[Leica] M9 & M240 Processing

[Mark Rabiner]

If anybody was foolish enough to ask me I'd say it could just boil down to
the original file size... As in how many pixels across it is... And how the
Lightroom software deals with it.
The M9 has 5,212 x 3,472 pixies./ 18 megapixels.
The M plain vanilla has 5,952 x 3,976 which is 24 megapixels.
Not that much bigger than the M9 but maybe big enough where it has to come
down twice instead of once to get it on your screen.


This kind of thing has been in issue in my workflo which is Bridge. I've no
doubt thrown away all kinds of key images became I didn't realize they were
not out of focus but not popping into focus fast enough. (4 years ago) On my
meager laptop it can take a long ten seconds to pop into focus. Sometimes I
run out of patience and I just open it in ACR and set it to 1:1 (command
option 0).
I was just looking at more memory last night I have two 2 G memory cards in
there now which was the starting out pack.
