[Leica] lightroom

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Mark,

Glad we agree.  To me, the file from the camera is very similar to the 
exposed film I used to get from my Leica IIIa in the 1950s and 60s.  
It's a starting point.  What I refer to as processing includes necessary 
straightening, cropping, exposure adjustment, and tonal adjustments to 
make it a useful image.  I seldom shoot landscapes on a tripod, so I 
have no dedication to printing full images as framed in the camera.  
What you see is what I feel is the necessary part of the exposed image, 
not what happened to fall within its field of view when I released the 
shutter.
