I love how you can manage noise and not lose sharpness in the process. This is my favorite tool to use as a designer/photographer because it covers every element needed for quick, professional retouching.

The amount of RAM it uses to open, I can only have one other Adobe program open while I'm using it, and as a designer I almost never have only one program open, so it limits the amount I use it.

I love that photo mechanic has made the culling process easier and more efficient. I like that I am able to star photos and rate them and then easily move them/sort them to new locations. When sorting through thousands of photos as a wedding photographer...

The user design is less efficient and outdated compared to tools like Lightroom.
