<div dir="ltr">I have used both Photo Mechanic & Lightroom Classic. Although LR was originally designed to be a database, it now offers editing options that rival Photoshop, including generative AI (said without commentary on the ethics of AI). If you don’t
need all those bells & whistles, Photo Mechanic is fast and easy for organization. I found it to be used mostly by journalists, which is an endorsement for its speed and ease of use. I ended up leaning on Lightroom because I do want editing options, but was
impressed with Photo Mechanic. </div>

<div style="font-size:14px;font-family:Archivo">I second Paul's suggestion: Photo Mechanic (or Photo Mechanic Plus). I worked at The Seattle Times for almost a couple decades and I use Photo Mechanic because all the Times photographers did. It's pretty widely
a professionals' choice. It's easy to tag and categorize and is especially fast to ingest photo files. It's made to be a database as opposed to software like Lightroom where DB functions are part of a larger suite of editing, etc.<br>
