[Leica] moving beyond Adobe

[Sonny Carter]

I agree, and for the rent, they keep the yard trimmed.  PS and Lightroom
seem to be amazingly bug free, it keeps up with updates to Win 10 from what
I can see, and the integration between these and other CC products is good
too.  Whenever an update is ready, it’s a simple click, unlike when we had
to muddle through a whole package upgrade.
