[Leica] iPhoneography Workflow?

[Bill Pearce]

This comes as no surprise to me. It demonstrates the expected and intended 
use and what happens in the real world. Photos are for showing on a postage 
stamp screen, not for making fine prints and such.  Raw files are totally 
unnecessary. Want to take photos? Get a camera.

I simply connect the phone.
Open LR.
Import the DNG files from the phone.
Process the files in LR.
Export and/or print as with any other camera.

Not sure why this seems at all difficult.

Simply treat the iPhone camera as any other digital camera.
