A Photo Mechanic plugin or standalone app that normalizes RAW preview sharpness across different camera brands by applying camera-specific demosaicing and sharpening profiles. Ensures consistent preview quality so photographers can cull and review images without adjusting zoom per brand.
Key Features
- Auto-detect camera make and model from EXIF data
- Apply calibrated sharpening profiles per camera (e.g., Canon 1D-X Mark III)
- Real-time preview adjustment in Photo Mechanic or Lightroom
- User-editable profiles for fine-tuning
Target Users: Professional photographers and photo editors who work with mixed-camera shoots and use Photo Mechanic for culling.
Revenue Model: $49 one-time purchase or $2.99/mo subscription
