[Leica] Photo-editing software recommendations?

[Philippe]

Well Mark,

I had thought an internet (wire or wifi) was necessary. But no. 

Since my files are on a local HD I tried right now to de-activate my wifi, then opened LR CCC, selected a file, fiddled with it to make sure it worked, and exported the jepg to my desk. No problem.

So far, it seems to have a life of its own when not connected. I may/must be missing something (apart from the updates) but all seems fine off line.

Try it at home.

Hope this helps

Amities

Philippe
