Subject: [Leica] Does Lightroom 2 Support M8 Raw Files?

 

 
Based on this page from Adobe
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html  it appears that the
answer is no.  Since several other Leica digital cameras *are* on that list,
I'm puzzled.  Can someone straighten me out??? <<<<<<<<<

 

Hi John,

Never even thought nor read anything about this. Right from the get go with
the M8 the card was out of camera into computer Lightroom and down loaded in
a flash! And has done so ever since. The only change I had to make was after
purchasing 8gig cards I had to buy a high speed card reader rather than
plugging the card directly into computer. Other than that, any number of
loaded cards have been downloaded from M8 into Lightroom 2 with absolutely
no problem.

 

I look at this in my usual un educated manner of, "what you haven't read
wont hurt you." :-)  I just do it and find out later! :-) Good, bad or ugly!

 

It's all about KISS! :-)

 

I'm sure others will have a more credible report than I! :-)
