[Leica] moving beyond Adobe

[Ted Grant]

A couple of things with all this new whatever it is?
1/ What I don't see anywhere that all this extra fiddling does is? Twiddle the colours, contrast and whatever other twiddling you far more operating skills many of you lads/lasses have?
ME? I only see paying more money that does nothing to improve the sharpness of my trigger finger click! It doesn't make you " THE PHOTOGRAPHER IMPROVE YOUR RE-ACTING TO THE MOMENT OR YOUR SIGHT AT THE MOTIVATING MOMENT?
WILL IT MAKE YOUR RE-ACTIONS THE INCREDIBLE PHOTO MOMENT	to make you jump with joy at the split second click?
So guys and gals? Me? I'm sticking with my well functioning M8 and lenses and saving every cent? DOLLAR!:-) So I can buy one of those new LEICA SLR's before I hit the long long trail to the very last "click."
At one time I could follow all the techie jargon you lads bounced around.  TODAY? The only thing I need to improve on is?
"KEEPING the TRIGGER FINGER SHARP AND FAST."
The twuddling bits and adjustments that do nothing but suck more money from our pockets? BUT NOTHING to SHARPEN our eyes seeing and capturing the photographic moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
REMEMBER? IT'S THE CAPTURED MOMENT AS YOU  SAW IT!
NOT THE ELECTRONIC FIDDLED AND FARTED UPON image!
HAVE A NICE DAY!
CHEERS

I’ve tried some of the competitors’ offers (Capture one, ON1, Silk Pix, etc.), but always found they missed something. LR is a fully integrated suite for the photog and the layman -I’m of the latter form- that has no match so far. LR CC is for 2.0 kids playing with iPhone btw. So I wnet to LR CCC (read Classic, that one with the compulsory life rent you call monthly fees ...)

So long as you have a stand alone version and keep the same camera LR is fine.

High Sierra broke a few features of Photoshop PS5, I suppose it's only a matter of time before an OS 'upgrade' renders the rest of it useless.  I'm using Capture 1 for Sony (free with my camera) for raw conversion, and CS5 for the finishing touches.  Last I checked, ON1 doesn't support the DMR's .DNG files so its usefulness is limited.
