Photo Mechanic Plus was withdrawn from sale in March 2026. Your captions live in the files, not the catalog. How GalleryID Desktop's Catalog picks the archive up.
GalleryID Desktop captions sports photos three ways: MatchID and review, roster shortcodes, or Who Is This on one unclear frame. Pick per game.
GalleryID Desktop writes the athlete's name and its variations into the caption template fields you set up, from a roster you bind once. No headshots required.
GalleryID Desktop runs MatchID locally on Mac and PC. Tag players offline, embed names in metadata, and browse your whole archive with the Catalog.

Pre-season setup for sports photography: roster headshots, jersey color uploads, and folder permissions that pay back across months of galleries.
