Final Chance to Purchase the Industry Standard for Fast and Powerful Photo Workflow Software for Only $60

Portland, Oregon -- Camera Bits, Inc., a pioneer in the development of software for professional digital photographers, today announced its special promotion to celebrate the company's 15th anniversary will end on April 30, 2011.

Since debuting in 1998, Photo Mechanic has earned its reputation for being the most efficient and powerful workflow software for professional photographers. The software has become a mainstay for photojournalists seeking a reliable solution to help them efficiently browse, caption and manage large batches of digital images. In fact, the Associated Press and other news organizations have standardized their workflow on Photo Mechanic. In addition to time-crunched pros, photo enthusiasts have embraced the software for its ease-of-use and features such as geo-tagging and upload templates for popular photo sharing websites.

“Camera Bits is offering this special promotion price in order to share the software, which professional photographers have long considered a must-have, with a widening audience of photo enthusiasts and smaller photography organizations,” says Dennis Walker, president and founder of Camera Bits.

“The 15th anniversary of Photo Mechanic represents a milestone, and we are proud of our ability to consistently improve upon our celebrated software.”
