[Leica] photoshop CS3 stuff

[faneuil at gmail.com (Eric Korenman)]

Only problem right now is that ACR handles M8 DNGs much better
regarding color profiles. LR uses the M8's poor embedded profile.
I think ACR is applying it's own to my M8 DNGs.

All in all, M8 DNGs look much better in ACR than LR (for now)
