Photo Mechanic is used by a lot of high volume event and sports shooters because the previews build so fast, and tasks like renaming and keywording can be an automated part of the import process.

My rather meticulous workflow uses Bridge and iView Media Pro – but when you’re taking 10 minute long exposures, you don’t have a lot of volume. :)

I don’t know how I managed without it for my own library. In fact, I haven’t needed any other catalog management software, especially for editing raw files w/ ACR and PSCS2.

Have fun w/ it!

Apparently it is in free beta right now. I'm going to have to try that out next. Although now all of a sudden I'm kind of attached to Bridge.

Your RAW workflow sounds very similar to mine - painstaking. I just ran Bridge and must say that I agree. I have avoided shooting RAW for my day-to-day stuff and only used it for the really important stuff. With the ease of workflow that Bridge affords, I am going to move over to RAW only.

Bridge is excellent for managing large numbers of RAW files. You don't even need to open them in Photoshop at all - you can select a whole folder-full and adjust all their RAW conversion settings right there in Bridge. How did you manage without all this time?
