Photo Mechanic sort
Jan 4, 2024 08:05:28 #
I just acquired a Canon R3. I also shoot with a Canon 1DX II.
When importing into Photo Mechanic the “Capture” sort is not blending the images together. Instead I get the CR2 images in one block and the CR3 images in another block.
Any ideas on how the get the images sorted by Capture time?

I've never heard of Photo Mechanic, so I cannot help you. But I do want to congratulate you on your cameras. I have the same ones and love them.

Are the timestamps of the two cameras in sync? If yes, were you really capturing images from both cameras at the same time?
The two file types might be the problem. If you take just one camera, as a test, and capture both RAW and JPEG, does the same 'block sorting' occur even with one camera?

Can you use sort bt filename? What you said you are experiencing sound like it is sorting by file type.

Actually it could be sorting by name. The images are from two different cameras. The names aren’t gonna be sequential between the two. I don’t know Photo Mechanic, but in Lightroom I can choose sort options and I use capture time.

It is set to sort by capture time. It sorts correctly for the two file types but they are not interspersed by capture time as when all same file type. Sorts cr2, then cr3.

Are you sure the times are right? Maybe one was set for DST and not set back?
