HEY GANG!!!

I'm really excited about this!!

I often get asked about my workflow and it ALWAYS starts with Photo Mechanic.
then I take the selected shots to -> LR3 or Photoshop. Ever since i've started using this, my workflow time has tripled in speed.

With all the software that i've tried & used to import photos, I haven't yet found one that compares to the speed & effectiveness of this program. They all either lag, get blurry, or negate jpeg embedding from my raw files etc, blah, blah, blah...

HERE'S THE SWEET NEWS !! :

I've been in talks with Photo Mechanic (www.camerabits.com) and they have offered a FREE 2-Month DEMO to US!! ALSO, if you choose to buy it later they will take 10% off the price! Just mention my name and the code to the email below.

Because of its simplicity & effectiveness this'll be the fastest way to import our shots, and narrow them down for editing on the 4th! Honestly, its light years faster than Aperture, LR3, Bridge etc... No joke.

Have fun with it!!

Cheers!
