I am starting the new year with a new workflow. I will be using Photo Mechanic fully for ingestion, keywording, IPTC and export. For raw conversions I am switching to Capture NX-2 and NX-D as a start and probably Photo Ninja when I have figured out exactly how to optimize my workflow in Photo Mechanic. I like ACR less and less the more I use Capture as I need to do so many small tweaks to get the same result as my in-camera settings that carry over so well to Capture.
Jerry, congratulations on finding a solution that preserves the keywording between the two DAM solutions.
