[Leica] Tuesday Trees

[Lluis Ripoll]

Hi Don,

I  don’t use Lightroom any more, some time ago, depending of the picture I processed it in Capture One or Lightroom, but I’ve had always problems with the LR Catalog when I install a new disc to reset the settings and lost a lot of them, after a while I’ve decided to not use LR and I have traspassed all to C1, on the other hand, I work with film and the image on the computer is just for me a pre-visualization, for this reason I’m not concerned for the new software improvements. I recognize that many pictures look great, at least at the monitor and yours are wonderful. I don’t know what is a calibrated system WYSWYG.

In fact I have never fully adapted to new technologies, I have been trained since I was very young with film, with mechanical devices, without batteries. When I started to photograph when I was 13 years old, the most used films were 15 or 18 DIN (ISO 25 or 50), I perfectly remember one day my father gave me a 21 DIN film (ISO 100) and he told me, it's fantastic, it's very fast! In Spain at least it was rare to get Tri-X, and in 1965 I had used Ferrania 8mm 27 DIN (ISO 400) film for night shots. My favorite until it was discontinued was Kodak Plus X.

Best!
Lluis
