[Leica] Capture One with M8

Hmm, I wouldn't blame the one or the other tool - they just work in 
different ways and need different handling to get similar results. With 
fiddling around you could probably get switched results in both apps. Looks 
like on the first picture (Lightroom) there was the wrong white 
balance/color temperature applied, together with some kind of 
oversaturation, which lead to that significant noise in the water below the 
boat's body. The second looks better, especially in terms of noise, but has 
a magenta look. 

Not owning a M8, I would nevertheless recommend CaptureOne, as I imagine 
they and Leica strongly cooperated on that project and that converter gets 
the most out of those raws.
