobe Extension Information' while the new XMP file says 'XMP Sidecar'. I have been making keyword changes to my archive in Lightroom, and figured I should save the metadata changes to the files which I thought would write to the existing XMP file. My workflow is to ingest RAW files from my camera card with Photo Mechanic, caption/keyword in Photo Mechanic (this creates XMP files), then import into Lightroom.
