“We are thrilled to help students, educators and institutions of all sizes experience Photo Mechanic,” said Dennis Walker, founder and president/CEO of Camera Bits. “It has become the industry standard for photographers to sort, manage and edit multiple images, and we believe that students should have the opportunity to learn about digital photography and photojournalism with the same tools they will be using as professionals. And, the ability of Photo Mechanic to run on relatively inexpensive, efficient and portable Netbooks is often the deciding factor for budget-minded students and schools that wish to use professional-grade photo editing software. Obviously, applications such as Apple’s Aperture aren’t designed for this class of hardware.”
In June, Camera Bits announced it had surpassed the milestone of 35,000 licenses sold of its version 4.0+ Photo Mechanic software. The company also reported record sales of Photo Mechanic in its most recent quarter.
